+      <p>I'm working on a third edition of <i>Absolute &os;</i>. This
+	will be a nearly complete rewrite, thanks to the addition of
+	little details like ZFS, GPT, <tt>dma</tt>, GELI, new boot
+	stuff, disk labeling, <tt>pkg(8)</tt>, <tt>blacklistd</tt>,
+	jails, etc..</p>
+
+      <p>My current (delusional) plan is to have a first draft
+	finished by the end of October 2017, so we can have print
+	copies for BSDCan 2018.</p>
