I don’t even remember why I ordered it, really, but Amazon shipping me a copy of Dreaming In Code a couple days ago. I finished that book by Linus Torvalds quite a while ago, so I’m happy to have something new to read in between projects.
Also, somewhat in reference to the post title, I had some further inspiration for that SQL Backup program I was making. I still don’t think the project needs a custom solution, but if that’s what the person wants, that’s what they’ll get.
