Last week one of my blog posts got out of control and morphed into something I thought would be more appropriate for a magazine article. So I fired it off on Monday to an editor for an opinion, and he told me yesterday that they want to buy it. And, presumably, publish it at some point.
Once I get some drawings to him, they’ll write up and send me a contract. I don’t want to say the name of the magazine or the subject matter until the contract’s signed, but it’s a magazine published by a company that’s been around since the 1930s and is very highly regarded. I’m looking forward to working with them.
David Farquhar is a computer security professional, entrepreneur, and author. He has written professionally about computers since 1991, so he was writing about retro computers when they were still new. He has been working in IT professionally since 1994 and has specialized in vulnerability management since 2013. He holds Security+ and CISSP certifications. Today he blogs five times a week, mostly about retro computers and retro gaming covering the time period from 1975 to 2000.
I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts for many years. I’m glad you will get paid for them.
