Easy as pkg-get

Holy Cow this is cool! Many thanks to mabbott for this very helpful post: Some People Are Less Lazy than I

One of the easiest pkg installs I've done in a while. I didn't have to worry about any of the dependent pkgs either. It found them all, grabbed them, and installed in about a minute.

Software patches for Solaris should be this easy, and I know they are working on it, but it's still not this easy.

From the Cool Things Norm Creates Dept: DocBot!

Norm Walsh never ceases to amaze me. Not only has he created a very useful content model in a variety of flavors, plus stylesheets to do useful things with that content, he has now brought us DocBot!

Norm added a bot to #docbook. DocBot will answer a few stylized questions about DocBook, and I think will be a nice online help addition for our internal knowledge engineers, who are creating support articles based on Simplified DocBook.

Take a look at Norm's posting on the subject at: http://norman.walsh.name/2004/06/14/apis
