I first used BSD 4.3 at UC Berkeley in 1986, and have been dabbling at various levels ever since.

A Joyous Walpurgisnacht to one and all!

Waking up on the morning of Easter Monday to find out that Pope Francis has died is giving me some deep feelings of sadness. And I'm not even Catholic.

Finding out that JD Vance had visited less than 24 hours previously is giving me the creeping horrors.

If you put infinite monkeys in a room with infinite typewriters, one will eventually write Hamlet.

The rest will write modern adaptations of King Lear.
