Alug Book emporuim
by David Freeman 09 Jul '01

09 Jul '01

All, I have just spoken to pearson Education who are offering a discount on there books to ALUG members, we just have to put a link on the web page to there site which if we use gives us the discount. Pearson are offering Prentice hall books which are the publishers of books by Andrew Tanenbaum. Andrews books are some of the best technical ones out there, his book on OS's helped Linus no end when he was writting linux originally. Also his book "Computer Networks" 3rd edition is very good and recommended reading for all members. Whilst on the subject of books, I was thinking of taking Jens page on Lniux books and building it into a larger page with details of the ALUG discounts and also the recommended reading list.

Well spotted that man!!! Yeah, it does appear to be a theme throughout the "IT Industry" methinks. I don't think I've ever met any IT bods that have a quite time at work... okay except Neill!!! *duck* Yeah, all the shelving I've bought is full to the brim now. Time for a bigger house. But Tux has a reserved place on top of my monitor - it's nice and warm there! No, no, you've got it wrong, it's like this now: <aoltimewarner>me too</aoltimewarner> *grin* Bing David Freeman <david_freeman(a)rocketmail.com> on 09/07/2001 05:24:36 To: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk cc: (bcc: Andrew Chandler/PSD/LONDON/FTI) Subject: Re: [Alug] amigo --- Andrew Chandler <Andrew.Chandler(a)ft.com> wrote: > Indeed... his other books are in my queue of books to read... > ..unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time to read any books until > next > century at this rate!!

Knitted tux

Sian Banana did make me a little fimo-modelling clay one to sit on my box at home, as well. I could do a spare for the raffle. (In all the spare time I have in common with all the other folks on this list!)

Assuming I can get Alan to drive us over.... Where is Martlesham anyway? Jen: 5th, 12th, 19th Just consulted an atlas - martlesham is just the other side of ipswich from Cambridge.
