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 […]
I’ve said a bunch of times that my Patronizers make a big difference in my life, and it came into focus this morning. Y’all give me tooth money. Bad teeth don’t run in my family, they gallop. I brush, I floss, I use the water-pik and the fluoride and the 12-horsepower gum sander, but my […]
Yes, an extra post with not one but two updates! Posting early so interested folks can mark their calendars. Last December, I opened the usual video hangout to everyone who backs me. I forgot to show up. Completely on-brand for me, of course. I hadn’t gotten to the dojo all week and made myself get […]
Last year’s December all-Patronizer hangout worked pretty well, once I showed up. I’m thinking of doing that again next month. If you want me all to your high-class selves, you should probably show up this time. 19 November 2022, 7pm. The weekend before American Thanksgiving, so I won’t yet be bloated to unbearable proportions. Topics […]
