I think some public libraries do as well, but if most public libraries are anything like mine, the university one is much better anyway. Most university libraries are also freely available for public use.

Re: \'Elizabethtown\' Interesting... not something I'd go to the theatre to see, I don't think, but probably somethign I'd catch on PPV or rent.... Always interesting to see how Hollywood protrays the locals.

Hmm... Well, I'm working my way through two right now for work: - Agile Web Development with Ruby on Rails - Dave Thomas, David Heinemeier Hansson - Ruby In A Nutshell - Yukihiro Matsumoto And for pleasure... - Talisman - by Robin Wayne Bailey - Book 2 of his "Dragonkin" series, which is...

Now I need to force myself to finish the psi corps trilogy... the first book didn't impress me much, so I stopped there, but I've heard it gets better. Thing is, Iit's been so long and I've forgotten so much that I'll have to suffer through the first one again before I can read the toher two.

Just finished To Dream in the City of Sorrows for the first time (took a while to get around to it....) and, I must say, I was impressed. I thought she wrote the characters ver well and true to themselves. It did a nice job of filling in the gaps, and was definitely a good read.

For some lighter sci-fi reading, I highly reccommend Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series. There are several books... 7 or 8 in the series now, I think. They most certainly must be read in order.These are some of the better books I've read in terms of creating characters that you...

Yah, not sure how UBB works, but if it's using PHP's built in mail function, which it probably does (I hate that built-in mail function, btw, it sucks Spoo), it'll just be the "from" string in the call to the function (if it's even in there) and wouldn't be hard to change at all, either by...

best books: To Dream In The City Of Sorrows The Shadow Within Psi Corps Trilogy Centuary Trilogy Technomage Trilogy Some of them contain spoilers for later seasons, though. There are some other good ones, too, that I can't remember the names of and haven't read. There are also some "bad" ones...

No, his name's not give in The Shadow Within, nor is it given in the technomage trilogy, though he's in both. I don't know about the psi corps trilogy, since I never finished it, but I doubt it would give his name.
