it was always fun when greg would show up when I was working at the OSDL (he worked across the parking lot from us). always in black pants, a white t-shirt with a pocket (usually holding a pack of cigarettes), and with his hair tied back.
always so humble, and dropping a ton of knowledge and advice. he really is the nice guy that his image projects.
- sohkamyung 5y ago> with his hair tied back I find this hard to reconcile with GregKH's current public image. :-)
- jerrysievert 5y agowow, I had not seen a picture of him since 2001, so 20 years? people change, and we were all young once!
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoWe're only distantly acquainted but I just wanted to say I'm happy to see you around :)
- jerrysievert 5y agowhy thank you! I'd say to look for me at bailey's on occasion, but alas those days are no more. perhaps when level 3 opens up, I'll make an appearance every once in a while!
- gregkh 5y agoWhile I did drop by a lot, you aren't describing me, but rather another Linux kernel developer who worked at IBM in our group at the time who is by far more brilliant and smarter than I. I've never smoked, and at that point in time, I did not have long hair anymore (cut it off when I turned 30 which was before OSDL was ever started.)
- jerrysievert 5y agothen I apologize for misdescribing you greg :) but the rest of the comment stands. sometimes things blur a little after 20 years.
