UF is proud to announce that we are joining forces with Register4less.com, a geek-run, geek-owned domain provider!

I've used Register4less myself for over two years now, and I have not a single complaint. In fact, I like these guys so much that I freely and most highly recommend them to everyone.

Aside from being a cool bunch who know how to take care of their customers, who don't treat you like an amoeba because you haven't spent in excess of thirty grand with them, who actually answer the phone when you call, and who clearly have a clue about their business, they also don't consider the possession of your personal info a license to profoundly violate you. AND they can say the word "ethical" without bursting into flames.

Oh, and they're UF fans. How bad is that?

UFies get special deals from them from time to time, and every domain and service you buy from them helps UF!

Go visit them! You'll be helping fellow geeks, UF and yourself at the same time!

BOOK 'EM DANO! It's here! It's out! It's in three dialects of German! The first UserFriendly German edition or (User Friendly - Die Deutsche Dialekt-Ausgabe) book is out, and it's also our first non-English translation. Thanks to O'Reilly Verlag and the fine translation work of German-speaking UFies diGriz, lurker69 and Saminz! The next language: Sanskrit!

SPEAKING OF BOOKS: You can still buy the first four O'Reilly edition books! They are, in order of publication: User Friendly, Evil Geniuses in a Nutshell, The Root of All Evil and Even Grues Get Full. The first book published by Plan Nine Publishing User Friendly v1.0 is also available, and includes a few essays and all of the early strips that didn't make it into the O'Reilly books.

PAR-TAY WITH FIREFOX IN VANCOUVER: I'm signed up to join the festivities for the Firefox launch party in Vancouver at the Vancouver Mozileum on November 20th. If you're a local and want to tip a few beers in the name of some great development (or you just want to drink beer, this is Canada) sign up and join us! If you're not in Vancouver, there are a plethora of other parties around the world including, as you know by now, Antarctica!

APRIL, JUNE AND NOVEMBER: You can grab the November UF wallpaper right here. [PNG, 1280 x 1024] There are exactly two people who have asked for a version with Monday as the leftmost column, and I need a few more people asking than that to provide a second version. Let me know! Also, if there are no requests for different sizes, I'll stick to 1280 x 1024.
