Generation Java

tips

From September 2001 to September 2002 I wrote the Java email tips for CNet's Builder.com. After a year I ran out of ideas, but the back log of tips I'd built up saw me still publishing tips beyond the end of 2002. The tips are not available online, although an example is and I maintain a page of [crytpically url'd] links to the discussions on some of the tips [since the discussion feature was added basically]. There are also a few non-builder tips.
