Really!<br \/>\nNow, I actually found out years ago, that it doesn&#8217;t really matter to the kids, what you read, but that you like, what you read to them.<br \/>\nLast night I selected a book, which didn&#8217;t come into operation then, but with one day delay today it actually did so.<br \/>\nPls find the title attached! (This referred to, when this article was a Google Buzz and there was even a picture attached. I do love <i>Google Buzz<\/i>, but the number of followers is rather depressing, I actually prefer not to know, how many usually read my blogs. And last week&#8217;s Google presentation of the Buzz API at <a href=\"http:\/\/berlin.betahaus.de\/\"><i>Berlin.Betahaus.de<\/i><\/a> with finest catering and unlimited free drinks even encouraged me to love it more.)<br \/>\nNow you may understand, what I referred to by: &#8220;<i>it doesn&#8217;t really matter to the kids\u2026<\/i>&#8220;<br \/>\nYou may even think, I am a bad father. I seriously don&#8217;t agree.\u00a0Well, the useless social workers of the &#8220;<i>youth welfare office<\/i>&#8221; at Berlin might agree with you.\u00a0But then, I don&#8217;t care.<br \/>\nSon#2 literally slept within minutes, which is otherwise <b>never easy<\/b>\u00a0to achieve. (He can easily fought 2 hours against his sleepiness.)<br \/>\nNow this either has to do with the quality of the book, or simply with my son liking my voice.\u00a0Choose yourself!<br \/>\nSon#2 actually started sleeping deeply in the middle of the preface, but I insisted on completing the preface, of course w\/o even touching the <i>acknowledgements<\/i>. Sorry for that. Maybe I will browse them silently another day. I do find names interesting, and after 30 years in IT you do know a few ones.<\/p>\n<p>After that I decided to get the PDF for $5 from O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s, and I immediately went for it. That PDF is now on my disk.\u00a0I even think parts of this book will make good presentation material at future <i>Berlin Technical Perl Meetings<\/i>, well, maybe <i>Stuttgart Technical Perl Meetings<\/i>, if the <i>Berlin Perl Mongers<\/i> are lucky enough resp. not lucky enough. Decide yourself, which way it&#8217;s meant!<\/p>\n<p>This book looks like entertaining but educative literature, just the way I considered Larry Wall&#8217; classical <i>Camel Book<\/i> almost 20 years ago.
