Thanks @CliffStoll for the wonderful talk.
- CliffStoll 1mo agoQuite welcome, Red Beard. I had fun doing that spoutathon. Meeting old friends at DefCon. Way fun.
- Moru 1mo agoYes, thank you! Our whole family of nerds enjoyed it and I had to explain quite a few things to daughter but not the over head projector at least, she did bump into that tech in school for some art project. She just installed linux on the laptop for university study and got to hear about what people used before "more" and "less" :-)
- CliffStoll 1mo agoSmiles to you and your family, Moru — you’re now passing along the good word to the next generation. Heart be still…
- Quai 1mo agoYou are on my short-list of people I look up to. Thank you!
- CliffStoll 1mo agoDoes “short” modify “list” or “people” ?
- flaschenoeffner 1mo agoWhat a great talk. I read The Cuckoo's Egg in Spring '90. Changed my life. Thanks.
- chris_wot 1mo agoYou are a wonderful, wonderful person. Your book is one of my favourite books I've read, ever. Thank you so much for writing it!
- CliffStoll 1mo agoYour kindness reflects back to you, Chris: I thank you for brightening my morning. Now, if only I had a biscotti…. -Cliff
- JKCalhoun 1mo agoGod damn, this world needs more Cliff Stolls.
- soltanov 1mo ago@CliffStoll did you talk with Markus Hess. i think he is active on thewilyhacker.de?
- caned 1mo agoYou are an inspiration, Cliff! I also read your book as a child in the early 90s. I had dreams of hanging out in Berkeley and hacking on Unix. I eventually did both, and it has shaped my whole career. I've been blessed. My son is a big fan of yours, too. I'm going to show him this talk. Thank you for all that you do!
