No wonder am always broke!!!!

Place to discuss anything, almost. No politics, religion, Microsoft, or anything else that I (the nazi censor) deem inappropriate.

:shock: Am waiting for three more books from Amazon and what did I just do? :shock: I went and bought another book from Barnes and Nobles "RH Admin a Beginner's guide" and its actually really good..

I dont have any more space in my library for my books. They are all over the floor. :shock:

The good thing is that am cheap as hell with girls well untill I meet one thats is worth the extra spending. :twisted:

Buy/build lotsa shelves (and get extras, you'll need them).

Any that are worth the extra spending don't require extra spending (sort of like Linux). The ones that require extra spending aren't worth the extra spending (sort of like Microsoft).

There is nothing wrong with books (from a self confessed bibliomaniac granted), but my advice - The ones that really payback are the reference texts.

You know those that just list information. They give you the commands, their descriptions give you the references to Google. Maybe you'd be better off printing out the man and info pages, or something. After all most of those books are just putting this into a more user friendly form.

I have hundreds of books, but I found I quit using them since the invention of Google. Every one that I have bought since that invention has been opened once or twice. Once you get good at forming good queries it's just too easy to get the information you need quickly rather than manually searching through books.

I think I'm just making a jerk out of myself by saying this, but doesn't building/getting extra shelves motivate you into buying more books to fill them up? :)

I shouldn't be talking though, I seem to suffer from the same symptomps as most of you... heh.
