Hello all you amazing nerds!
Got a quick, but important, scheduling note for everyone: “macOS Sucks”, which was scheduled to be live streamed tomorrow, needs to be rescheduled.
Why?
Because I (and the entire Lunduke clan) have the Measles. (Seriously. Even my wife, who has had three rounds of the Measles vaccine.)
We’re all doing a-ok — no complications at this point, and I expect all of us to recover just fine — but it means that I am going to be unable to record a show for at least another two weeks. Instead I will be staying mostly in bed, and staying away from other humans (so that we don’t spread this illness to anyone else).
I will be announcing the new date for “macOS Sucks” as soon as I’ve fully recovered.
This does present a problem…
There is one critical problem with needing to rescheduling “macOS Sucks”…
The big shows I do — like “Linux Sucks” and “macOS Sucks” — are the single largest bit of promotion I do every year. By a long-shot. The new subscriptions that come in because of those types of shows accounts for a huge portion of the revenue for The Lunduke Journal.
With no big show at the end of January — which can’t be helped — The Lunduke Journal is left in a bit of a pickle. The plan was to release “macOS Sucks” and, because of that, not need to do any other sort of big promotion or sale (because sales are kind of annoying for everyone).
Since I can’t record any sort of show until the Measles has passed, I am left with two options:
Hold a big, annoying sale. (Yuck.)
Or give everyone in The Lunduke Journal community a gentle nudge and hope enough of you pick up subscriptions that I don’t need to do any more promotional work at all — and can focus my limited energy, while I recover, on writing new articles.
I’ll be honest. I prefer the 2nd option.
So here’s my (oh-so-humble) request.
If you have been on the fence about picking up a subscription to The Lunduke Journal… now is a time to do it where it will have a significant positive impact on the publication (as it will allow me to not do any annoying sales, or any other promotional work, and focus all my energy on new content).
Go to the “How to Subscribe to The Lunduke Journal” page.
Lots and lots of options there — Monthly, Yearly, Founding, and Lifetime. All are fantastic and all directly contribute to the daily running of The Lunduke Journal.
- You can also subscribe directly on Locals.
All of them will give you:
Access to all of the exclusive articles and podcasts that come out every week.
Plus all the videos and eBooks (which there are a lot of).
And the ability to watch the live events (such as “macOS Sucks” and “Linux Sucks”) when those happen.
The Founding Member and Lifetime subscriptions also give you full access to the Lunduke Journal communities on Locals as well as access to both Lunduke Journal publications.
Which is pretty sweet.
However you decide to subscribe, it will be deeply appreciated — by both myself and all of the other subscribers who will not need to hear about annoying sales and promos. ;)
Thus ends the gentle nudge. A huge thank you, in advance, to everyone who feels sufficiently… nudged. ;)
-Lunduke
