Ever wanted to hire me but wished, “If only he were smarter, with security expertise, more integrity, and better looking?”
My friend @kyle is available for the 1st time since I've known him, & ticks all those boxes. Total #DreamTeam caliber guy. kylerank.in/about.html 1/2
New book by long-time Linux Journal editor @kyle ."How to Write a Tech Book", a step-by-step guide to technical publishing. (Near and dear to me: there is an entire chapter on how to format code. Trust me, us publishers give bonus points to potential authors who can handle this.) https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/kyle_rankin

A rabbit comes into a shop & asks, "Got any carrots?" The seller answers, "No!"
Next day the rabbit walks in again & asks, "Got any carrots?" The seller- "No!"
Next day the rabbit walks in & asks, "Got any carrots?" Seller shouts, "No! And if you come again and ask for carrots, I'll take nails and hammer you on the wall by your ears!"
Next morning the rabbit comes back & asks, "Got any nails?" The seller- "No!" The rabbit asks, "Got any carrots?"
I'll be here all week.
So I begin Guinea Pigs of Mastodon purely because @garethgreenaway followed me.
OMG I just realized Mastodon is what Twitter would be if it were Canadian
Can we get eco sister http://www.twitter.com/hiitaylorblake on here? Emmanuel the Emu's bird flu recovery is really the only reason I need to check Twitter anymore.
Who keeps you checking Twitter?
I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."
That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?
Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.
THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.
I don’t know if this will help anyone, but:
Mastodon: Help for the Frustrated User!

Did you know I have a full “Linux Essentials” certification course available for free? https://snar.co/linux
Because Mastodon is a better place with beautiful photos of Mt. Rainier.
(And I'm sending this from a plane. Free T-Mobile internet on United. The world is good.)
So much drama in the SPC
It's kinda hard being T-O-double-D
But, he, somehow, someway, keeps on comin' up with Librem hardware every single day
He's got coders in the chat room buildin' a phone
They ain't leavin' till 6 in the morn (PST)
Now we gonna pick a license for this. GNU's up, closed's down while you other developers code to this.
Rollin' down the street, writin' free code, licensed for GNU, laid back, with my mind on the Librem and the Librem on my mind.
