The new edition of Networking for System Administrators just went to copyedit, so I can forget about it for a few weeks. The people who most deserve credit for this book are the folks who struggled through me learning networking as I stood between them and their goals. Every one of you brought me a … Continue reading "98: Suffering Builds Character"| Michael W Lucas
I’m tentatively scheduling the N4SA2e Kickstarter to start 16 September and run through 7 October. Three weeks is a long time for a Kickstarter, but it worked well for the mail book. If you’re interested in getting the book before the general public can, go to the Kickstarter page and click “Notify me now.”| Michael W Lucas

Not really a reorg. More of a shredding. July’s StSBM talked about how my web site is unmaintainable and unauditable. I have most of the titles up there, I think, but the descriptions are sketchy and the buy links are chaos. I had to hire help just to get the Amazon links straightened out. Every … Continue reading "Web Site Reorg"| Michael W Lucas
I get accused of making jokes in my tech books. I don’t. I tell the truth. The truth is so ridiculous that the only sane reaction is to laugh. Honesty and integrity are everything, in both my fiction and nonfiction. (Yes, even in Laserblasted.) Ever since PAM Mastery invoked Terry Pratchett’s Unseen University, I’ve started … Continue reading "I don’t tell jokes: a “DNSSEC Mastery, 2nd Edition” outtake"| Michael W Lucas

If you buy the print, you still get the ebook free. I intend to keep this coupon live indefinitely, barring debacles. Why? When you … Continue reading "Permanent Discount on Books at My Store"| Michael W Lucas

Today and tomorrow, Tilted Windmill Press is offering 10% off all titles with coupon code YIKES. Yes, you need to pay shipping on paperbacks, but you get the ebook free with the paper copy. Buy a couple and … Continue reading "Sysadmin Appreciation Day Sale"| Michael W Lucas
The Twisted Presents Kickstarter is delayed for stupid logistical reasons. It will launch, but not on time. Still, here’s a chunk from Heart of Coal in that collection. Glitter’d been in the Pit for longer than I’ve been alive, and he’d loved every day of it. He was shorter than me, but his muscles had … Continue reading "96: Enough Coal for All the Children in Des Moines"| Michael W Lucas
This post goes to Patronizers at the beginning of June and becomes public at the beginning of July. Not a Patronizer? You could be! $12 a year gets you my latest updates, occasional free tidbits, and the completely pointless MWL Footnote Fortune File. I set some ambitious goals at the beginning of last month. How … Continue reading "June’s Juffled Sausage"| Michael W Lucas
