Linux Today pages are 99% Ads

May 1, 2008

Has anyone noticed lately how the LinuxToday.com pages are simply covered with ads? It's practically unbearable:

Maybe 1% of this screen shot (the part I drew a red circle around) is part of the actual news article I went there to read. The rest of the page, the ads, is useless crap. For a site that doesn't even write most of it's own content, it's insulting.

I guess it's time install an ad blocker.

Book Recommendation:

Programming Ruby is the defacto-standard for learning to program in Ruby. If someone tells you to pick up a copy of “the pickaxe book”, this is the one they mean. This book goes through the entire Ruby language, step-by-step, teaching you each basic concept. This is the second edition, which is expanded to include over 200 pages of new content, covering all the improved language features of Ruby 1.8 and standard library modules. The Pickaxe contains four major sections: an acclaimed tutorial on using Ruby, the definitive reference to the language, complete documentation on all built-in classes, modules, and methods, and complete descriptions of all 98 standard libraries. Needless to say, it’s very thorough. This book is great for beginners but also makes an excellent reference for the pros.
