Nigel Poulton: The Kubernetes Book (Paperback, 2017, Independently published) 4 stars

The Kubernetes Book

3 stars

k8s is much more complicated than docker swarm. i think the move from docker swarm to k8s was a mistake for 90 percent of companies. docker swarm can do what k8s does and is much less complicated. self healing? yes multi node? yes. now people need to learn kubectl/helm etc. i think it's too much overhead for 90 percent of cases. this opinion is shared dockerswarm.rocks/

docker deep dive by nigel poulton very well written, this book had big shoes to fill

Review of 'Auto repair for dummies' on 'Goodreads'

This book broke a car down into parts and had a section with multiple chapters on each part. Each chapter included a description of the part, how it works and steps on how to perform different maintenance procedures.

This book gives me confidence to buy a car from a private party instead of a dealer.
I plan to also read Deana's book Buying a Car for Dummies before I buy a used car.

John Reed: Ten Days that Shook the World (Paperback, 2006, Dover Publications) 4 stars

Review of 'Ten Days that Shook the World' on 'Goodreads'

This book was written like a story, with a lot of details and information about the time of the year that events took place, the individuals involved in the revolution, etc. It was an entertaining book. I would say, however, that I don't feel like I understand the chronology of the revolution and still have a lot of questions. I did learn that the revolution was a lot more complicated with many groups involved than I thought before reading the book. I listened to the audiobook on librevox

Review of 'One, no one, and one hundred thousand' on 'Goodreads'

Who am I ? Is the theme of the novel. If I am 1 person to my friend D and 1 person to my friend S am I 1 person or 2 persons? Extrapolate this out for many people...1 , None, 100,000.

It is on the same vein as something a teacher said in high school. If you are always losing memories and gaining new memories are you the same person now as you were yesterday?

It's a thought provoking book.
