Marcel's Linux Game of the Month : PySol
Marcel Gagné
If you asked a number of people (who know nothing about computers) to walk around and look over people's shoulders to discover the most popular computer application, they might be tempted to say "cards", specifically solitaire. I'm not saying people aren't working hard — in fact, I'm advocating that people are working too hard — it's just that seeing an idle PC with a game of solitaire displayed prominently has been one of the most common sites on business computers over the years. On a related note, the fact that's it's plain old solitaire that you see says a lot about how boring that other OS is when it comes to a decent game of cards.

Book Review: Wicked Cool Shell Scripts
Ed Schaefer
Author Dave Taylor's (Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther; Solaris 9 for Dummies; Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours) latest effort is Wicked Cool Shell Scripts published by No Starch Press. The subtitle, "101 Scripts for Linux, Mac OS X, and Unix Systems", more clearly describes the author's intent. Taylor presents basic shell library scripts, but also includes advanced scripts that wrap around Apache, lynx, CGI, ftp. He even provides a scripting chapter on MAC OS X. Visit the author's Web site for a complete table of contents and TOC. View all the script source and download a source tarball and view the book's errata from the same location.

Regular Expressions: Don't fear reliability
Cameron Laird, Kathryn Soraiz
Don't be afraid to script. There's nothing new in that, of course; it's one of the messages the "Regular Expressions" column has consistently preached over the past seven years.We usually prefer to phrase it with more affirmative details about specific advantages use of high-level languages brings. A few incidents over the past month make a bit of mild debunking seem timely, though.
