totally great! full of insights, but not for novice programmers. i knew the 4th edition published in 2001 was too out-of-dated in this ajax age, so it didn’t attract me a little bit. but i heard the 5th published in this August, 2006, and its reviews were great. so i decide to buy it.
i give 5 stars to this lovely book!

Great job, it’s just unbelievable that it was published in ’60s. it gives so much impressions and insprirations to me! Sam Haskins is one of the best photographers in the world! this book is recently (maybe october) republished, and used book’s price was too high. only a few book of him is available now. the most book i want is "5 girls", but don’t know how long i have to wait.
I bought this book on amazon.co.jp, it was under $30 and no delivery fee! thanx, amazon.co.jp!
this book is some kind of Xmas present for me. and a champagne, moet-et-chandon nectar imperial. merry christmas to me!

with a help from this book, i managed to get some insights about security. cool!
there are two innovative book series in programming world. one is cookbook, the oher is effective programming. all the books in these series are worth to read. other series are so-so. some are helpful, but some are not..
i got four books in this series, effective java, effective perl, effective c++, more effective c++. all are cool! especially, i recommend effective perl and more effective c++.
probably the highest virtue in programming is DRY, Don’t Repeat Yourself. these two series are designed for that purpose. but now a day, new technique are developed so fast. so these books can’t catch the trend. so, we have nothing but to DRY. the best case to escape this situation is a CPAN in perl community. i expect it from other programming side.

lomo photobook, actually i don’t like lomo, lomo is totally misconceived, if i need some snap, why i have to use lomo instead of some handy and easy-to-use digital cameras? and if i need some refined pictures, it would be better use rf. anyway this photobook is great! because they selected good pics from thousands of pics, all over the world. people use lomo are fun, lomo itself isn’t not so fun.
it had not been abailable for some years, but you can order it now.

sometimes life is merely a matter of coffee and whatever intimacy a cup of coffee affords.
때때로 삶이란 단지 커피와 한잔의 커피가 주는 친밀함의 문제에 지나지 않는다.
時々人生は只コーヒーと一杯のコーヒーがくれる親密さの問題にすぎない。
from "coffee", a short story of richard brautigan

예전에 원서로 bananafish를 위한 완벽한 날을 읽다가 때려친 적이 있다. 만화로도 유명한데다, 샐린저의 호밀밭의 파수꾼을 좋아해서 원서를 샀던 것인데.. 막상 읽어보니 정신없는 여자의 수다 + 로리콘 등장 + 바나나피시 이야기를 하고는 왠일인지 자살하는 스토리라 좀 황당했다. 정신병자라고하면 정신병자라고 할수 있겠지만, 이게 마약중독자랑 무슨 상관이 있는 건지모르겠다.. 이번에 발매된 번역본을 읽어보니 역시나 원서랑 차이가 없었다. 원래 그런 내용이였구나.. 뭐.. 암튼 9개의 단편 전부 괜찮았다. 좀더 일찍 발매되었으면 좋았으련만..
ordered books are arrived today, this book’s writer is so famous gerald weinberg and i’ve just finished reading.. i like the sarcastic expressions gerald uses.
problems lies between what you wish and what you recognize. i think so, too
제랄드 와인버그의 책이라 아무 생각없이 주문했는데, 양은 좀 부족하지만 내용은 재밌다. ^_^
현실상황에 있어서 문제해결의 가장 큰 난점은 아무리 좋은 해결책이 있어도
문제를 문제라고 인식시키기 전엔 적용조차 할 수 없다는 것이다.
특히 문제 해결의 책임자가 문제의 원인일때 설득은 난해해 질 수 밖에 없다.
여기서 와인버그의 충고가 도움이 된다.. 유머감각이 없는 사람의 문제를 해결하려고 하지말라.
제랄드 와인버그의 책은 주제나 테마와는 상관없이 늘 유쾌해서 좋다.
the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

it’s time to read books

전에도 이런 경험이 있었다. 펄로 뭔가 해보려고 책을 몇권 샀는데 샀을땐 전혀 써먹지 못하고 몇년이 지난 후 갑자기 펄 프로그래밍을 하게되었을 때 정말 유용하게(없었으면 큰일 날 정도로) 쓴적이 있다. 그 책의 이름은 펄 쿡북이다. (악명높은 카멜북도 샀는데 유쾌한 농담말고는 별 쓸모 없었다.)
나는 정말 무슨 생각을 하고 살고 있는 것일까나.. CD를 살때도 그렇지만, 어쨌든 가끔씩 만약 내가 내가 아니였다면 무척 곤란했을지도 모르겠다고 느끼는 것이다..
i bought it previously , and now i appreciate me.. i don’t remember the reason why i bought this book.. (this book is not so cheap..) it’s a mystery..
