Poor neglected Blog

This poor blog has long been neglected. I'm not doing much with Novell anymore due to changes at work, but still love GroupWise and SUSE and ZENworks. I will try to do more with keeping up news on these products over the next few months.

Just to catch you all up on what's been keeping me busy, here's what's been going on.

I have several friends losing the battles to cancer, lost my sister to Pancreatic cancer as well.

I published a cookbook - all my cookie recipes, plus breads and muffins. It's on Amazon, I really need to get it over to SmashWords and B&N, but for now it's on Amazon and I'm frantically trying to do an update and reformat of the eBook version to match the print version as I work on this blogpost.  It has already been pirated to some "free" eBook posting sites, please ignore those. I'd like to at least break even on the $500 I paid for coverart and assistance with formatting for Amazon.

Not that you really need to buy it anyway as the key recipe everyone wants is on my other blog (which is posted further down).

Anyway, you can find it here:

Or if you prefer a spiral bound copy you can order it from my Etsy shop:

The recipes can be found here:

At work I've been busy learning BladeLogic, NSH scripting and new compliance rules for HIPAA, SOX, DISA and PCI.

Which reminds me, if your a BMC customer who would like to present at this year's Engage conference in Vegas in October, there's a call for papers, deadline is February 28th.

Since I'm busy studying for the VCP exam, I'll have to miss this year's submission deadline and hope to make it next year instead. Still a toss-up at when I will be back at BrainShare as I'll be footing the bill and most likely will be footing the bill for this year's Engage conference due to new management stylings at my current gig.

And I've been busy teaching other people's kids to bake, working on my 4 different book series which desperately need attention and editing before I can publish them. As usual, not enough hours in the day!

Ok, enough lolly gagging about, I have studying to do!
