He's been around forever, both as a writer, and as Richi <br>
mentioned, as a popular speaker at open source conferences. He wrote a <br>
column "The Linux Tycoon" for years -- for NetworkWorld, I believe -- <br>
and in the last couple of years, at least until he joined LJ, produced <br>
and hosted a videocast that seemed to get a lot of traffic.<br>
<br>
He's definitely not for everyone's taste, but he's always an interesting <br>
read.<br>
<br>
And yes, this is the second time that LJ ceased publication. Whey <br>
announced in 2017 that they were shutting down, but immediately an angel <br>
showed up brought money and a new business plan to play.<br>
<br>
I wrote a couple of articles for them when they resumed publication, and <br>
only quit writing because my day job doesn't leave me the time. <br>
Otherwise, I'd still be writing for them today. They paid reasonably <br>
well and paid on time.<br>
