The authors of Advanced Linux Programming “take a tutorial approach and teach the most important concepts and power features of the GNU/Linux system”. This book contains exactly what I need to fill the gaps in my understanding of the inner workings of Linux. The breadth of information is amazing. Even more amazing is the fact that the entire book is freely available for download in PDF format.

My Blog is not the Amazon.com Returns Department!
Last year I wrote a post about the Amazon.com website being down. In the post I wrote “http://www.amazon.com returns Http/1.1 Service Unavailable”.

Check the post and you’ll see half-a-dozen such people posting comments.
WordPress Annoyance: Publishing a Post Opens Edit Post Page
The latest version of WordPress (or at least this got changed in one of the newer versions) leaves the Edit Post screen open after publishing post.

Convert any Website into a PDF!
HTML to PDF Converter is a service that allows you to provide the URL of any website and promptly get a PDF version of the website in return. This is incredibly useful. I’ve always wanted a way to backup sites that contain really useful information for fear that they may disappear. It’s dangerous to always rely on a site being just a Google-search away.
How to be a Programmer
How to be a Programmer: A Short, Comprehensive, and Personal Summary is an excellent essay. I dare not call myself a real programmer, but I’m definitely an aspiring programmer. Essays like this one are miniature goldmines — decades of real human experience compacted and organized, ready for ingestion.
