Busman's Holiday? What
does a columnist do in his free time, but write another
column!
About the Busman's
Holiday Series
By
Steve
Wood
The Busman's Holiday series is an
outgrowth of a regular weekly column I did for the MacTimes
News Network, "That
other Steve..." from August,
1998 to January, 1999. During a period when MacTimes was
having some agonizing growing pains, I took a self-imposed
leave-of-absence, and began the Busman's Holiday series as
an independent column. It gave me a forum to post things
that were just plain fun and allowed me to vent some ideas
that weren't appropriate for MacTimes.
When I returned to MTN after the
problems had eased, I decided to continue making an
occasional independent posting and found them well-received
by the general Macintosh audience. I moved on from MacTimes,
due to an increasing case load at school and more growing
pains at MTN. While I now primarily write for the Low-End
Mac site and others, the Busman's Holiday series still
serves as a recognizable, outlet for independent postings I
occasionally make.
One of the recurring subjects of
many of my columns are the Macs I work with at school--some
in my classroom and some in other's classrooms. I continue
maintaining pages on each of several different Macs. The
long-running independent posting of the SE Saga continues to
be one of the most read columns on my site. There are also
pages on a Mac IIfx, a PowerMac 7500, and
others.
I hope you enjoy reading the
Busman's Holiday series. I obviously don't get paid for
doing it, although I continue to get an occasional offer to
add or switch to this or that Mac web site. I do it because
I enjoy it. There are no annoying banner ads. If there is a
gross error, I can go to the server and correct it
immediately. I appreciate and try to answer all reader
comments. I usually learn far more from reader responses to
each posting than I've imparted to the readers in the
original posting.
