10:38 pm - A really excellent essay
In the Beginning was the Command Line is an excellent essay that I tend to encourage all of my friends to read. In fact, I tend to read bits of it out loud to them.
It is not completely true, and parts of it are dated. But it combines humor, metaphor and careful explanations in a way that's very informative and entertaining at the same time.
It is available in book form from Amazon.

*laugh* That was a line I liked too. And it was (and still sort of is) so accurate. :-)
If you drop by Europe, you'll have to visit, by the way! I provide crashing space...
I should someday. :-) I have professional reasons to, and I've always meant to visit anyway.
That line is still cracking me up.
