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??? =)
she obviously married him for his *great* looks and *extreme* popularity on slashdot
ehehe..anyways..good luck!
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. .
Hemos: "But it's almost time for the ceremony! And why do you need your laptop? Rob? Rob! Get back here!"
-- Imagine how much more advanced our technology would be if we had eight fingers per hand.
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?
So when does Hemos' old Geek Compound room go up on eBay?
And I'm only half joking =)

Despite what others say
You'll always have one who knows
Hemos doesn't 'sux'

However, it is important to put some effort into the most important thing yet: baby names! Here are some suggestions:
- SlashKid
- 'dot'
- Linus (Yeah, I know)
- '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?

This one seems to fit the situation:
"When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane,
most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear
that they will remain in that exalted, abnormal, and exhausting condition
continuously until death do them part."
- George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) "Getting Married" (1908)
So I wrote you a haiku instead!!!

Hmmmm, it's just a shot in the dark, but I'm guessing Hemos' wife is PROBABLY the one in the wedding dress.

Here's a picture of the happy couple (it's not exactly the best shot, but at least you can see both of them).
Were you petrified? What about your wife?
Did you serve grits at the reception?
Sorry. Couldn't resist. But congrats, both.

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.
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?

Hemos gets married
Slashdotters offer congrats;
Then, take out his site.
Congratulations!

Speaking of which, did this guy get any decent photos? Could you post those?

Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
10) "All I wan too sey is, 'god joob!'"
9) perl -e "print 'Congratulations To The Bates\''"
8) Why do all your wedding invitations say "Copyright Andover.net"?
7) We all know how these Internet mergers go--right now they are Bates-Lane, but in 9 months I'm sure they'll spin off a "joint venture".
6) This just in from ESR: Hemos "gets it".
5) Your wedding night is no time to find out why Hemos is so interested in nano-everything.
4) On the other hand, it's better than Rob's obsession with "quickies".
3) So this is gonna be an Open Source marriage, right? Which one is the "benevolent dictator"?
2) Katz gave a beautiful toast: We geeks gather here today, among geeks, to celebrate the union of two structs, I mean geeks, in holy matrimony.
1) Hemos sux!

Nevertheless, congratulations, you bastard. I hope this girl knows what she's getting into. Maybe she'll make a new man out of you... and correct/verify the articles you post to Slashdot (grin).
Have fun, and don't have any little Hemos' yet... I don't think the world could quite bare it! Hope you enjoy one helluva wedding night, if you catch my drift. Keep that bag of viagra handy.

Mrs. Hemos -- a word of advice -- when your new husband starts to step into phone booths every time there is an emergency, start following him.

Seriously, congrats Jeff.

"...this man, Jeff, 'Hemos' Bates, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Adrienne: "Bates? I thought you said your name was 'Jeff Gates'?!!
Hemos (wipes brow nervously): "No, sweetie, you must have mis-heard me that night..."
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!"
Congrats, Hemos. Welcome to the marriage club. Just remember the words, "Yes dear", and it'll be a terrific life for both of you!

Who is that girl? How old is she? And is she spoken for?
I don't have any stock options but I can cook and do laundry. Plus, I have a tongue piercing. And I have a Ultra Wide SCSI hard drive to compensate for the tinyness of my bandwidth (56K).
Oh, and I like to cuddle.
If you're wondering about the size, it is 1/3 size for the larger images. It's also small enough to fit in my web allocation (on two differnt accounts).
If you're wondering about the two different sizes, it looks like they were using two different cameras with two different resolutions.

I do not like Microsoft. Remove them from my email address.
Come on, guys .. I read this last week on ZDNet.
.. congratulations, dude. :-)
The least you fellas could do is show a little bit of journalistic initiative.

I loved the pics with the sneakers...
It reminded me of High School Days (Mid 80's) when all we... (geek/nerd/semi-jocks who played soccer/ski-racers/tennis....) wore were Adidas Sambas... The reason They Lasted for at least 3 years, (well before they moved the factory from France to Taiwan) and you could always remove the 3 white stripes and heel print with some black shoe polish and voila.... Dress shoes that you could scrimmage with less than 2 minutes after whatever dress-up function you had to go to...
I found them handy for running block-tackle as I dragged my best friend from his *first* wedding

I will share with you some words of wisdom that I received when I got married.
:)
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.
Genocide Man -- Life is funny. Death is funnier. Mass murder can be hilarious.
And who would these grammar usage people be?
Or maybe you meant "We have to think about GRAMMAR usage, people!" :)
-------------------------------
Congratulations, Hemos! I wish you both my best.
What about the bachelor party? Why wasn't this discussed?
Talk about getting slashdotted....
Congrats, I hope to be entering the ranks of the institutionalized (marriage is, they say, an institution) before long...
ZOMG I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ON MACINTOSH VERSUS WINDOWS, VI VERSUS EMACS, AND HOW YOU'RE NOT A DORK
I suggest naming any sprogs that may happen "Custard" so when fighting over the kid after the divorce you can say you're fighting for "custody of custard"

Here's some of the best newlywed advice, I've ever seen.
Quoth the Penguin, "pipe grep more!"
Granted, in this case it is a Western wedding, and therefore that's her father (or some other relative) alongside her.
