Send Doc Your Wishes
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:

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy
Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Learn more about catching the bad guy in this free white paper.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Get Well!
Doc,
I'm just one of the countless fans of yours, wishing you to get well very soon! You're an inspiration to many of us and I always look forward to your articles, writings, and movies.
Take care and keep up the good fight!

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

Get well soon
Best wishes for a fast recovery. Doc. Your good writings are missed.
Is there health care up there?
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. :-)

Feel better!
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' ;)

Get well soon
Hope you heal quickly.

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
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!
Jill Franklin, Executive Editor, Linux Journal
Feel better soon, Doc...
Feel better soon, Doc... enjoy the morphine while you can get it ;)
Candy Beauchamp
Get Well 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
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.
