Lately I have been trying out several Linux Live CD's, Knoppix, PCLinuxOS, and Ubuntu, with the idea of making my PC dual boot either WinXP SP2 or Linux. I've finally replaced Netscape with Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and Mozilla Thunderbird as my default mail and news reader. And I've been thinking about picking up the guitar again.

Occasionally I receive emails from programmers in India with COBOL questions, which is very gratifying to me. I hope the comments I provide to other working programmers are helpful.

For original work, I recommend my page on "COBOL Runtime Efficiency", which includes links to some additional performance anecdotes (including Leif Svalgaard's excellent article on Sorting Algorithms). The Programming Resources page has been updated to include links to "www.opencobol.org" and the "Hybride XE Editor" (an SPF clone) for PC. There is also a sample COBOL program for converting IBM OS/VS COBOL source code to IBM VS/COBOL II source code.

You can read about distributed denial of service attacks at the Gibson Research Corporation website. I recommend this site to anyone with concerns about Internet privacy and security.
