What have you been doing?

I have been reading books like:

• Google's PageRank and Beyond: The Science of Search Engine Rankings


• Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications


• Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (3rd Edition)


• Mining the Web: Discovering Knowledge from Hypertext Data
