FULL STORY ======================================================================

By popular request, we are extending BSD Week originally scheduled to end on Wednesday by a whole extra week! BSD Week will now run until Wednesday, March 1st!

All of you wanted more BSD time so you got it!

This works great for me as well.

My BSD articles keep expanding, and growing in scope (and number) with my
BSD History series now looking to be a total of 4 individual articles.

Plus, there are multiple BSD things I haven't had the chance to try yet that
I really want to (including 2.11BSD and GhostBSD).

Then theres the fact that I'm a bit distracted for two or three days, at the beginning of this week, as I prepare for the big demo and meeting to get my own weekly Lunduke Journal radio show

So, more BSD Week? Im game! Extending the Pay-What-You-Want Sale until Tuesday at 10am (Central)

Likewise, were also extending (slightly) the current sale. (Huge thanks to everyone who has taken advantage of it! You are awesome!)

This sale was originally set to end at Midnight tonight but lets let it run until tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at say 10am Central Time .

That way theres enough time for folks to take advantage of it in various time zones.

Heres the crazy deal (super duper discounted):

Anything over $50 will qualify for a Founding Member Subscription.

And anything over $125 will qualify for a Lifetime Subscription

This is insanely cheap. Obviously, if you feel you can afford a higher
amount that would be appreciated. But if those amounts are all you can afford? Go for it!

While these prices are obviously crazy low if it results in a significant surge in new or upgraded subscriptions it will be MORE than worth it.

To get a Founding Member Subscription:

Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/subscription .

Choose the "Annual" option.

Enter "$50" (or more) in the amount field.

To get a Lifetime Subscription:

Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support .

Choose "Give Once".

Enter "$125" (or more) in the amount field.

Note I am processing these manually, so give me a few hours to upgrade your accounts (on both Substack and Locals) after you make the purchase. I will contact each of you by email after I set your accounts properly. If you
dont hear from me within a day, send an email to bryan@lunduke.com to make sure your accounts get full access. What do we call the 2nd week of BSD Week?

One of the only real problems with extending BSD Week is what in the heck do we call the second week?

Here are a few ideas that have been thrown around:

2BSD Week (or BSD 2Week)

BSD Week ++

while true; do echo "BSD week"; sleep 1; done

10 PRINT BSDWEEK
20 GOTO 10

BSD...When Forks Happen

"I'll be back" - BSDweek 2.0

Whatever we call it the second week of BSD Week will be great. Gives us a chance to dive ever deeper into the wild world of BSD!

Personally I like BSD 2Week. Feels on-brand for early BSD versioning.
