I've just finished an Xmas present book The time machine did it by John Swartzwelder, writer of 59 Simpson episodes (I'm sure its more :o) ). Its not a huge book but I don't think turned a page without laughing. If you are a Simpsons/Futurama fan (which I know some of you are) then you'll love it. If you are or aren't a fan you are still probably better off reading this book as if it was a cartoon/animation instead of live-action film just cause of the style of the jokes.

From the book: "Now I'm not the most observant of men, which is unfortunate because I'm a private eye. I'm supposed to notice things. It's my job"

Reinvigorate registration for the beta test is now open at of 9pm GMT.

From the site: "Once registration closes and random participants have been selected an e-mail will be sent out to the lucky few detailing instructions on when/how to begin tracking their stats. (mt) Media Temple members have all been guaranteed a preselected spot in the closed beta test. We ask these members to hold off registering while we generate your registration codes. "

If you don't/didn't know Reinvigorate is a free site counter tool with free in-depth stats.

I've been doing CF for a while now, but there is one book which stays by side through development, ColdFusion 5 Language Reference by Ben Forta. Though it doesn't get much use now having it there has saved me loads of time, and its as i reached for it today i thought about how indispensable it is. Its just the ultimate quick reference too look up a tag or a function attribute, plus it's small enough to take anywhere with me. I'm hoping one day Ben can find time to update the book for CFMX. The other one i try and keep near me is Advanced ColdFusion MX Application Development , which always handing when doing other bits and peices.

So what book, whether used a lot or not, do you like having by your side?
