January 8, 2007 - Volume 2, #4
Good Morning:
There is no free lunch. I've always known that, but I was "reminded" this weekend. My wife has been extraordinarily accomodating while I was writing the book through most of December. I try my hardest not to work weekends, but I have been and through most of the holidays I was AWOL. But payback happened this weekend, when I awoke (actually when I stopped working on Saturday AM) and found my "Honey-DO" list full of things that have been lagging for weeks. If you have a honey, you have a honey-do list, and mine was LONG. So I spent a lot of the weekend patching, hanging, moving stuff around and (sob) disassembling the twin's cribs. That's right, the twins are now in big beds. Part of me will miss the infant and toddler phase. But time marches on. It certainly does in my house.
Not a lot going on in security land, as it seems everyone is aflutter about CES and MacWorld. That's fine by me, since I still have a lot of catching up to do. I blew up the 2007 Incites over the weekend, so it's not clear they'll be done by Wednesday (especially since I'll be in the road a bit too). I just got sick of making more predications about arbitrary technology sectors. I'm taking a different tack. It'll be interesting to see how it'll be received.
I also spent a good deal of time over the weekend (when I wasn't addressing my honey-do list) laying the Pragmatic CSO out for print. That's pretty much done and the book order will be going in today. I hope to be able to start shipping books by the end of the week. You'll be able to buy the book later today on www.pragmaticcso.com [1].
Have a great day.
