It's late and I can't sleep so I'll bore you with the stuff I'm reading at the moment (or have on order):
* HTTP: The Definitive Guide. I've never, like, read the spec before, mmkay? Good stuff for a guy who's probably about to dive head first into web programming at work.
* The Pragmatic Programmer. Yeah, I'm probably the last guy to finally pick this up. Good, but would have been better if I had bought this book earlier in my career.
* PostgreSQL. In the mail. We're planning to use Postgres as the backend for a small web we're rewriting at work. Assuming all goes well, we plan to inform the big boss that wasting money on Oracle licenses for small to medium projects is unnecessary.
In other news, I've discovered there's no "trace" or "options" method in Ruby's net/http package. I'll have to ask about that.
