A number of writers expressed their wishes to be a co-author of the forthcoming SF novel Googol Dump. I have selected Dun Bugmons for his name sounding like Dún Laoghaire where I live nearby by walking distance in Monkstown and his surname accidentally reminding me of Bug Monitors. Please join me in congratulating Dun Bugmons!

While working on WinDbg command cards and even before that when compiling a comparison table for both WinDbg and GDB I came to an idea of abstract debugging commands that correspond to common debugging tasks, have clear syntax and semantics and serve metaphorically as a basis for conversion of analog thinking to digital debugger assistance (see analog-to-digital conversion for ADC abbreviation). Here a WinDbg extension can help but now I think about using a tree-based approach similar to CMDTREE.TXT for CDA Checklist. More on this later. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Suddenly the course of my publishing activities bended a little to produce a DIY poster and learning cards to be published soon. Here are the product details:
Annotation:
WinDbg is a powerful debugger from Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows. It has more than 350 commands that can be used in different debugging scenarios. The cover of this book is a poster featuring crash dump analysis checklist and common patterns seen in memory dumps and live debugging sessions. Inside the book you can find ready to cut learning cards with commands and their descriptions coloured according to their use for crash dump or live debugging sessions and user, kernel or complete memory dumps. Tossing cards can create unexpected connections between commands and help to learn them more quickly. Uncut pages can also serve as birds eye view to WinDbg debugging capabilities. More than 350 WinDbg commands including meta-commands and extensions are included.
Front cover:
Back cover:
After you take inside pages out you are left with a cover that you can use as a crash dump analysis checklist and patterns poster:
I also plan to update this book on a yearly basis.
