For the weekend crowd: "Networking for System Administrators, 2nd ed" now has a full Kickstarter page, with a book description and everything. It starts by confessing the title is a lie. https://mwl.io/ks I'd appreciate folks spreading the word. #sysadmin :flan_beg:

I have used 203.0.113.0/24 as my internal network for several years. It's reserved for documentation, and I write documentation, so that saved me much trouble. Amazon's Kindle has now blocklisted those addresses. Which means SWMBO's Kindle doesn't work. Time to renumber. :flan_piteous: #sysadmin
One of these years, I need to check out defcon. Or black hat. Or bsides lv. One of them things. Whichever.

Author's Tranquility Press got my phone number, and they keep calling thinking that I'll pay them for promotion. ATP is 100% a scam. Also: my books are not promotable. Nothing anyone does could make people want to buy them. #writing

Every time someone asks me about "how I self-publish," I flash back to a q&a at a con I shall not name, where I was on the "authors who make a living" panel, but I was the indie one. A woman who probably meant well got the mic and said, "You do realize, sir, that this aggressive independence and hyper-self-reliance is nothing but a trauma response?" I looked her in the eye and said, "So is hyper-competence." So, yeah. That's how I make a living.
