That's awesome. I think it really adds a nice personal touch to own's blog. If only my handwriting wasn't that bad and I had a blog…

Warning: You will have to give your email (and possibly $) to read the linked ebook.
There seems something more than a little sordid about linking to one's own stuff on HN in that way.
The helpful poster wasn't me, but I should totally make the PDF link easier to get to. No one should ever need to give me their email address for stuff. :)
> but I should totally make the PDF link easier to get to.
Great! Would be really useful.
There is no indication that app4soft is Sacha Chua, who is considered by many to be a pillar of the Emacs community. I would not hesitate to trust her with my email address.

Correct. I only posted link to Sacha Chua's blog pages, but has no any relation to posted content.
On linked page there is a link to public SlideShare version of this book:

Hmm I tried that, but you have to sign up to SlideShare. So I tried, and it wants me to sign up to LinkedIn. No thanks.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. Here, get it from https://sachachua.com/sharing/pdfs/2014-02-14%20A%20No-Excus... instead. Thanks for letting me know!

Apologies to all. It was too late to delete my asinine comment by the time I wanted to.
No worries! It's always good to have a healthy dose of skepticism on the Net.
So glad you saw this! :-) I was undoubtedly feeling irritated by the super-impressiveness of your blog post. Thanks for the link too.
edit: Just discovered https://pages.sachachua.com/sharing/ - thanks so much for putting that online.
The only comparable thing I've seen (and not so similar) is Cosma Shalizi's bactra.org - the Notebooks section is amazing, and a lot of his Reviews are great.
