Boy, I really love Unix command line. The whole concept of it is so powerful yet so simple. Each time I need to do something I choose shell to make it work. EVERY TIME.

I really miss Monkey Radio (https://web.archive.org/web/20080222143759/http://www.monkeyradio.org/).
Is there anything like this anymore?
It was somewhere around 2005 when I listened to it for the first time. I was using beloved Real Player to stream it.
I’ve learned about so many great artists over that time. I still listen to them almost every day. I guess this radio has shaped my music taste. I’m very gratful for that.
I wish someday someone would bring it back to life in one form or another.
Just finished “The Making of Prince of Persia” and unfortunately must say that the book/journal is unnecessarily too long. The first part (about Prince 1) was cool and insightful, but the rest was pretty much about nothing really interesting…
Found a very interesting album yesterday:
LUM — Homo Infinitus
I feel inspired reading books about “old times” in the programming world. It’s so refreshing to have a chance to take a look behind the scenes of such legendary creations as UNIX, Doom, Quake or Prince of Persia.
Here are the books I’m talking about:
- “UNIX: A History and a Memoir” by Brian W. Kernighan
- “The Making of Prince of Persia: Journals 1985-1993” by Jordan Mechner
- “Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture” by David Kushner
