   Not related to this post, found this on ebay. Don’t think you need it?

   From what I’ve read here I don’t think it’s *attracting* them that causes Shaky so many problems…

   Maybe the book needs a sequel

   That book should be called: “how to open a can of worms”

   Anyway, back to Cryptonomicon: it’s an excellent book about geeks. There are some fantastic comments about the Philipines in there.

   The next one “Quicksilver” is also good, although it’s set a few hundred years before Cryptonomicon. See: http://www.nealstephenson.com/, which has unfortunately been afflicted with the ‘moronic web-design’ virus.

   Yes, it’s a great book (Cryptonomicon - not the other one). I went out and bought it after seeing Shaky’s recommendation and haven’t bought a newspaper on my way to work since.
