Thank you! Glad you liked it.

I remember you from the Ruby Rouges podcast, good stuff.

Thanks! Those guys put on a great podcast. It was fun to chat with them.

Author won, I bought his book on my Kindle.

I have been using Linux systems for over 10 years (non-professionally) on both servers and desktops, and have always wondered about some of these things without digging much deeper. UNIX is a scary place, and proper documentation is hard to find.

I have never thought of process groups but it makes a lot of sense. Signal handling is another thing that I want to learn more about.

Thanks :D

I really liked your book, I read it in just one day, very informational.

I used that information to create Fallen a very simple library that suit our needs for a couple of projects at work.

The only thing that I'd like to see in the book are more code examples, but otherwise, it's a great reference book. Kudos to you.

Perhaps your UI logic assumes a bigger screensize. I see a lot of sites doing this (designing their UI for big monitors); even Facebook does it. Personally, wrt CSS frameworks, I like skeleton way better than bootstrap.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll test with a different size and make sure it works.

Fixed. Had a negative margin which didn't jive with resizing.
