Slashdot Mirror
Hemos Gets Hitched
Today Jeffrey "Hemos" Bates got married to Adrienne Lane. We've posted several pictures for those of you who are visually inclined. I'd also recommend everyone send hemos@slashdot.org a congratulatory email to help celebrate this great occasion (and mainly because we wanna see how much mail we can get into his box). Now we're off to the reception ;) (BTW, thanks to CowboyNeal for getting these up asap. The photographers were me, Mandrake and Chris DiBona). Update: 06/25 03:01 by CT : The reception was nice. Keep those email to hemos coming.
Did you marry a geek chick??? =)
Wow, our little Hemos is growing up *tear*
Does this mean we're gonna see less of hemos?:)
she obviously married him for his *great* looks and *extreme* popularity on slashdot
ehehe..anyways..good luck!
Congratulations Hemos, All the best in the future!

Well, Mr. Hemos, one step further away from geekdom. Will your wife still let you come out and play every once in a while. :)

I'm wondering how Taco managed to attend the affair this afternoon AND post the OpenGL article at noon today.

Taco: "Excuse me, I have to, uh, go to the bathroom. .

Now /. is going to be clobbered with "ADRIENNE BATES NAKED AND PETRIFIED!" posts for the next week....
But seriously though, congrats!
did Hemos' wife-to-be refer to him as "Jeff 'Hemos' Bates" during the ceremony?
Another one bites the dust! :) :)
Anyways I sent the e-mail, lets see if we can slashdot his mailbox

Oh my god! we slashdotted ... Hemos? What's next, slashdotting slashdot itself?

I would suggest that you ignore the first image.

- 'JP'
How about you other slashdotters.. any ideas for baby names for the happy couple?Hurry up though.. I'm eagerally awaiting SlashBaby v1.0.. but will it be open sourced?
Actually, don't open source your kid. That's just icky. EWWW! =)
. . . does she have a sister? Please?

He's the guy who posts those really cool nanotechnology stories... no, wait, isn't that Timothy?
/. - right? So you must have posted *something* worthwhile, sometime or the other. But of course, today you're special because you're getting married, and all of your /. accomplishments don't come close to that special feeling. Congratulations!
OK, then, he's the one who comes up with all the inspiring campaigns about censorship and free speech... no, wait, that's emmett, isn't it?
Well, surely he must be the guy who is always posting long diatribes about the injustice of modern society and how technology shapes our society... no, wait, darn it! That's JonKatz.
Hmmmm. Well, Hemos, I'm sure I've seen your name somewhere or the other on

BTW, has anyone experienced any e-vacation or e-honey-moon that can suggest Hemos to try?

There is a mirror of the site being setup since it is currently slashdotted.
Please surf on over to http://www.nols.com/hemos
Why are the pictures so badly taken? It seems that every shot has someone's face pressed up right against the camera.
Congrats! She has a tat! Have a fun life.
to just 1 (one) picture of Hemos and Adrienne (together) which is in focus? Downloading tens of jpegs with most being bigger than 600Kb is not fun on a 28.8K connection. Cheers
And these few precepts in the memory,
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.The
friends thou has, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy pal with entertainment
Of each new-hatcht unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't, that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thine voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy
judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not exprest in fancy; rich not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous, chief in that.
Neither a borrow nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend;
and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all--
to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing to thee.
~Shakespeare, Hamlet Act 1 Scene 3
"I don't code the things you use, I make the code your things use better."®
Cool! Many congratulations to you both, and the best of luck!
Now, Hemos, tell me, what do you have to say to a girl to get her to kiss you?
It's been years...
I'm out of my tree just now but please feel free to leave a banana.
Less blurry close-ups of people's pores please, and more full body shots of the bride's maids.

It's always nice to put a face with the text... but in this case
Quake is open sourced now. You should have ported your pics into it and let us WALK THROUGH the church. Sheesh.
Seriously, congrats.
Let this man's dying body be a warning to the rest!
The exposure is a little off, but I like the quality of the pictures in general. Anyone know what kind of (digital, I'm assuming) camera they used?

Adrienne: "You mean, you're not related to the Microsoft guy?"
Hemos: "No."
Adrienne: "You mean you're not worth billions?"
Hemos: "Well, no - but I help run Slashdot.org (Rob & company smile and wave), and I've got a bunch of VA Linux stock!"
Adrienne: "How much is 'a bunch', and what's the closing price as of yesterday?"
(somebody runs off to find a paper for the quote while Jeff tells her how many shares he has)
Adrienne (after checking the number and calling her financial planner): "Oh, okay... I guess we'll keep going. But I want a house on a lake, too!"

Mad crazy high? um, before slashdot stopped allowing you to see other peoples Karma (a few weeks after it was instituted) Signal 11 had 249 Karma points. 49 is a very small number, and I'd bet that its probably in the bottom 10% - 20% of the regular slashdot posters karma.

How many people did you recognize there? (C'mon, I know that's why you were looking at most of the pictures - that's why I looked at more than just the happy couple.) I saw Rob and crew (big surprise), but I really think that the joker taking a picture of the camera was Mandrake, of Enlightenment fame. There's this shot of someone I'd swear is Geoff Harrison.
And after checking www.mandrake.net it seems that he did go to the wedding, which implies that the person he's standing next to is Tammy...

When I announced my marriage to my family, my uncle Bob looked me straight in the eye and said in a quiet voice: "Just remember -- you can always blow your own brains out."
These words have carried me through many years and the subsequent messy divorce. I hope they are equally as inspiring to you.

Alot of them look like she is downright terrified and digusted with being married. I hope it is just bad luck in the picture taking. And Anyrate, Congrats and good luck.

Remember Folks When snapping pictures, HOLD THE CAMERA STEADY!!! With my DC290 I am notorous for jiggling the camera before the shot is fully taken, due to the delay between pressing the button and the exposure being taken. End result: Pictures have lovely streaks and are blurry. Some camera are better than others (The Toshiba's are pretty good about this in my experience, and my Kodak is pretty bad) so the user needs to remember to HOLD STEADY when taking pictures. My Guess... Prolly a newbie used to a 35mm camera snaping picts. HTH

This may indeed be "news for nerds" because frankly only a nerd would care in the least but in my opinion it is not "stuff that matters". Neither I nor the vast majority of slashdot.org readers has ever met Hemos. Understand that the reader has no intention to do so and really wants to know as little as possible about this author. It is the content but not the creator of this site that appeals to me and other like myself. Would it not seem ridiculous any other respectable news source posted a reporter's personal affairs as a headline. Very disappointing considering that something else of importance was likely subverted by this piece.

Here's some of the best newlywed advice, I've ever seen.
Quoth the Penguin, "pipe grep more!"
Is it just me, or does it seem most of the pictures are sideways and blurry? Perhaps our fellow photographers decided to hit the bottle a little early? :-)
But even at that, congrats to you. So I guess this means geeks *can* get chicks afterall. Well, you know what they say, chix dig UNIX.

Granted, in this case it is a Western wedding, and therefore that's her father (or some other relative) alongside her.
Create a caption for this picture to describe what is running through Hemos's head.
BOIING!
People often portray marrage as an expression of love, it seems to me more like a fear of abandonment.
So what are we saying. Men only get married to get some snatch and women get married so that their chosen mate can't escape. Romance *is* dead.
Tell me I'm wrong. :(

thanks for proving the fact that geeks get laid too.
...and probably about the godzillionth to do so at this point, but wot de 'ell.
Now for the important question: which of the bridesmaids caught the bouquet, and is, she, um, looking? Not for me, mind you. I, um, have this cousin, really nice guy. Yeah, that's the ticket... ;)

Did anyone notice that Caesar, over at Ars Technica, also got hitched this weekend? Big nuptual spike for the geeks. Some thoughts on this:
1. Hemos == Caesar??? If so, what is he trying to hide with this double life? Perhaps he may be lying in wait, plotting for a day when he can control all technology news everywhere! Obviously this means he is a hitherto unsuspected player in the worldwide Amish conspiracy. Shame on you Hemos/Caesar! We're on to you!
2. The great triad. OK, assuming the previous isn't true (yeah, right!), there is an old belief that events of similarity tend to come in threes. So, who was the geek news stringer to complete the hat-trick? Did Tom Pabst perhaps run off with that attractive young web designer he's been seeing? Perhaps one of the compatriots over at geek.compull a coup by wooing Stevie Case over to the light side? Where, my friends, where?!?
3. Elitism rampant on /.? Hundreds of wedding pics. Each over 100 MB. No thumbnails. Obviously hemos wants to share his wedding bliss ONLY with those worthy, i.e. those with enough bandwidth to not only siew the images quickly, but quickly enough to sort the good pictures from the blurry, jostly stuff. I wonder why.... perhaps a target list of people willing to run WorldDomination@home for his masters in the black suits and buggies? (Sorry, have I covered this topic?)
Well, that's all I can think of write now. I'm sure more will come to me when the medication wears off.
