Friend writes another book
Sil has written another book. I don't know how he finds the time. This one was written with Tony Steidler-Dennison and is called Run Your Own Web Server Using Linux & Apache. Not something I'm planning to do soon, but if you are, you know what to do.

Aurlog back
Aurlog has undergone a move to a new server, hence the sparser than normal posts over the last few weeks, the momentary disappearance of comments, and the random selection of old posts sent to rss readers last week. Normal sparkling service is now resumed!
