I got my copy of Podcasting Hacks at Foo camp. Damn, it looks fracking great. I can't believe I am an O'Reilly author now. I'm so proud of that book and the work I put into it. It was a lot of research and time and I think it turned out great.
Now I am in the process of uploading my next book, PHP Hacks, to the editor. Which means that I'm going to be going hands-off pretty soon. That's good news for me since I can now relax a little bit. What's interesting about this one is that O'Reilly is going to do an electronic beta distribution thing. So it should be out in the next couple of months, at least electronically. The Hacks style is perfect for this since each hack is pretty much self-contained.
Anyway, two books in one year. Gotta love it. I couldn't have done it without Lori's help, and my O'Reilly editors Brian and Brett.
Maybe another book next year, maybe not. I have to try and figure out how to have a healthy life while I both work a regular job and do the writing thing. I wish I could make enough money with the writing. I would love to invert the model where I was doing mainly writing with some implementation stuff on my off time.
