Somebody likes O’Reilly!
Fact 1: Those books aren’t mine. I found that photo on Flickr; it just seemed pleasantly geeky without being insulting.
Fact 2: I think at least some of them are in French. I am of course a multi-talented individual, but I don’t read French well.
Fact 3: A quick count shows that I have at least nine O’Reilly books, plus a bunch more on web design, web usability, web standards, and the like. I need to update my LibraryThing list and get a widget somewhere on this site.
Fact 4: I really, really need some bookshelves.
Darn. I was going to ask how you liked the “Programming Ruby” book.
There is no such thing as sufficient bookshelves. I’m thinking about bringing some O’Reilly and other technical books to Geek Night to attempt to give them away.
