Send Doc Your Wishes
June 17th, 2008 by Carlie Fairchild
Everyone's favorite Linux Journal Editor Doc Searls has been in the hospital suffering from pancreatitis with complications this last week. He'll be the first to tell you he'll be fine, but some well wishes never hurt anyone.
Please post comments below wishing Doc well -- oddly (or not, rather) Doc is sitting in his hospital bed with laptop in hand, so he'll certainly read any well wishes we post here.
And for some classic Doc to remember why we love this guy so much:

Email is one of the least private and least secure forms of communication, although few people realize this. MixMaster is one way to allow secure, anonymous communication even over the very public medium of email. This tutorial will get you started with MixMaster quickly and easily.

Feeling a bit like a Thermian? Never give up, never surrender! Someday, you could go from underdog to top dog. Just take a look at a few of the underdogs we highlight in this issue: Mutt, djbdns, Nginix, Gentoo, Xara and the program voted mostly likely to fail just a few years back—Firefox. If Firefox is not radical enough for you, check out Chef Marcel's column for some more alternatives. Having trouble mapping your program data to your relational database? If so, Rueven Lerner shows you some tricks in his At The Forge column.
Need to run GUI applications on your server in the next state? In his Paranoid Penguin column, Mick Bauer shows you how to do it securely. Kyle Rankin keeps hacking and slashing and shows you a few split screen secrets you may not be familiar with. Finally, we all know what happens next February, but only Doc knows what happens afterward.
get well soon!

hey Doc,
You let them know know who the real Doc is, OK?
Take care, and wish you well.
Blessings and Light,

Best wishes for a fast recovery. Doc. Your good writings are missed.
Is there health care up there?
On June 17th, 2008 Phil Hughes says:
Just read this and felt a bit worried because, as I remember, there is not really any health care available in the U.S. anymore. Hope you get better soon but if you decide not to, feel free to come to Nicaragua to be sick. We have free health care and my aunt seems to be fine after her pancreatitis problems so I guess they know what they are doing here.
The bad news is that I don't think we have WiFi in the hospital yet. :-)

We'll all be anxiously awaiting your full recovery. If you feel like writing a blog post while under the influence of something really groovy, I wouldn't be opposed to reading it... just sayin' ;)

Hang in there, Doc

Doc,
Been thinking about you a lot these last few days. I appreciate your tweets and blog updates, though I can't imagine how you manage that. I know you'll get through this, 'cuz the suits still need a lot of Linux training!
Many thanks for all the help over the years!

Next deadline is July 9th
On June 17th, 2008 Jill Franklin says:
Well Doc, you came up with quite an excuse for missing the deadline this month--but really, it's a bit much. Your lame, "dropped my laptop in the mud" excuses have worked just fine in the past, and I expect to go back to those next month :) Get better soon!

I'm sorry to hear that you're not well, Doc. I hope this passes quickly and you're back on your feet soon!
Better Places
On June 17th, 2008 Shawn Powers says:
It sounds like you have a private room, private bath, a constant stream of people attending to your needs, along with wifi. Let me assure you, there are other establishments that poke fewer needles in you and supply the same frills. And it's probably cheaper too. :)
Heal quickly so you can get to a coffee shop soon.
