Hmm. "Research causes cancer in mice", is the sort of association I would get
from that ;-)

Well, first off: O'Reilly still isn't interested. Or I'm just very bad at
writing elevator-pitch-length proposals. It doesn't fit in their product line
they just told me. 

I've always wanted to write a book, but never have seen a project that
would be worth the effort. The closest I came to starting a book was
with Jini, but all the publishers were interested in was re-writes of
the documentation by Sun. Nothing, err, 'esoteric'. A Squeak book might
be a worthwhile thing to pursue...
