Bastard Operator From Hell joins The Register

Simon Travaglia, the brains behind The Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH), has selected The Register for the online return of his classic cult sysop-as-saboteur column.

We're very pleased: and so should be Britain's army of networking sysops. They were left bereft following last autumn's closure of Network Week, where BOFH established a huge following.

Mourn no longer. Simon is kicking off with his new BOFH columns in mid-January on The Register. We hope to introduce BOFH to a huge new worldwide audience. You might call this jumping the gun: we call it viral marketing. We should be taking orders for T-shirts come February. ®
