Likewise - I was sure there was a sequel, but I can't remember the name, or find any reference to it.

Indeed. Niven and Pournelle are both alive and active, so one may hope.

On a serious note, we had several 'real' helping actions in the past (like donating money to some fellow CPian who were in trouble).

Always write specifications...

I have some code that I have outsourced to a contractor in my project. I wrote a requirement specification for that part of the code, which took me about one day, and that weird look from colleagues & boss because "Oh come on, this is someone we have been working with for ages, you are loosing your time, he knows what he does".
I got several deliveries in which features were missing or not correctly implemented, and the contractor fixed them on my request.
And yesterday, he eventually sent invoices for the fixes ??
So I sent him back the specification we had agreed upon, and got an embarrassed phone call this morning that went "mmmh yes mmmhh sorry about the specification thing mmmmh of course the costs go all on us mmmhh".

So me writing that spec on that day just saved us several k€... No more weird looks *revenge grin* Cool | :cool:
