Final Chapter: Thus Ends...

The reason why gdb would not work on Ubuntu: a deliberate policy by the OS developers. Cheers, guys. At least the stack overflow(s) make finding why easier.

There is a lot of good looking "web stuff" around. 

Sublime Text 2 is good in part because of packages (installation, usage). Also as it works in Linux, Windows, and OSX.

Nostalgic returns to operating systems of the past require the opening of disk images as floppy drives are in the past (as indeed, the disks...). A RISCOS disk module to make disk images appear as mountable disks exists, and is useful in ARCEM.

Once again, I content myself to computing on OSX and Windows, leaving Linux again except on the Raspberry PI. The usability issues are never addressed adequately. Its an open question if the pain points of the past are addressed before it becomes irrelevant e.g. CD/DVD burning may finally work well, but do I care any longer? Some old and fun rants on Linux usability (or the lack thereof).

The Nature of Code is a fascinating book. 

IDE testing is not so often blogged about.

Word games are popular, but need dictionaries! Here is a game with swedish and english dictionaries in Sqllite DB files. (May be a good game, don't know!)

Enjoy the Silence

Folklore about computers. Guess they've been around long enough.

OSX continues to surprise with little command line tools that wrap the features of the underlying frameworks e.g. sips - scriptable image processing system. Useful in combination with pdftk.
