I asked O'Reilly if we could have Fred Leise... http://www.contextualanalysis.com/biography.php ...do the index, since he did a great job on the 2nd edition of our information architecture book, but apparently they're using some software product that makes it hard to plug in freelance indexers. For my own purposes, I rely on Safari's search... http://safari.oreilly.com/0596007655 ...which lets me find on which pages specific words occur. Cheers! I agree too!

Steve: I love indexes. They always seem like found poetry to me. Although I have to say, the index in <i>Ambient Findability</i> is terrible. I wrote to index@oreilly, though, and they wrote back agreeing with me. Gotta love that irony. Anne: ditto to what Steve said.

Can I just say how much I hate crap like that? I hate crap like that.

How else would I have known that my library's mandated websense filter would block access? Thanks for the heads up about the Library Society of the World chatroom.
