My foot's giving me trouble again, which means I'm hopped up on painkillers and not the best judge of what does and does not make sense. To celebrate this legally altered state, here. Have a review roundup.

Well, this is sort of a review and sort of an ongoing game of verbal volleyball, but here: have the long-belated link to the Babel Clash I

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks.

I have both sympathy and empathy for the foot pain, having once managed to develop plantar fasciitis in both feet simultaneously (although apparently a lesser case than has been visited unto you). I sincerely hope this passes soon.

(If you're curious, I'd be happy to tell you what finally worked for me, but I know you're working with your doctor, your body is different from mine, and in general I try to avoid giving unsolicited advice.)

I loved the reviews -- and especially I've admired Russ Allbery for years, from Usenet, and was delighted to be reacquainted with him.

(I think I have plenty to try, but thank you very much.)

I'm also a long-time fan of Russ and his reviews. I particularly liked "Buffy is completely believable as a computer expert, with all the right bits of obsession in the right places, but also has a complete life and other skills outside of computers. It makes me want to get this book in a substantial hardcover, track down some other authors, and beat them over the head with it. This is how you write a believable young character with computer knowledge."
