Quite some time ago, I wrote a handful of guest posts for O’Reilly’s ONLamp.com online publication. Unfortunately, that site seems now gone from the interwebs and I only noticed by chance upon realizing that some of my links to those articles were now broken.
Fortunately, I was able to find copies of those articles via archive.org’s WayBack Machine. So I have now taken the chance to import those articles into this site. As part of the process, I made the formatting fit this site and fixed a bunch of dead links, but otherwise the content is pretty much a verbatim reproduction of what was published years ago.
Keep in mind that these articles were professionally edited, if I recall correctly, by chromatic (whoever that is), which is a big difference from the rest of the content in this site.
Without further ado, time to travel back in history!
