Got my proof copy of Tim Hall’s upcoming Second Edition of Max Power: Check Point Firewall Performance Optimization! Updated for R80.10, of course, with a higher page count (and slightly higher price tag). Should be available in a few weeks.

@c I approve of second-hand purchases of Apple gear, assuming they've replaced the battery in it, as they stop working well after a couple of years.
And electric container ships shipping coal? That's ironic.

@indigo they changed something about their "free" offering which made me decide to look at other options. Or maybe it was selective outrage over something they did, I have no idea.

@matigo there was a time when those interest rates were illegal and usury. Now, it’s common practice.
@matigo given the business travel I do, and the fact I'm occasionally having to order marketing swag, a credit card is definitely needed. We pay the thing off, of course, because paying 20% interest is for chumps.
@matigo rent and regular bills give you some credit history. Not as much as having a credit card, which is becoming increasingly difficult to do in the US anyway.
@matigo wow, I missed your blog posts. Been kind of a busy several weeks. Congrats on becoming a property owner!
