Once upon a time, I was sitting in my shack in Home Park when I got a random call from an independent tech recruiter. During the discussion, I mentioned my involvement in the Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech, at which point suddenly we were discussing Nick Black's life story, which was kind of weird (I guess I was mostly listening and not talking). I don't know why the conversation took that turn, I didn't initiate the topic change. We never actually talked about the job the recruiter was calling me about, and I never heard from the recruiter again after that. To this day I think I still don't really understand what happened.

- ethbr0 3y agoThe trick was to have a broken window pane that you patched with duct tape and cardboard. Not one break in! Figured no one thought we were worth it. Although we were two houses across the street from Kool Korner, so maybe that was the "nicer" part of Home Park?
- tbrake 3y agoMaybe it's cleaned up since the early 00's. We were over near Rocky Mountain. I should have been more precise re: break-ins, meaning more car break-ins. No idea what the home rate was, but every other week there were 1-2 cars missing windows around Lynch.
