@freakazoid Is that what geist is up to these days? That genius is a legend in my book! I think we originally crossed paths on #sfrivethead

IIRC geist worked on:

BeOS, Danger's HipTop/Sidekick OS, iOS (quit about a week/month before the iPhone announcement claiming Apple was one of the worst companies to work for and I believe it), WebOS, NewOS, and was super helpful to n00bz on #osdev on freenode and such too. I am probably missing some projects too, super personable and helpful!

Admittedly, what brought me to idlenet was #sfrivethead.

The channel didn't start there (neither did #bantown I don't think?). It ended up there.

After idlenet went offline I don't seem to recall anyone caring enough to revive the channels (hardly more than two) it hosted.
