What happened to my shelf of animals?
O'Reilly has a promotion allowing you buy the online copy of any (?) print book that you own for $4.95. When I looked at my bookcase what I saw amazed me. All but two of the books I cared to have online where not O'Reilly books. Most of the books that have value to me now are from Addison Wesley, Manning, and Apress. I don't know why this is but evidence says O'Reilly books are less important than in the past -- when almost all my books had animals on the cover.

Calliope Sounds is Andrew Gilmartin's blog.
I will mostly post about user interfaces and software development tools and software engineering process and family and South Kingstown, RI and almost certainly nothing about my current or past feelings. You will have to read between the postings for that information ... or ask me directly.
