What I am reading: August 2005

http://richieb-is-reading.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

What I am reading. Monday, August 29, 2005. Is a collection of stories and essays by the argentinian write Jorge Luis Borges. I read this book for my local SF discussion group. Borges' stories are not quite science fiction, but they are not quite straight fiction either. I had read this book one before, years ago, and it was interesting to see which stories I remembered. The main two that impressed me last time were "The Library of Babel" and "Funes the Memorious". The two stories are strikingly similar.

What I am reading. Thursday, February 23, 2006. Science Fiction - "Dying Inside". This book, written by Robert Silverberg, was the February selection for my local SF book discussion group. The book is a sort of a diary of a man named David Selig, who was born with telepathic powers to read other people's minds, and now, as he is reaching middle age, this power is dying. Couple of chapters are just the ghosted papers Selig wrote - for example, there is one paper comparing " The Trial". And " The Castle.

Is an O'Reilly book on Jython. Python. Is a scripting language that's been around for a while. Python came into being little later than Perl, but from a programming language design point of view is a much cleaner language.

What I am reading. Saturday, January 28, 2006. Technical - "Programing in Ruby". This is another book from The Pragmatic Programmer. Publishers. This is a pretty thick book, which includes an introduction to Ruby as well as a long library reference. I've read some of the introductory chapters, but I use it mostly for reference while hacking some Ruby code. One early program I wrote was to help my friend Jack download a bunch of MP3 files that were refernced by a specific web page. Here is the code:.

What I am reading. Thursday, September 15, 2005. Technical - "Agile Web Development with Rails". I'm always on the lookout for new tools and programming languages to play with. My latest fun language is Ruby. Ruby is an interpretted, object oriented scripting language that seems to combine features of Python, Smalltalk and Eiffel. I will probably post more about this book as I get further into it. Posted by richieb @ 7:35 PM. Science Fiction - "Software" by Rudy Rucker. But his robots, who have rebelled ...

What I am reading. Monday, March 28, 2005. This book's author is Richard Dawkins. The book is rather long, nearly 700 pages so I'm working my way through it slowly (it was a Christmas present). The subtitle for The Ancestor's Tale. Is A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution. And it is a collection of "tales" about human evolutionary ancestors. The structure of the book is loosely based on Chaucer's Cantenbury Tales. I liked the explanation of the method that evolutionary biologists use is to evaluate how t...

What I am reading. Monday, October 31, 2005. Science Fiction - "Ender's Shadow". This book is a co-sequel to the well known " Ender's Game. By Orson Scott Card. It's a "co-sequel", because it tells the same story as " Ender's Game. But through the eyes of another character - Bean. At the start of the book Bean is a tiny street rat barely surviving on the streets of Rotterdam. However, he appears to be extremely smart - he learns to read by age 3. Several times by now. However, I must say that " Ender's S...

What I am reading. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Non-fiction - "The World is flat" (part II). I was going to write a deeply analytical essay on "The World is Flat", when I finished reading it. But then I got distracted by other books. So instead, here is a short summary of the second part of the book. The second part of the book contains Friedman's advice to various global actors, as to how to deal with globalization. On geopolitics. There are places in the world (i.e. Africa) where the largest p...In Middle...

Mr Bridges – History Man. If you have a problem. If nobody else can help. And if you can find him. Maybe you can hire. Mr Bridges – History Man! January 13, 2010. Good evening (or morning if you are reading this tomorrow). What thoughts do you think would have been going through the minds of Churchill and Stalin at this time. Was Britain in a position, either militarily or economically, to mount any form of offensive at that moment? How relevant is the British experience to the study of WW2 anyway? I wan...
