After a 2-year break, my column in ACM Queue magazine returns! It has a new name "Operations and Life".
For many years I wrote a column in ACM Queue Magazine. It was called "Everything Sysadmin" and covered devops, IT, and basically anything I felt like. I stopped writing in 2020 due to the pandemic and a general lack of motivation. My last column was published Nov 2020. Two years later I finally feel like writing again.
The new column is called "Operations and Life". I'm going to write about the intersection of devops and personal life. I believe that most techniques we use at work can apply in our personal life and vice-versa.
These columns will be shorter and more to the point. While my old column would often be 10 or more pages long, my goal now is to keep things to about 2000-3000 words. This will make them easier to read and digest. This format is more web-friendly.
The first article in this new format is out!

Will you still be posting them here, too? I'd like to be able to read your posts through my rss reader and not follow all the posts on acm, which is way to broad for my linking.
Thanks for the posts, btw!
