Tor Books has made the first chapter of the latest Wheel of Time book available to readers for free via their website. This is the first book to have work from Robert Jordan’s replacement, Brandon Sanderson, since Jordan died in September of 2007. The Gathering Storm is complete and will be released on October 27th of this year. In addition, the prologue to this book will be available in e-book format on September 17th for $2.99. The whole of the Wheel of Time series will also be released as e-books with several of the books receiving new cover art as well.
Sang Shin’s online Java courses are very informative and are well paced. I highly recommend attending the free online courses even if you think you know all there is to know about Java.
The next and the 16th session will start on Sep. 1st, 2009. From this session, this course covers basic topics while “Java EE programming Advanced (with Passion!)” course covers more advanced topics. Just like other online courses I teach, this course is offered online only. For those of you who are not sure what it’s like to take this course online, please see What it’s like to take Sang Shin’s online courses. Just to set the expectation correctly, there is no real-time webcasting.
Did I mention the course is FREE? If you ever wanted to learn Enterprise Java, now is the time to sign up!
A long time ago when I used iTunes on my WinXP laptop I was able to subscribe to the Too Jewish with Rabbi Sam Cohon & Friends podcast through the iTunes Store. Since my main desktop runs Ubuntu Linux 9.04 and the RhythmBox Music Player is unable to retrieve podcast from the iTunes Store, I was at a loss as to how to listen to the podcast.
I sent numerous emails to the webmasters at toojewishradio@yahoo.com requesting a RSS feed of the podcast to no avail. So… I wrote a small Perl application to create two RSS feeds:
Please note that I’m only generating and hosting the RSS feeds and NOT the podcast files. The podcast is a product of Temple Emanu-El.
Update: The source code is available at Source code for scraping the website of Too Jewish Radio program to create two RSS feeds (audio podcast)
