Surprise finds

Surprise finds from a second-hand book shop.

Got these yesterday from a second-hand book shop here in Cabanatuan City: (from top) Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon; Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead; William Gibson's Virtual Light; and Programming Perl, second edition, from O'Reilly. All for Php99 each.

Not bad at all.

    "Programming Perl" is worth over P2,000.00. At P99, that is
    a steal!

    So you read Orson Scott Card. I started a group "Card Readers"
    in Shelfari. You might like to join. Please do.

    I read Card's Ender and Bean series. Haven't logged on Shelfari for quite some time now. Will prolly give it a shot. Thanks, Doc Mana.

    where in cabanatuan? i found some nifty computer books in Booksale in the NE Pacific mall. i bought a Sams Teach Yourself BEA WebLogic server 7.0, Internet Security, and Programming with Java IDL. Two were priced at 99 and one was at 170. i think it was the BEA book because the bundled CD was still attached. :D

    ciao!

    Found them in Booksale. There's a second-hand book shop in Poulex Department Store in Megacenter, and another one at the Pandayan (nice name) Bookstore.

    I love second-hand bookstores. :)

Pull files off Android phone

This assumes you have Android Debug Bridge (ADB) installed. This will pull all files from a directory in an Android phone. cd /path/to/destination/directory adb pull /path/to/source . As Julian says, "Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy." (I use this, by the way, since the Nexus 5 and OS X Mavericks refuse to work together in USB mode.)
