This won’t be in stores for a few weeks yet, but the Kickstarter backers have a copy so you get one too. If you create an account on https://my.bookfunnel.com before you click on the link, BookFunnel will keep a copy for you to re-download later. They can also help you get the book onto your […]
CORRECTION: I go into Daylight Savings Time next week. Thanks to FO for catching that there was a problem! We’ve had multiple folks confused by time zone math, which makes perfect sense because I can’t do it either. On the last call, CM brought up everytimezone.com, which does the math for you. Time zones were […]
I am reminded, once again, that the Muse is a jerk. My fail-forward goals for 2023 were pretty straightforward: write two tech books and 3-4 novels. The publicity efforts of Triple Threat February scared off the Muse, however. Writing a hundred words of ad copy demands far more creativity than writing a hundred words of […]
I have quite the backlog of short stories that I need to throw into the world. One of my goals for this year is to get the dang things out in the world. The Rats’ Man’s Lackey and the Half Gallon of Christmas Miracle is the first of those. A Private Eye in Supernatural Witness […]
One of the benefits offered in the Prohibition Orcs kickstarter was an online release party. My author friends assure me that this is a thing, and that people will show up. We’ll find out. The conversation will wander randomly, although given the topic I feel somewhat compelled to start off with “Orcs, amirite?” During today’s […]
I am a victim of my own success. Yay me? All of the Prohibition Orcs and OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems sponsor gifts and rewards and kickstartings and preorders are fulfilled. My plate is clear to make more words. Except for filling out the tax paperwork, that is. Last year I waited until early March and the […]
Hanging out online. That’s what we do, this fourth year of 2020. This month it’s in my morning, so the Europeans can easily join. If you look at this month’s Sausage post, you’ll see you have extra chances to do that this month. Lots going on this Triple Threat February. I’m not entirely sure how […]
Welcome to 2023. So far, it has little to say for itself other than “Lucas still has poor scheduling.” But this time, it’s not my fault. Last year was thin on books. I shipped DNSSEC Mastery 2nd edition to print backers last spring. Letters to ed(1) came out, which didn’t seem to merit a mailing […]
It’s cold outside. Stay inside. Let the snow pile up and join a video call. Mind you, it’s not as much snow as before. Global warming is clearly a thing, and it’s here with a vengeance. Seeing as I live in Michigan and worked my way through college by shoveling snow five months of the […]
The ebook of “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” is now available for Patronizers with the Digital Reader benefit. The print file is going to the printer today. We’ll spend the next few days doing the Approval Dance. Then I’ll rush-order proofs, make sure they’re okay, and order your books for delivery. I should get your print books […]
