About the author

Jeffrey T. Darlington is best known as the creator of "General Protection Fault", one of the Internet's oldest continuously updated online comic strips. He has been entertaining fans of GPF for nearly twenty years, chronicling the adventures of the employees of a small software company and their escapades through time and space, as well as the sentient slime molds that love and care for them.
Outside of cartooning, Jeff is also a husband and father, as well as a professional software developer with over two decades of experience. Aside from torturing his readers, he also enjoys classical music, writing fiction, and playing video games.

GPF tells the story of a group of computer programmers that work for a company named "General Protection Fault" after the Windows error message. There is humour, paranoia, geekiness, slime-moulds that have been lying around so long that they achieved intelligence (and are now teaching correspondance courses), and fun. Buy this book for the computer professional in your life, and keep an eye out for the new book: "Gone with the Windows."
So while I do recommend this book to be bought, just make sure you a gluegun or superglue in hand when you read it.
