There are countless number of people that have contributed to my
knowledge and motivation to contribute to the community with
projects like this book. In particular, I would like to thank Joe Miller
for his sharp eyes and having clearly better editing abilities than mine.
I would also like to thank my wife Sherry for the continued love
and support despite all the extra time I had to put into projects like
book writing.
I would also like to thank my parents, Helen and Bruce; I still
miss you.
