Ok, I might be among the very last bloggers subscribing to the del.icio.us social bookmarks manager.. but now I did, the link is down there in the right hand column now.

Among today's links:


Silvan's del.icio.us blogmark plugin would be nice now, of course..

O'Reilly supplies

2 Minutes ago, my hacking was interrupted by a guy ringing the doorbell as if his life depended on reaching me. I went down to open and *TADAA!*, it was a nice surpise indeed: A DHL guy delivering my review copy of "Hackers and Painters" by Paul Graham!
First impression: Seems well done, O'Reilly quality. The tagline "This book will force you to rethink your ideas about the nature of computer programming" sounds a bit too pompous.. but never mind :) Will start reading ASAP.
