News You Can Bruise for 2006 November 30

Well, my performance in this year's Nethack tournament was pretty lousy, mainly because it wasn't until around Tuesday that I thought "Hm, what would be fun to do in spare moments right around now? Oh yeah, Nethack." I did have one good character but killed her off stupidly.

Almost all of REST Web Services so far is rewritten and in Docbook. I planned to get the whole thing done by the end of the month, but that's just another goal I didn't meet: still have half a chapter to redo. I'm very happy with the first 5 chapters so far, though. Total length in O'Reilly's stylesheet is 200 pages. Again, email me if you want to read the REST book as I write it.
