I'm the head of IT at Statistics Iceland. I describe myself as a hacker turned manager so that other hackers don't have to (but I sure do miss hacking all the time).
You're right. In the end it didn't seem to be a good fit with Manning's readers. The rights have turned back to me.
In a way that's good because then I can go in the direction I originally wanted to go with the book, but it's also bad because now I have to intrinsically find the motivation to modify it and find a different publisher.
What happened to the book, btw? Looks like it's not getting released with Manning. Will it be available through some other publisher?

Do you still have a draft copy of the book, I would like to read the original copy.
