After over a year’s hiatus, Chapter 7 of Diane Duane’s self-published-over-the-net novel, The Big Meow, has finally been released to subscribers! Check out the first six chapters, posted for free, and hopefully, you’ll decide to become a subscriber. After the year that Diane has apparently had (multiple family losses, multiple medical issues including gall bladder), a few extra subscribers would be a good thing.

No contest.

Slashdot pointed out today that AVG is scanning every link on every page you go to to “protect” you against malware. Not cool for webmasters who might have to pay extra for the bandwidth. To turn it off, follow the instructions in the AVG FAQ, which are pointed to on this blog, along with some other nice commentary on AVG Free 8.
