The Origin of Software Engineering Notebooks

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

The idea to have a reading notebook online came to me after I recalled that at school I heard that Lenin had Philosophical Notebooks. You can find them in Lenin Internet Library, volume 38 of his Collected Works. As a schoolboy, I was curious about Lenin’s notebooks and even borrowed them from the school library to see how they looked like inside. I wasn’t impressed though due to the lack of philosophical knowledge on my side but the idea stuck to my mind. At my school age I read his biography several times and my favourite episode was an assassination attempt by socialist revolutionary Fanny Kaplan.

Hot-Chopped MDAA Volumes

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Found today on Amazon that one seller sells cheap chopped copies of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology:

“The LOWEST PRICE because the spine binding & glue has been CHOPPED OFF; the binding is MISSING; this makes the loose pages suitable for photocopying or for hole punching to place into a 3-ring notebook. The pages have no marks or highlights. I also have Volume 2 with a cut spine for cheap.”

The seller has been contacted to stop this advertisement because the page number 2 in both volumes says:

You must not circulate this book in any other binding or cover and you must impose the same condition on any acquirer.

There is also the standard clause about reproduction and storage.
