Jonathan Byrne runs OpenBSD? I though he was d3814n 4 l1f3 817ch3Z!!!

Speaking of Ayako, has anyone talked to her recently? Last I heard
(and this was almost two years ago), she was moving to New York.

Tell me about it. I joined TLUG in 2000, a couple of years past its
zenith, but things were pretty damned technical here at the time. Back
then, you could rarely go a day without seeing someone spew some hot
code into a post. Now... you might go a month or more without seeing
any. (Damnit B0ti, start posting random snippets of Gjiten or im-ja
code!)

I would love to read stuff like that, anytime you feel the need to
write it. I am a big fan of ESR's writing (at least the
technically-oriented stuff), and read Zawinski, and even a little site
called "Attitude". Post it, and the worst thing that can happen is
that *I* read it. ;)
