My Unix is a little lopsided: I don't know much about security or administration, but I can edit the hell out of plain text files. I'm a programmer, not an admin, so that's what I spend my time doing. I learned Unix from this book, writing shell scripts and one-liners to automate my work. I recommend this book to anyone who intends to Actually Do Stuff on the Unix command line.

This was disappointing when I read it in 2004, and is surely even more so now.

I wanted a guide to the good and bad features of different blogging software, not a tutorial on blogging is and why one might want to engage in it. This book did not supply such a guide.

Not really useful as a reference, but good to flip through when you're bored. Nice odds and ends. You'll pick up a few things.

Nice overview of blogging, but not much new information. Most of books goes through blogging tools, but likely now out of date with current versions (true for at least for Movable Type), doesn't even mention Word Press
