Hi folks, It’s the dark of the year, so I put out a Christmas story standalone. I was going to also release the Beaks Christmas story out, but when I went looking for cover art this was the first image that popped up. The good news is, I’m confident this isn’t AI-generated. The bad news […]
Autumn is my favorite Michigan season. Cool enough at night to wear sweatpants, warm enough in the day to wear shorts. Oh well, it’ll return. Some distant day. Mostly shorter bits for you this month. The immediate news is that despite the election, we’ll be staying in Detroit for now. We’re under less threat than […]
Here’s the thing: Patronizing me is a terrible deal. $12 a year for posts that go public a month later? Laughable. I appreciate you, but it’s still a terrible deal. My new book, Dear Abyss: The FreeBSD Journal “Letters” column, years 1-6, is escaping soon. It’s a collection of previously published material. Somehow it successfully […]
This post will never go to the public. One of the stretch goals for the Run Your Own Mail Server Kickstarter was an online launch party for all backers. As parties go, it’s pretty lame–definitely BYOB. It’s open to all early backers, including you folks. There’ll be two sessions, to give both Europeans and West […]

[This article contains RYOMS gift spoilers for print-level sponsors and Patronizers. I think everyone has their packages, but just in case, you’ve been warned.] [This post went to Patronizers at the beginning of October, and the public at the beginning of November.] It’s Halloween Month, and there was much rejoicing. I perform one experiment with […]
A very… special edition of Run Your Own Mail Server is getting delivered to my porch today. I want to get it out to you in a day or so, along with a special gift for sponsors and backers.
If you have moved since the last time you got books from me, please contact me with your new address ASAP.
Pretty sure August was eating locoweed. The “Run Your Own Mail Server” Kickstarter owned most of my hide this last month. Not all of it. A patch on the back of my neck remains freehold. I managed to make a few words on what I’m calling #projectIDGAF, but mostly it’s been investing in production stuff. […]
First, the warning. If you’re a PRINT Patronizer and have moved since you signed up, please log into your Patronizer account and update your shipping address at https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/my-account/edit-address/ .

Wow, is it raining. The word “acquerne” has nothing to do with water, but I believe the acquerne are crazy damp and none too pleased. Anyway. In the name of Dog I’m tired, but here’s where things stand. Most importantly, I learned how to pronounce “floccinaucinihilipilification” and “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.” That should guarantee I live my next […]
