Hope you have enjoyed the series - and that you have bought (or will buy) the book! ;) Jon's book is stuffed with good stuff and is generally a much better read than "mine" chapter.

Note that I do not get any royalties from the book and I highly recommend that you get your own copy – for instance at Amazon.
