My reciprocal appreciation to Fury, Atlanta/n, and Meester (and my many other friends on Hacker News).
I deeply appreciate the kindness and support of the hacker community - sends me back thirty five years to when I was fooling with a Unix workstation and stumbled on a small accounting error. Back then, I was surprised by the outpouring of help, suggestions, and collaboration from other computer folk.
At this moment, I again thank this community -- across decades and across the globe, I'm heartened and happy to be one of the gang.
Warm wishes all around,
-Cliff
- omgJustTest 5y agoTheir blackhead remover product might be brand hijacking, but their ACME Remover Product! it's the real deal. Just see this review of their product: "100% success at removing ACME (Klein bottles) from some kids, parents, even works on some websites!" -Cliff Stoll (He did not say this, its a joke!)

- cwkoss 5y agoYou seem like a really cool and interesting person, Cliff. Do you still use the RC mini forklift for storage? I've always thought that seemed like a lot of fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg6woZULFeM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg6woZULFeM
