Progressing nicely into The Alienist (page 340 of 497), I'm now at the crux of the story - the killer has properly been identified (by name and background) and they've caught a rather fleeting glimpse of him at a murder scene (I know he's the killer, because his name is referenced in the jacket of the 2nd book - The Angel of Darkness).
Anyhow, I probably won't be reading the sequel, not because this isn't a good book, but it simply isn't _that_ fresh - historical-perspective-of-New-York nonwithstanding. He's a good author, for sure, and his tirades are much shorter than Umberto Eco's, but he lacks _something_, which I just can't pin down as of yet.
I'll probably take another book with me on my flight Friday, as I'm likely to finish this one shortly into the trip.

Posted by: Warham on January 26, 2004 01:43 PMOkay, I just told you what Apple wants you to look out for with window positions, but in the real world, not everyone uses the hiding feature of the Dock, and it is unrealistic to be able to predict where each user will place their Dock at any given day or how large they will have it. However, you can build a feature into your application that allows spacing for the Finder. You can give users the option of where to position their windows and what area of the screen not to cross. I know that BBEdit provides me with this feature, and I wish more developers gave me more control over my windows.
