There might be a more daft way for an author to maintain their official bibliography, but if so I haven't found it.

There might be a more on-brand way for me to maintain my official bibliography, but no matter how hard I look I can't find it.

Now that I have native IPv6 at home, thinking it's time for a new netflow book. I no longer run a backbone, though, so I don't have a great big WAN. Pondering focus/titles:

Netflow for the Home (lol, no)
Netflow for Sysadmins?
Lab Netflow?

It seems nfsen/nfdump is the best toolkit out there that supports IPv6, but the reporting tools are nowhere near as good as flow-tools. This book is gonna need a bunch of sed, awk, and sort.

Coupon code MWL gets you 10% off print books at https://tiltedwindmillpress.com. Buy paper, get the ebook free!

I saw today's SMBC and thought "that's brilliant, Tilted Windmill Press should do that."

Then I remembered how my readers would react. :flan_disappointed:

survived biking to the pharmacy!

Stopped at the grocer's air conditioned produce department on the way back for a head of lettuce. And to hug the watermelons.

#FreeBSD #pkgbase wish list:

make freebsd-update its own package, so it can be easily removed.

The old house is in the hands of the clean-out/donation crew. I don't have to go back there for a week.

Divorce paperwork is in the hands of the slowest court in Michigan.

Maybe I can do some writing?
