Not much linkage or pictures from me this week. I've been working on an application (a new game!) and most of my time and brains have been lost in the muddle. I wanted to break out for a moment and whine about books, notably programming books.

From now on I'm not buying programming books thicker than 1 3/4 inch, or greater than 800 pages (maybe I should set a pound limit as well). There seems to be a new school of technical book publishing where more is better...1500 pages, must be a masterpiece! I have a 1200 page book which broke it's own binding the first time I opened it on a desk, which means it *really* wants me to always read that section, all other sections require two hands. It's not like the author is providing more insight or knowledge, it's typically a case of no one editing the excess verbage. Hey, I like to read books while soaking in the tub...lighten up!
