  • Slow down.

    by Sara Jay,

    Brian, please ignore the below statement if you have physical problems with speech, but if you slow down a bit without the "unnnnn unnnnn unnnn ummmmm ummmms", it will be so much better. Your book concurrency in action is phenomenal and a gem in the piles of crap these days. Goes without saying that you are definitely "Doug Lea" material, but it would be great if you could slow down a bit to let us understand a bit from you.

    However, nothing is gonna stop me from reading your books ;-).

    Hi Leonid,



    My apologies for the mix-up on that - when I looked at your blog, in the upper right corner I saw:



    leonardinius Daugavpils/Riga, Latvia



    which I interpreted as being your name, with Riga as your hometown.



    Thanks for fixing that Stefan!

    Hi Ryan and Stefan.
    Not a big deal, I really understand the cause of this. Probably I would get it wrong too (it's just this widget, which displays profile info in some weird manner).


    Anyway, thanks a lot for finding that article and mentioning it here.
    Thanks Ryan and Stefan.
