Woa, the temp in Marshall McKusick's wine cellar is higher than his hot tub!

Apparently the hot tub is in the wine cellar with a few ice cubes in it :P

Just cracked The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System. Fuckin stoked

Glad the rando telnet to wine cellar service has remained as available as the critical and relevant info in this classic text :)

My first CS book was K&R. Warm and fuzzy feelings learning how such brilliant engineering is connected

@slackz It's probably the thermal inertia keeping the hot tub water cooler while the wine cellar heated up a bit.

Kirk was in Ottawa at BSDCan all week.

@kurtm so jealous. Have never had a strong urge to go to a tech conf, but BSDCan was beckoning. Was too far with too little time to prep unfortunately, but I def wanna be at the next BSD conf if poss :)

@slackz BSDCan is definitely worth it. A couple of years ago I was drinking at the pub with Steven Bourne 😁

@kurtm did you get all bashful? :D

Stephen Bourne: SHhhh, that's not a good joke. Let's hash this out and get to the root of the matter - I'm talkin the whole shebang.

@slackz Bash wasn't his though 😀

Next day he saw me and said "Hey! It's one of my drinking buddies!" 😀😀

@kurtm lol I know. That's why I said "SHhh, that's not a good joke" but I should have said "that's not even an accurate joke ".

I was legit concerned about the ambiguity and you have rightly made it clear :P

@slackz Here, I'll make you feel better.

I told a story about someone asking if Bourne "was the bash guy" to an old Unix-head and they pointed out I had just slipped and done the same thing 😀

@kurtm lol in defense of anyone who makes that mistake, bourne shell and bash shell sound pretty similar, and with diff OS defaults with diff terminal emulators, not always clear for ppl that a $SHELL of /bin/sh != /bin/bash (until you get more into shell scripting and startup config customization, etc)

Lol, getting into programming and *nix is hard enough w/o ppl feeling scared about making utterly understandable mistakes :P

I'm about that history though; enjoy learning more all the time 💻📚
