This See the Sausage Being Made post went to my esteemed Patronizers at the beginning of February, and will go to the public in the beginning of March. Not a Patronizer? You could be. One of the advantages of being a self-employed writer is that my schedule is infinitely flexible. I can work any hours […]
“The Rats’ Man’s Lackey and the Bringer of Leaves” previously appeared in Pulphouse #33, but their exclusivity period ran out and I have no shame. In updating my bibliographic SNMP MIB, I found that this is the 111th published thing with my name on it. There’s probably a Bilbo Baggins joke to be made there, […]
My thoughts on last month? “Well, that was a thing that happened.” Lost two weeks to holiday chaos, but managed to get a few words made anyway. The Dear Abyss Kickstarter is basically complete. Three people still owe me their addresses to ship books. That’s a problem, but I’ve poked them to fill out their […]
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 post went to Patronizers at the beginning of November, and to the public at the beginning of December. Not a Patronizer? Sign up at https://patronizemwl.com. Okay, fine, technically, you don’t sign up there. You get to choose between my Patreon and my private patronage system. Still, you all get treated with the same confusion […]
[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.
