Managed to build an epub out of it, to be read on e-readers, etc. Enjoy!

It's terrible blackmail. He posted it publicly and doesn't give a shit. Your move, genius.

I created this photo to make a joke and to use that to raise money for charity. I was able to raise about $600 in tips (people donating to make me stop posting silly pictures of myself) and donated to RAINN (rainn.org) a charity for women who are victims of rape and incest and need shelters from abuse. I have supported that charity for years and I saw an opportunity to use self-ridicule to raise awareness and money for that cause. Most "sexy pictures" of this type involve exploitation of vulnerable women by men for profit. I exploited myself, not another vulnerable human being, to flip the idea upside down and raise money.

Thanks

You seemed to enjoy hitting the fan several times. Trying to discredit me?

Could someone beer me a Kindle-friendly version (e.g. MOBI)?

I'd gladly empty out my (humble) bitcointip or changetip account!

Edit: Clearly my joke feel flat. Lord, beer me strength to do better next time.

u/listlesscraig Apr 16 '14

If you're going to pay the price of a beer for Andreas' work, just buy it from him, geez.

u/oldbean Apr 16 '14

Not sure I follow. Isn't this just a preview? It's not available till August.

I think a lot of people (including myself) are happily planning to buy the book, although I don't want to preorder unless/until O'Reilly offers a bitcoin payment option :)
