In-Reply-To: <200711201739.42753.george@metaart.org> Message-ID: <069DF3F895842F4AB31E2FA2EA30EE5D772545@airnetsbs.airnetsbs.airnet.local> Hi all, Yes, I am still alive, just working a lot and not much else. As for the HBPM group, I started rebuilding a site that would have a little more detail with the intention of putting snippits etc on it, however my place got broken into and the server that it was on got stolen. More generally, I've been trying to get people locally interested in the group (even put our flyers a while back) but the general tech community around here doesn't seem to be interested in much more than ASP.NET. I'll try and get details through to support this week and get things back up and running, but I doubt the membership is likely to expand much any time soon. Now, back on topic... Books... On my desk I have a few that are handy references, but I'd have to say that my favourite for its little tips and tricks would be 'Perl for System Administration' by David N Blank-Edelman. I don't get to make much use of it these days but when there is a little free time to be had I liked flicking through and getting ideas to tidy things up a bit. Now, back to work. =/ Regards, Daniel -----Original Message----- From: hawkesbay-bounces+daniel=team.airnet.net.nz at pm.org [mailto:hawkesbay-bounces+daniel=team.airnet.net.nz at pm.org] On Behalf Of George Woolley Sent: Wednesday, 21 November 2007 2:40 p.m. To: hawkesbay at pm.org Subject: [hbpm] best books? hi all, what's your favorite technical-related book or books? - george p.s. i'll answer the question myself later. _______________________________________________ Hawkesbay mailing list Hawkesbay at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/hawkesbay From george at metaart.org Mon Dec 10 19:03:16 2007 From: george at metaart.org (George Woolley) Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:03:16 -0800 Subject: [hbpm] best books? Message-ID: <200712101903.16807.george@metaart.org> hi daniel, glad you're still alive - and working too! i look forward to being able to see the hawkesbay.pm home page again. thanks for answering my question. kool: 'perl for system administration'. my favorites are 'mastering regular expressions' [o'reilly] and 'beautiful web design' [sitepoint]. anyone else? skoal, george p.s. i guess another favorite is 'cascading style sheets: designing for the web' [addison-wesley]. though it was published in 1997, i still often consult it. ---------------------------------------- On Sunday 09 December 2007 11:57, Daniel Hopkirk - Airnet NZ wrote: > Hi all, > > Yes, I am still alive, just working a lot and not much else. > > As for the HBPM group, I started rebuilding a site that would have a > little more detail with the intention of putting snippits etc on it, > however my place got broken into and the server that it was on got > stolen.
