Examples: What a bug-sistential problem we have to solve here! Pure bug-sistentialism!

a mad day - a day spent doing memory (dump) analysis and/or debugging
Examples: What a mad day! We had several blokes at a bobo address. Those events were rather sad.

“Memory dumps are facts.”
I’m very excited to announce that Volume 3 is available in paperback, hardcover and digital editions:
Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Volume 3
Table of Contents
In two weeks paperback edition should also appear on Amazon and other bookstores. Amazon hardcover edition is planned to be available in January 2010.
The amount of information was so voluminous that I had to split the originally planned volume into two. Volume 4 should appear by the middle of February together with Color Supplement for Volumes 1-4.
