This announcement makes it to this site a bit late, but as they say in 
my town, *better late than never*. I am announcing the publication of 
yet another two of my articles.

The first one is a review of the *thirty bees* ecommerce solution, and 
it has been published on Linux Magazine #284(!). What sets this article 
apart is that it features a tutorial for installing and running a 
*thirty bees* web store on an *OpenBSD* server, alongside the review 
proper. I wrote this tutorial after evaluating *thirty bees* for 
replacing the framework which hosts my current web store(!). Eventually 
I decided the migration was not the effort, but I think *thirty bees* 
is worth checking if you are starting a new project.

The second article is a quick tutorial for using *Sake*, an automation 
tool that strikes as a lightweight version of *Ansible*. Upon closer 
inspection, it is obvious *Sake* isn't an *Ansible* drop-in replacement 
at all (nor it intends to be). Nevertheless, *Sake* is quite useful for 
running concurrent tasks across multiple servers at once. It can't do 
nothing you can replicate with a mound worth of shell scripts, but 
*Sake* comes in a tight manageable package, so it is worth keeping an 
eye on it. The article has been published on ADMIN #91(!).
