The original cover painting for #n4sa2e is available in my store! www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/cove...
All proceeds go to artist Eddie Sharam.
One unique item of course, so if you're interested act quick.
US Export Control bounced an #n4sa2e sponsor gift back to me for an incomplete *recipient* name.
Apparently "A D Smith" with a full address is inadequate? I mean, if there's multiple ADs they can fight it out among themselves, right? Presumably the home has some sort of AD demultiplexing protocol?
Caught up on #n4sa2e shipments. If you were late in getting me your shipment info, it went out today. Unless you still haven't sent me your info, of course.
That's the final signed books out of the house! #n4sa2e
Time to write the next book.
Spreadsheet-managed book link pages (mwl.io/archives/24379) had its first major payoff today!
I had to add #n4sa2e to my bookshop.org . Saw that several books were missing bookshop.org links. Updated them all in the spreadsheet, ran the script, and poof! Updated links on everything! 🕺
"Networking for System Administrators, 2nd ed" is #1 in new Windows Administration releases
It's still there. #n4sa2e
a six foot long receipt, hanging from a doorframe so it can be admired in all its glory
It's monthly Receipt Scanning Day! I mailed #n4sa2e from a Canada Post.
The receipt:
Today's plan: get #n4sa2e in retail channels, and hopefully write the monthly Patreon post. Hoping to get two columns written, but that might wait for tomorrow.
Okay. Time to wrangle IngramSpark dropship spreadsheets. Cover me, I'm going in. #n4sa2e

Dear Australia:
You haven't received your #n4sa2e sponsor gifts yet. WHY are you already sponsoring the next one? 🤦 #justCantHelpSomePeople
Both Canadians #n4sa2e sponsors with shipping problems contacted. Guess it's time to put the new sponsorship on my blog.
The #n4sa2e sponsor books have all been mailed (except for a couple problem cases) and are starting to arrive.
Which means I can probably tell folks about the #openzfsmastery sponsorship.

Not gonna boost because folks are still waiting, but: the #n4sa2e sponsor copies are starting to arrive!
Which is worth celebrating, because it means I'm almost done with the dang thing! YAY!
A heap of 85 Priority Mail envelopes on my front porch.
US #n4sa2e sponsors: these go out to you tomorrow.
I'm gonna go find dinner now.
a small stack of envelopes on my front porch, read for the post office to collect
Hey print-level Patronizers! This is for y'all. #n4sa2e
Not a Patronizer? You could be. patronizemwl.com
a stack of 11 heavy boxes, stuffed with books
Print copies of #n4sa2e for me to sign and ship. Patronizers first, then sponsors, then Kickstarter backers.
More updates as events warrant.
(Truly, the interaction I'd like from UPS is "tell me when the truck is five minutes from my house, so I can go help the delivery dude haul 11 50-pound boxes of #n4sa2e hardcovers onto my porch.")
Box full of paperback copies of "Networking for System Administrators, 2nd edition"
The #n4sa2e paperbacks have arrived, so it's officially "author with dysgraphia forges his own signature" day.
(Dysgraphia is broad, so to be specific: I can neither read nor write cursive. My signature is meaningless.)
Just got a shipping notice from the printer for the #n4sa2e special editions.
Which means they've printed a shipping label, not that they've given the boxes to UPS.
I can't really complain. I'm going to do the same Monday.
It's a wild Saturday night here, so I'm updating my SNMP MIB for #n4sa2e. The book is starting to sneak out! Order it now, the print should be here well before the solstice.

The mwl fortune file is updated for #n4sa2e.
Favorite new footnote: "If your friend asks you to split your big slice of pie with him, what do you have? One fewer friend and one big slice of pie."
Most important footnote: "When in even the slightest, most minuscule doubt, always ask for consent."
#n4sa2e ebook updated on bookfunnel.
Worked out a surprise for #n4sa2e sponsors, Patronizers, and KS backers. It is utterly pointless.
Because when I have a theme going, I stick to it.
Going through #n4sa2e sponsor shipping info, and realizing yet again that in the US, even logistics companies are colonizers.
Mailing #n4sa2e sponsors to verify their shipping addresses.
I have repeatedly tested this script, but still sweating blood watching it.
#n4sa2e #kickstarter backers: you got a message about ebooks!
Today's plan: go through final corrections on #n4sa2e that the early backers were kind enough to send me, and (hopefully) get it to Kickstarter backers.
See if I can figure out the epub's iphone issue without buying an iphone.
Listen to Assemblage 23 in anticipation of their new album.
