As I mentioned in another item, I watched Revolution OS again recently .. well, yesterday. I have decided to put together a page somewhere to “honor” these individuals … I myself don’t think I am of the abilty to contribute to their source tree, so I at least can honor them by educating people, however much I can, in the ways that these things came about and why it is how things came to be in the online world. It is of my opinion that the World Wide Web exists due to the government, universities and Unix hackers. Either that or Al Gore … It is a great story how hobbyist hackers influenced mainstream corporate America … and this took place world-wide … But after all, Linus Torvalds moved to America …

Interview Time?
Took my sleepy Monday with me down to the computer room about 1pm, and there was Mike working on the paper … He had arrived around 11:30am I guess … I moved the mice on the machines to wake up the screens, and I guess this activated myself as being “around” on the chat engines cause my “buddy” asked me if his work had called me for an interview … Of course there was an email from him at 7:44am, but who gets up that early? Actually, I usually would have got that a couple hours before I went to bed, but last night was bumming on the couch and watching movies that I’ve already seen … 7:44am? Do people regularly get up that early? I mean, every day? … and at that time have the faculties to send email? … Wow!
Site Updates
Have been making some site updates on the main ICUHost.Net web site … Guess it’s about time that I give the FreeBSD portion of the network its due … Plus there were some old email addresses on there that still pointed to the .com domain … Although they were still good, I just thought it should all be .net … It’s genuinely tough to express what it is that makes us any different from any other web hosting provider … Especially given the fact that it’s from a hobbyists point of view mainly … Read “hobbyist” as hacker … I hack these machines to work together in what I feel is the proper manner in which to satisfy the needs of myself and hope that that genuinely relates into the way that others would want things … I watched Revolution OS again … It is truly a great piece of work …
