This blog usually gets about 7 visits a day, mostly from robots, or the occasional Internet Wanderer who accidentally falls into my domain. However, On Dec 1, I posted a few pictures of my bookshelves buckling under the weight of my O’Reilly books, and Tim O’Reilly himself posted an “LOL” retweet with a link to this site. As you can see from my Sitemeter stats, I came into Internet Existence for a brief moment.
I can only wonder what it’s like to sway the minds and hearts of a legion of followers. So I’m thinking, if Tim O’Reilly can get me 500 hits, what would a real celebrity get me? Hey Ashton Kutcher, I’m talking about you AplusK.
From 0 to 500 and Back
Happy hacking…
At least part of it. If Tim actually has a plane. What I’m trying to say is that I’m a big consumer of those old-fashioned things called books. I love them. Here are pictures of my current collection of programming and computer science books. I also have an extensive collection of literature—fiction and poetry. Hey, that’s how I roll.
I still have my first O’Reilly book, Unix Power Tools. I keep most books for 2 to 3 years. Programming books have the life span of a mayfly. Relevant today, recycled tomorrow. Long live O’Reilly books.
Bookshelf 1 (Many PHP and Rails books)
Bookshelf 2 (That FreeBSD book was awesome)
Bookshelf 3 (Lots of Python books)

Happy hacking…and reading
