    Time to toot my own horn. My Blog has my account of the FASB meeting.

    The article I wrote on the meeting is available here. :wq

  2. This place is just as cool as it sounds. by VonGuard · · Score: 1 · on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

    Well, i've been working at the ACCRC For over a year and a half now. It's a terrific place. Most of our volunteers come from the homeless shelter next to our building. It's amazing how much people can leanr when they're immersed in technology so completely.

    A couple of answers to previously proposed questions. The Athlon 850's and motherboards for them were graciously donated by AMD for use in our cluster. They also gave us a good deal of PC100 dimms to help us expand the cluster. 3Com donated all of our switches and ethernet cards.

    Microsoft has never contacted us, nor are they likely to. I find it highly unlikely that they would attempt to shut us down because we distribute Linux. SuSe Gave us 30,000 boxed copies of 7.0 in its various incarnations, and this is the OS we distribute. We'd love to get any other distributions we could, but for now, we will use SuSe because we have a buttload of it.

    Now, some related links! Webcams In the Ministry of Truth, AKA the media lab at the ACCRC.

    Buy Shit from the ACCRC here. Extremely disorganized, just like the warehouse is.

    Anyone in the bay area is invited to come by and check us out. We are open from 10-5 weekdays and 12-5 saturdays. We invite anyone to volunteer, no matter what your skill level is. Also, if you would like to send us your equipment for a donation and a tax write-off, send it to our street address, not our post office box.

    Thank you ve5ry much for all your enthusiasm. We need volunteers badly! Volunteers get digging rights!!!!
