Happened to stumble across this Nashua Telegraph story about Jon Hall, a famous/infamous Unix lover here in the Granite State, and the story of his fight to keep Unix free and the signifiance of putting 'UNIX' on a New Hampshire license plate. Here is one such excerpt:

"Negotiations between DEC and AT&T were proceeding so slowly that the exasperated Stettner, tired of saying "not yet," had the brilliant idea of making fake versions of his license plate.

Queried onstage at a software conference about when Unix licenses would be available, he cried "Right now!" – which, according to Hall, practically produced a heart attack in DEC lawyers in the audience, who knew that corporate negotiations were still going on.

Stettner whipped out the fake plates, there was pandemonium among the crowd of programmers (who love a good pun as much as they love a free trinket), and a cult was born."

We don't do a ton here with Unix/Linux, but anytime you can give a shoutout to a fellow web geek fighting the good fight in New Hampshire, you have to do it. 

In an industry such as ours, computer humor can be pretty funny. Who among us hasn't dealt with situations like this one? A find courtesy of developer John Norton, please enjoy 'Your My Documents'.

This will upset our resident Mac lover. Apple continues to change the face of the planet with extreme usability. Sorry Thomas - but this is funny. More...

El Presidente decided that we should have our weekly company meeting at Stadium Ten Pin here in Manchester and then, bowling a few games. We divided the company up into three groups and went at it, bowling two strings of games with mixed teams. More...
