# Bad luck with free staff

Trying to get "Understanding IPv6" and getting to some Visual Studio 2008 free book offer. Do not work BTW

Hmm...that's weird.  The links work fine for me.  Could you try and get me a screenshot if it continues to happen?  I have no clue why that was...

# Observer effect

Looks like "Observer effect", but started the procedure from other computer to use Snipper for screenshoting - and got the book now.

Thanks for pushing for new try.

Thanks for the information! I've been so busy since Wednesday (and since that mail went out) I didn't even have a chance to check up on it!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
