Hi folks! Pardon my typos, it’s been a wild few days. This last month brings you not one, not two, but three books with my name on them. The new Fiction River: Broken Dreams anthology has a long Prohibition Orcs story in it. DNSSEC Mastery is everywhere in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. Domesticate Your Badgers […]
My brain, that is. Fried sausage. With a bit of sauerkraut on the side, and maybe a pirogi or two. DNSSEC Mastery came back from copyedit and is starting to leak out into the world. My cunning plans for this book kind of imploded, and I wound up working through the weekend trying to batter […]
Silly me, griping about how cold it was last month. I’ll have the monthly Sausage post up in a bit, but wanted to get this out so you can schedule it. 19 February 2022, 10 AM Detroit time. 3PM UTC. If you’ve backed me at this level and have never attended, well, we’ve had some […]
Hi folks, This book took far longer than I hoped. I blame the Moon. Download your book before the end of March. I need to add some more words here to avoid the preview, so: This is the first tech book I’m distributing directly from BookFunnel. Bookfunnel keeps copies of all the books you’ve downloaded […]
For those who hadn’t heard: I finally wrote a book on writing. It was partly to make people stop asking me for writing advice, and partly because I finally found an empty space in a glutted market. Most of you back me for tech books, but for good or ill Patronizers get copies of everything. […]
The time given in the Zoom invite is wrong. It had expired before you read the note. Because I’m an idiot who’s trying to do too many things simultaneously. 22 January, 7 PM EST is the actual time. The meeting ID and passcode are correct.
This seems like a really good month to stay home as much as possible. If you must go out, don’t click any covids. But why not join me on the evening of Saturday 22 January to hang out on Zoom and talk about random crap? My Patronizers’ random crap is usually more interesting than the […]
Right now it’s colder than it’s been in years, and I’m really missing that global warming. My home is heated with a boiler, and by the time that hot water makes its way into my authorial garret it isn’t so hot anymore. Insulated blinds and curtains only go so far, so I’m writing in a […]
I scheduled a Patronizer hangout, and did not show up. This is entirely my fault, and I humbly apologize. I’ve spent the last few days with workmen in the house, smashing concrete and sawing boards. My nerves are shot and my brain is jangled. This might explain but does not pardon my absence. I remembered […]
Hello my dear Patronizers! My big news is the tendinitis in my left arm and up through my shoulders. Apparently you can’t work for 20 years as a system administrator while writing dozens of books on the side without straining your body. Yes, I have an ergonomic workstation, split keyboard, and all the proper tools […]
