Humpf. It is just BARELY possible that Mr. Hansteen's work will raise more money than mine. If so, it will clearly be the result of nepotism, collusion, and intrigue. If this happens, I'll have to write another OpenBSD book. One that will raise EVEN MORE MONEY than this petty little BoPF3 auction. ==ml > One again, the auction is at > > http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Book-of-PF-3rd-ed-signed-by-the-author-First-Copy-signed-/321563281902? > > The blog post with the nice pictures is at > http://bsdly.blogspot.no/2014/10/the-book-of-pf-3rd-edition-is-here.html > > And if your bid turns out not to be the successful one, please make > the amount of your highest bid a direct donation to OpenBSD instead. > > Even if you wouldn't consider bidding, go on, head over to > http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html or http://www.openbsd.org/donations.html > and spend some money! > > - Peter > -- > Peter N.
