Welcome all the new readers and subscribers. My post summarizing High Sierra News for Admins certainly caused some extra traffic. Yesterday was the busiest day on this website ever, beating even the book launches by a good margin.
I will repeat some of the links from the High Sierra post here, so they don’t drown completely in that long list. A huge thank you to everyone in the MacAdmin community who share their time and knowledge, so we can all be better admins.
Next week, I will be attending and speaking at MacSysAdmin in Göteborg. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone there (again and for the first time). Feel free to say “Hi!” and introduce yourself.
