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.
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! =)
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!!!
Hemos is married
Maybe his wife will henpeck

(If you can't figure out how to E-Mail me, Don't.
Were you petrified? What about your wife?
Did you serve grits at the reception?
Sorry. Couldn't resist. But congrats, both.

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!

"...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!

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.

The least you fellas could do is show a little bit of journalistic initiative.
