I swear I'll never get used to this kind of thing. Just surfing along, minding my own business, and suddenly finding my own name leering back at me from some big-name website. Especially when they use words like "featured author".
The bio and article they've linked in were both things I wrote about a year ago, on their request; I didn't really know what it was for, and it seemed they squirreled it away into a deep dark vault somewhere, never to be seen again. I'd forgotten all about it. And just now, when I happened to go to the site in search of a reference on Apache that I could cite in a chapter, they'd trotted it out. I probably never would have noticed it otherwise. Really freaky.
(I'm also not sure whether the "What is FreeBSD?" article was oddly edited, or if I just didn't proof it very well. Meanwhile, Linux--the main alternative contender--pulls you into a community where the "activist" mentality can do more harm than good--namely, a business environment. Huh?)
Ah well. At least I've pointed it out myself now, so nobody can make fun of me for it. I think.
