In short:
- First class / One of a kind content and a must-read for IT professionals. Seriously, a course in Logs should be a must in any computer-related degree, imo.
- Frustrating amount of editing errors & mistakes.

Interesting read and actually very thoughtful - but the language is a bit rough in parts.
And, I know this is going to be an odd facet to mention - but the pages had a really pleasant texture to them.
