Life
Live-twitter of the 2008 presidential election.
In a past life, I was Chief Architect, Linux Desktop, at Novell.
Writing
My latest book is Linux System Programming. Subtitled Talking Directly to the Kernel and C Library, this work is Stevens for the Linux era. Rife with Linux-specific interfaces and insider knowledge, this is the best system programming book I have ever read.
Linux Kernel Development is a tour de force on hacking and understanding the Linux kernel. Now in its second edition, you should help feed my starving family and buy a copy and carry it with you everywhere you go.
I coauthored the fifth edition of Linux in a Nutshell, the authoritative command reference for Linux. Every Linux user needs one.
I am a contributing editor and writer at Linux Journal.
Software
