To write: perchance to try again: ay,
there's the rub or Do I Write Another
Book?
To write: perchance to try again: ay,
there's the rub or Do I Write Another
Book?
01/15/2003 08:47 AMTo write: perchance to try again: ay, there's the rub1 or Do I Write
Another (PHP2) Book?
Anyone who was IMing me in the May / June / July time frame may be
surprised to see this entry. Things change and time makes pain and
bad memories drift away. I am speaking, of course, about the O'Reilly
Essential Blogging writing process which was just plain awful and made
me swear that I would N_E_V_E_R write another book for money. And
here I am.
I've been approached by Sams to write a PHP 5 in 21 Days book and I'm
torn. I just don't know whether I want to walk this road again.
Here's the situation as I see it:
Pros
I am the PHP Journal columnist for "On the Horizon" which talks about
new PHP 4.x and 5.x features so it makes sense to write this
I'm virtually certain that I'd enjoy working with this editor more
than my last. Shelley strikes me as just plain cool (she handled
giving out books to a pack of ravenous open source folk at PHP CON
with a lot of style and grace).
Good self promotion
Would probably generate consulting work although that is by no means
clear
Establishes my credentials more firmly and anchors me to PHP even more
Chance to talk about things like templating and event driven coding
$$$ (although there is never all that much of it)
Having an editor
Cons
Having an editor
Have to create a __good__ website for the book
How will they bungle the online side of it in a new and creative way?
Lose the source code? Post it wrong?
Managing the book writing and blogging and consulting process
concurrently
Will I actually make money
Does promoting parts of it on my blog make me a schill
Questions
If anyone out there can help with these questions, I'd appreciate it:
Anyone out there buy Sams books? I haven't in years and I don't know
the rep these books have. Thoughts? Example of Similar Sams Book
Has anyone written for Sams?
Do they pay well
What are they like as a publisher?
Positive, Negative, Details?
Was it a good or bad omen when I dropped my review copy of "Cold
Fusion in 21 days" in the sink when shaving this morning?
Would you buy it?
Do people buy PHP books as opposed to using PHP.Net? I myself have a
bunch of PHP books but don't turn to them all that often.
There is something just plain addictive about walking into a bookstore
and seeing yourself on the shelf. That and once you've written one
book then there is just something about it. As Robert Heinlein once
remarked (and the quote is inexact) "No one likes writing but people
like having written". He was definitely correct about that.
Thoughts, feedback, comments strongly appreciated.
1To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; Hamlet, Act 3,
Scene 1. [_Go_] (sorry for the bad link but their search engine
doesn't give easily linkable results)
2Oh and if you're wondering why I put PHP on the title, with PHP being
the target audience I figured it would get this more attention (and
syndication to other sites) from the target audience
Can I write? I want to write. But I'm
afraid to write
Can I write? I want to write. But I'm

Hiding Your Assets
Hiding Your Assets
04/10/2005 11:33 PMZorn Whups Chicagoist’s Ass
“In the wee final moments
of Thursday night, Chicagoist received an e-mail from Chicagoist's
favorite professional blogger and columnist
Mr. Eric Zorn.
The subject line: ‘whup ass
report -- Nexis’
Seems Chicagoist may have
inadvertently overstated things yesterday when we said getting the
phrase ‘can of whup-ass’ into the pages
of the &lsq
uo;stuffy and stodgy Tribune’ signaled a ‘hope for
tomorrow,’ as Zorn uncovered at least four previous
occasions when said phrase has appeared in the Trib. Using his trusty
Lexis-Nexis, Zorn found the mentions and they go clear back
into 2001.
While one Chicagoist staff member was heard to say
that if Zorn wants to lend us the cash to get a subscription to
Lexis-Nexis we'd be happy to check for such things, and while two of
the references are found in the pages of Red Eye, Chicagoist
knows when we've had our asses handed to us and we can admit
it
.” [Chicagoist]
I
was going to leave a comment on the Chicagoist site to the effect that
while they may not have access to Lexis-Nexis, they most certainly
have access to a far wider range of materials that most definitely
includes an archive of the Chicago Tribune, all for
free, thanks to their local public library. Except that in this case,
that local public library is the Chicago Public Library. In order
to prove my point, I searched for a list of the databases to which
they offer access. Guess what? No list. Just a link to “Chicago WebFeat
Remote Authentication.” What on earth do you suppose is a
WebFeat Remote Authentication, much less a Chicago
one?
That’s when I realized that Chicagoist doesn’t
know the answer to that question, either, and really, why should they?
So to Chicagoist, trust me that your search would have gotten you what
you needed if the page had been labeled something that made sense and
provided any type of explanation or list at all. Bookmark that page,
because there’s a wealth of information available to you from it
(assuming that you have a library card, and I feel pretty confident
that you do). And to CPL, rename that page ASAP and add a list of
all of the databases available in order to highlight your assets, not
hide them!
