] Imric's Tips for Living
- Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
- Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
- Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Heh.. zIWE trains 'em up for Bigger Things
Google hits on:
Brandioch Conner: 657
Nick Petreley: 25,400
Probability of the two appearing on a Religious Forum: ~ 1 / [Avogadro's Number]
(Not that Nick needed zIWE for his famy, o' course..)
World gets smaller.. as Armani-suited Dinosaurs roam the Earth, eating anything $green$.

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Re: OT: Anybody spoken to Nick in a while?
Haven't spoken to him personally in awhile now, but I do regularlyn read a couple of his sites. He's now editor-in-chief of [link|http://www.tuxmagazine.com|Tux Magazine], still runs [link|http://www.varlinux.org|VARLinux], does Linux consulting and a couple of other things. Last I knew, he was living in the Kansas City, MO area.

One site is a 404
The religio one, petreley.org
(That may have just been therapeutic; but some pretty scary stuff, in an ink-blot frame of reference.)

Ooooh: IFS
Impecunious Facial Stabbing at [link|http://linux.sys-con.com/read/44793.htm| LinuxWorld] with links to Nick's article being rebutted. Something about GNOME, and its being the spawn of W95 and a PDP-8 copy of Space War.
Poor 'ol Rodney King and his touchingly-naive, Can we all just get along?
What a bunch of petulant BS; how is it different from 2 Evangelists deciding which will boil longer in Level 7 of the Inferno?

I talked to him about 9 months ago.
Yes, talked with him.
He is pretty much just paying bills and not much else. He is sick of the fight, though he still does.
Aside from that, there is the ongoing wife issue he prefers to not talk about.
Other than that, he just does the things he needs to, to get on with passing the time. Which can and does include computers, along with other things.
