I just ear wormed myself with Danger Zone at work. So that’s a thing. Y’all should consider backing #n4sa2e https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/networking-for-system-administrators-2nd-edition/

Gonna make a #n4sa2e promo video tomorrow that includes a reference to Drinking Heavy Water. It’ll be cool.

If you sponsored #n4se2e already there is a good chance that, like me, you are one of the extremely employed. More people reading this directly benefits us. Lucas says not to but I backed the kickstarter at the no rewards level just to help with the visibility. Also because who is he telling us what to do? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/networking-for-system-administrators-2nd-edition/

27 minutes into my work day and already wishing people would read Networking for Systems Administrators. I can’t wait for the second edition to be out. @mwl

Here’s a dirty little secret about networkers. We absolutely play favorites and asking good questions will make us like you. This book teaches you how to become one of our favorites. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/networking-for-system-administrators-2nd-edition @mwl

Anybody looking for work as an MSP/datacenter network architect? It is mostly work from home. You will need to be more or less in a metro area where we have a presence. ( That’s a legal/HR thing. Don’t @ me ). There would be a strong preference for somebody with strong automation experience but this is very much not a dev job. https://www.databankcareers.com/clients/14459/posting/10555699/

If the person I was just talking to had read Networking for Systems Administrators I wouldn’t be trying to hate them to death. People who interact with networks should read it as self defense. @mwl

I am deeply disappointed in Laserblasted. I was promised a scam and all we got was art. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/mwls-next-1-april-book

I consider this book foundational to success as any kind of computer toucher. When I bought my copy of the first edition Lucas told me he didn’t think I needed to read it. I actually learned a couple of useful ways to explain things to people from it. If you have reason to care about the state of IT you should consider supporting this endeavor. https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/n4sa2e-sponsor/
