    I'm glad you put the "of EXT3 fame" bit, I was worried the article might be talking about the infamous author.

    Although he might end up on the front page of /. if he writes an unauthorized biography of Mr. Gates, what kind of juice could be dragged up from the past... I wonder?

    I don't know about troll, but perhaps just an overactive imagination :)

    Apparently he works for a
    development firm,
    studies meterology,
    works for Verizon store at a local mall,
    owns a chain of pet stores in London, and
    has a thing for CmdrTaco.

    Read together, they make amusing reading :)

    the stability of these releases are questionable, and they have been known to cone dump into various output files.

    Cone dumping is a problem... hopefully, this new vehicle solves it.
