Dinner and a book

Had Michael Hart, inventor of the e-book and founder of Project Gutenberg over for dinner last night. Scads and scads of fun were had. We've known him for years and he's the right kind of crazy. Which reminds me...

GO GET SOME FREE E-BOOKS.

FUCK GOOGLE AND THEIR RECENT "OH, LOOK AT ALL THE FREE UNCOPYRIGHTED BOOKS WE HAVE!" BULLSHIT.

GUTENBERG HAS 28000 / 100000 AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOREVER AND THEY DON'T USE PROPRIETARY FILE FORMATS THAT WILL BE USELESS ONE DAY.

Also, they fucking share as opposed to hoard.

And yes, we forgot about and subsequently over-steamed the carrots.



Might shoot a SYDHT tonight. It'll be kinda a pick-up version where I try a number of little things, since I have a big SYDHT event planned...gotta get the other four people together for it...
