***When Linux Runs Out of Memory  
Memory is a precious commodity in computers. Generally the more you 
have, the better. Yet your application has to run alongside other 
applications, and each wants its own area of memory. What happens when 
there's not enough to go around? Mulyadi Santosa explores the memory 
management principles in the Linux kernel to explain how the Out of 
Memory killer works--and how to avoid it.

***Distributing the Future: Latest Show: Finding Your Voice 
We have three pieces this week that hover around the theme of finding 
your voice. Google CEO Eric Schmidt talks to John Battelle about the 
corporate voice that Google has taken on. Moshe Cohen is a clown who 
performs using his voice but no words. In many of his missions, 
including Clowns Without Borders USA, he cheers people up but also 
leaves them with a deeper lesson. I've also remixed a piece by David 
Battino from the Digital Media Insider that looks at how much computer 
voices have improved. This is the last episode for 2006. (DTF 
11-27-2006: 25 minutes, 55 seconds)

                      * Access 2007: The Missing Manual 
        
        This fast-paced book teaches you the basics of Access 2007 so
        you can start using the program right away. You'll learn how to
        design databases, maintain them, search for valuable nuggets of
        information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data
        entry. The new Access is radically different from previous
        versions, but with this book, you'll breeze through the new
        interface and its timesaving features in no time.
        
              * Agile Web Development with Rails, Second Edition
                (Pragmatic Bookshelf)
        
        Rails is a full-stack, open-source web framework that enables
        you to create full-featured, sophisticated web-based
        applications with a twist...you can create a full Rails
        application using less code than the setup XML you'd need just
        to configure some other frameworks. With this book, you'll learn
        how to use Rails Active Record to connect business objects and
        database tables. No more painful object-relational mapping. Just
        create your business objects and let Rails do the rest. You'll
        learn how to use the Action Pack framework to route incoming
        requests and render pages using easy-to-write templates and
        components. See how to exploit the Rails service frameworks to
        send emails, talk to web services, and interact dynamically with
        Javascript applications running in the browser (the "Ajax"
        architecture). You'll see how easy it is to deploy Rails. You'll
        be writing applications that work with your favorite database
        (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, and more) in no time at all. 
        
              * Backup & Recovery 
        
        Packed with practical, freely-available backup and recovery
        solutions for Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac OS X systems -- as
        well as various databases -- this new guide is a complete
        overhaul of Unix Backup & Recovery by the same author, now
        revised and expanded with over 75% new material.
        
              * Building the Perfect PC, Second Edition 
        
        Regardless of your technical experience, Building the Perfect PC
        will guide you through the entire process of building or
        upgrading your own computer. You'll use the latest top-quality
        components, including Intel's Core 2 Duo and AMD's Athlon X2
        CPUs. And you'll know exactly what's under the hood and how to
        fix or upgrade your PC, should that become necessary. Not only
        is the process fun, but the result is often less expensive and
        always better quality and far more satisfying than anything you
        could buy off the shelf.
        
              * Cisco IOS Cookbook, Second Edition 
        
        Thoroughly revised and expanded, Cisco IOS Cookbook, 2nd Edition
        adds sections on MPLS, Security, IPv6, and IP Mobility and
        presents solutions to the most common configuration problems. If
        you work with Cisco routers, you need a book like this to help
        you solve problems quickly and effectively. Even if you're
        experienced, the solutions and extensive explanations will give
        you new ideas and insights into router configuration. And if
        you're not experienced--if you've just been given responsibility
        for managing a network with Cisco routers--this book could be a
        job-saver.
        
              * Capistrano and the Rails Application Lifecycle – PDF
        
        Learn how to make your Rails deployments pain-free with
        Capistrano! This Short Cut shows you how to use Capistrano to
        automate the deployment of your Rails applications. It teaches
        you the basics, but also goes far beyond. It shows you realistic
        deployment scenarios, including some with complex server farms.
        It includes a quick reference to Capistrano. As your Rails
        applications grow, it becomes increasingly important to automate
        deployment and to keep your development environment well
        organized. Capistrano is the right tool for the job, and this
        PDF shows you how to use it effectively.
        
              * Color Management in Digital Photography (Rocky Nook)
        
        Color Management for Photographers simplifies the complex
        language of color management in digital photography. Author,
        Brad Hinkel's process for moving images from capture to print
        while maintaining color management, provides enough information
        to create a simple yet effective system, while allowing the
        photographer to get on with photography. Based on classes and
        workshops given by Hinkel to hundreds of students of digital
        photography, this simple approach to color management does not
        mean it sacrifices quality and effectiveness.

        book crackles with a fine sense of humor and refreshing
        objectivity about its subject, guiding readers through the new
        Excel with clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, lots
        of illustrations, and friendly, time-saving advice. It's a
        perfect primer for small businesses with no techie to turn to,
        as well as those who want to organize household and office
        information.

        only make sense after you're an expert? Try our Head First book.
