Simulation
PSPICE:A free circuit
simulator with limited capabilities for Windows-based
computers.
Computational
electromagnetics:A free finite-element program for Windows-based
computers. However, the program also works satisfactorily under Linux
using WINE. I expect to present more on
computational-electromagnetics software in the future. David Meeker
maintains an active mailing list.
This is a difficult subject, actually. Analytic philosophy
has dominated the English-speaking world for over a century, yet it
has so many shortcomings that I can hardly recommend it. At the
present time I am reading Feyerabend's Against Method, in
which he addresses the issues involved.
Arachnophilia:A
free HTML editor which facilitates hand-coding of Web pages.
HTML
Tutorial:An online tutorial in the fundamentals of HTML coding.
Brief but covers the most essential elements of Web authoring.
FTP
Clients:Software for transferring Web pages to a host. One
version WS_FTP lite, is free for non-commercial use, and meets the
needs of most users (including my present needs); another, WS_FTP
Pro, intended for commercial use, costs $39. A manual in PDF format
can be downloaded from this site.
This bird, “David,” was born about 1978 or thereabouts, and lived for 24 years. This is a rather full life for a cockatiel, but by no means a record. He never was tame, but would bite people who attempted to approach him, and was solitary by nature. For some reason, however, his death in the summer of 2002 moved me more than I expected it to, and I resolved to get another cockatiel after his passing.
This pied cockatiel is usually called “Bowie.” Handfed as a baby, it is very tame and loving, and enjoys human interaction very much. It was purchased in August 2002, and hopefully will also live to a ripe age.
