                The Book of the Tales of Caunterbury: Redux

                “Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed”
                “One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated”

                Sir Thomas More (1478 – 1535)

                  More Amber books a la Roger Zelazny. Unfortunately he's dead.

                  If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                  You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                  Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

                    I'm awaiting the soft-cover release of the next "Pendergast" [^] novel by Preston & Child. I read way too much buy hard cover.

                      Ah yes! The "waiting" motif ... I'm waiting for the publishment (sp) of a users manual for the operation of my DAP caulk gun.

                          I don’t think there is a software developer who doesn’t know what is “O'Reilly”. I just don’t like most of their "books". Or should I say “technical references”.
