Obsolete Your Idols

So I didn’t finish NNWM2008, obviously.  I got to about 14k words and then I went to LISA and did only conference noting and then came back to my daily routine and tried to sustain the energy and ideas I got from LISA.

Things I have done since then, related:

1. started reading Tom Limoncelli’s very applicable Time Management for System Administrators
2. set up suspend to disk on my laptop using the uswsusp package
3. encrypted my swap partition using these handy instructions
4. encountered and worked around this bug in using cryptsetup

There’s always next year for National Novel Writing Month but the changes I’ve made instead seem more important to me.
