Spending tonight on the island as well - got a bunch of plants in their new homes. Should look nice once they grow a bit. Yummy too. Back from a burrito and two beers - plans to cook dinner here did not materialize...
Looking forward to the LinuxFest Northwest in two weeks - 20th Anniversary. Their keynote speaker is maddog:
2019: Fifty years of Unix, Internet and more
2019 is a year of anniversaries. It is the fiftieth year of Unix, the ARPAnet, people walking on the moon, Woodstock, Linus being born (yes, he is fifty) and many other things. It is the thirtieth anniversary of the World-Wide-Web, the twenty-fifth anniversary of V1.0 of the Linux kernel, Beowulf supercomputers, and 64-bit Linux. It is the twentieth anniversary of the Linux Terminal Server project, the Linux Professional Institute and LinuxFest Northwest (time flies when you are having fun).
Fifty years ago maddog wrote his first program, and fifty years ago he shaved for the last time.
Besides 1969 being a year of landmarks, it was the start of a unique operating system and (later) a free operating system that captured people's minds.
This talk will discuss the reasons behind these phenomenons.
The only other person with this much Computer Geek-Fu is RMS
