Leaky Abstractions
Joel Spolsky is that rarity, a software developer who writes with great clarity about the nuts and bolts of his work. A good example is his new essay on "Leaky Abstractions" -- which begins with a plain-English explanation of TCP/IP and ends with a discussion of why the developer's job is so much harder today, despite the proliferation of "labor-saving" tools. A great read.

More PIMs
Diego Doval, whose Plan B blognovel has been rolling out here in Salon blogland, has unveiled the alpha version of a new personal-information manager he calls Spaces. I have not had time to check it out myself but it looks cool. [Link courtesy Metafilter.]
