Me Oh Me Oh My, Malda Gets Married
For those of you who remember one of our most famous
stories, the culmination of said event has happened. The team, plus other friends gathered in scenic Las Vegas this past weekend. The wedding
happened on Sunday, 4:11 local time (would have been 4 sharp, 'cept the
cabbie bringing the bride got lost). For those of you are nice, you can
send congrats to Rob at wedding@malda.org or be a big meanie,
like me, and send it to his regular
address, like he has done to me. More detail below for
other ways - and you can tell Kathleen what a mistake she's made *grin*. And pictures are found online, along with some video.
Wedding was held at the Excalibur Hotel, which was nice. If you want to send postal congrats/bundt cake/fondue pots/yet more place mats, I've included the postal address.

I couldn't possibly get first post on this? That would be an all-time honor!
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
woo hoo!!
have fun you two!
This could be my chance to get rid of that never-before-used fondue set sitting in my basement.
But then again, I bet CowboyNeal would appreciate it more!

But in all seriousness, congradulations CmdrTaco! I'll check out the pictures when the site is no longer slashdotted.

Based on the response to the initial announcement, I'm thinking it might be prudent to mirror the pictures. Anyone get them before the raging hordes incinerate the server?
>> the culmination of said event has happened
That was way, way, way more than I needed to know.
Well at least we dont have to wonder who's getting first post. ;]
Dear Taco,
Congratulations! We may not always agree with your opinions/story selection/spelling/etc, but none of that is important in the long run. Marriage is one of those things that's truly important, and today we unite to wish you and Kathleen a long and happy life together.
Love,

Thank you Rob and god bless you and your family.
Looking for people to chat about multicopters, coding, music. skype: gtsiros
So we get a bunch of shots of Malda striking poses for the camera before the ceremony, but no pictures of the bride at all. There is a handheld shaky video taken as she walks down the aisle, but it's hard to see what she looks like. And in the other video (goonandkissthebride.mpg) we see the back of her head!
Isn't the bride supposed to be the focal point at a wedding? Shouldn't she at least get equal billing?
Come on, show us how beautiful she is!
The first person to drive the beautiful Mrs. Malda to file for a restraining order gets their name in a slashdot story.
Or.... is that how Rob met his better half?
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
My congratulations to both of them and hope that /. and you will still be here to speak about grandsons and all the interesting things that ocurred since a few students decided to play news for nerds and stuff that matters.
Malda, from the pictures it looks like you wore white socks! Way to go! Hope it brings the same luck for you as it did my friends and i back in HS!

Either way, we all wish you joy without end. And I'm sure your buds at blockstackers will forgive you for inviting so many guests to the reception-server and reducing it you a pile of smoking slashdot'ed slag. whoohoo!

I got married at Paris Las Vegas last month, it would have been Excalibur if I'd had any say in the matter.
Still, at least Paris has a geek friendly automated monorail system for getting the bride there on time!

Argh, the pages have already been slashdotted! So I guess I'll just picture the wedding in my head...

Hey Rob...congrats. Why would anyone want to send you email though is beyond me.
I can see it now.
mailto:malda@slashdot.org
Hi Rob, It's Em. I just wanted to congratulate you on your wedding. Oh, you dont remember me? I'm user 452530?? Remember, I once got first post on that article about that thing? Remember? Oh. Well, congrats anyway.
Sent from your iPad.
I was wondering what happened to the Posted by CmdrTaco
stories, with all the requisite misspellings, this week.
So what if it is a "personal site"? Would you prefer a fully-automated newsbot like Google News, perhaps?
One of the reasons I've become hooked on Slashdot is the unpredictably "personal" nature of its editors. It's never knowing what's going to be on the homepage next that keeps me coming back.
I am proud to be a "subscriber"... $5 didn't hurt that much. I may send in another five-spot to help pay for the bandwidth overload this story appears to be generating!
Congratulations to the newlyweds, and keep the pictures coming! (sorry, but someone had to include that link...)
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
and my coworkers to look stupid at me... :,-)
And pictures are found online, along with some video.
Oh, not those kind of videos? Well crap...Congrats Anyway!

Well I have all of it in my cache, but I noticed that someone switched in some more bandwith while I was download, so it should be safe for everyone to go take a look.
A list of upcoming features:
- Coordinated color schemes, heavy on earth tones and pastels. White is out as a background color this season, and those BSD colors have got to go.
- New moderation options: +1 Sweet, +1 Thoughtful, +1 Caring, and -1 You Don't Smile Like That To Me Anymore.
- A new built-in calendaring system with an auto-reminder app, featuring reminders for Valentines Day, Our First Date, and That Time You Said I Love You For No Reason.
- Moderation will now include an "Express Your Feelings" textbox, where the moderator must explain and justify their moderation in 250 or more words before they are counted. All Moderations will still be subject to Meta-Moderation, which will itself include a "We Need to Talk" textbox for similar purpose.

Now CmdrTaco, I asked before and I asked again... how does one go about getting a girl to like geeks like us, let alone marry us?
"Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it." -- Linus Torvalds
Quoting from a wise person...."Rob keep yourself on the bottom" not that way, but cherish your wife and love, esteem her, and look for her needs above your own.
Searching for Kathleen Fent on Google images gives just two pictures: One joystick, and a security lock. Could someone please explain the symbols?
I have to ask why there is a camera inside the chapel. Is this supposed to curb alter boy molestations by catching them on tape? Or is this some new way for the church to make money by selling the security tapes of your wedding to you and your family?
i got one of the 1.1mb images (a grainy 1600x1200), convert'ed it down to 640 at 90% quality (finally 30k), and Im still scared as all fuck of mirroring it on my server. I know it'll bring down my entire campus network..probably... ;-)

"I do."
"No repeat after me.. with this token ring I thee wed..."

First, you have to make one of those iDVD-type DVDs of the wedding, with all sorts of footage and slide shows and all.

Hmmm, one wonders how many nice shiney new toasters they have (possibly with onboard NIC's).
Somebody was also mentioning a collection of AOL CD's, perhaps we could a wedding donation. If I were rich, I'd send them a laptop or two, but I suppose that I will have to think up a suitably geeky-but-affordable present otherwise.

My gambling addict former boss got married in Vegas. He had an 11th grade education, married a junkie whore, and then came home and continued gambling until she stole his shit and kicked him out.
So, Vegas is really a classy fucking place to get married.
you've been warned
Congrats Rob and Kathleen. Now we just have to await the announcement of your first kids. Maybe the first one should be named 'Linus' eh?
Seriously though, all joking aside, congratulations to you both and I wish you all the best of luck and happiness. Glad you two found each other.

BTW: This isn't a job for GIMP... mogrify does a really nice job of bulk translation...
Once you've saved the (massive) jpeg files, you can do the following: mogrify -resize 14.6666% *.jpg/ wedding/&"><IMG src="&">&</a><BR>_' > index.html
mkdir smaller
for i in *.mgk ; do mv $i smaller/${i%mgk}jpg ; done
cd smaller
ls | sed '%s_.*_<a href="http://spiderling.blockstackers.com/\~hemos
in the sed script, I'm using _ instead of / for obvious reasons (there are slashes all over the edit string). The result should be your own index with smaller pictures (you might want to change the 14.6666% to 33.333 or 50%......
I put the result on my ISPs personal web service
Larger versions (33%) of the pics are there too. Mogrify also seems to do a pretty good job of JPEG compression overall....
I leave it as an exercise for the reader to rotate the thinker image right side up (gotta get to work).

As a present to you on your wedding, we, the Slashdot community as a whole, wish to give you this: the slashdotting of your pic/video server.

Or perhaps it was really late into the night?

For whatever reason, slashdot is putting space between 'hemos/' and 'wedding' in the sed string. You'll have to remove it manually.

Uhm...it appears you have a pussy on your chin. There is an episode of South Park where Butters has a prosthetic scrotum on his chin. While funny that you have put a spin on this theme with your homage I do not find it appropriate for a wedding day.
I wish you luck in your attempt at happiness.

Congratulations are in order!
I couldn't help but notice that with the addition of a mustache, Rob would look uncannily close to Hitler.
Congratulations, Mein Fuhrer!
Okey-dokey! Guys, gather 'round the 'puter.
Now. Once upon a time there was a young guy. A guy full of hope. He was single, thus he was happy.
Then one night, much like tonight, something rose from the swamp. He heard a noise behind him, thump-thump, thump-thump. He walked a little faster, thump-thump, thump-thump.
Then he saw it. And there, in the light of a bar, stood the evil, big-haired, high-heeled, spandex monster.
He ran from it, he stood it up, he dated others, but nothing could stop it!
He could hear it's wild call [in a higher voice] "Oh, Honey! Honey!"
It was horrible!
Finally, it trapped him. Opened, opened it's hideous mouth, bared its fangs and said... "Marry me?"
(And did he marry it?)
Yes, I'm afraid he did.
And he was never heard from again.
But the worst of it is, there's still some of them out there. There might be one behind you now! (Scream and look around.)
Then again, there may not be. But beware. Wherever a man is free and has change in his pockets, they'll come a-creeping and the can't be stopped.
Now sleep, if you can...

Get over yourself dude. By putting the wedding stuff on here they're admitting that there's more that matters to 'nerds' than just technology.
There are practical reasons that we can not take an interest in everyone's wedding here, but it's nice to see that the subject got a teensy bit of attention anyway. Besides, it helps dispel the whole anti-social nerd image.
Get the point now? I think the bottom line here is that if you want to be the hard-bitten anti-social nerd that you pretend, then you ought not to be here anyway. Why socialize, even online, if you don't care? If you're that far gone, no one will notice anyway, so just who are you threatening with your I start to lose interest in Slashdot quote anyway? Get a grip..
Please mod this post only if you think others should/n't read this. I have enough ego^H^H^Hkarma. Thanks!
Sorry bitch - the vitriol is warranted.
I have a wife, friends, good paying job - and I get paid to point out your complete and total adherence to a lame, geek shit culture gets you NOTHING in the end.
I come here to remind myself how lucky I am, but I am about to raise the bar - I mean even IRC is better than this pit of despair.
I am happy to say I never was a geek. You geeks are just dumb motherfuckers. Like stupid lamer version of nerd.
Happy Birthday everybody!
I was at the wedding myself and I'd have to say CowboyNeal really likes shrimp. Anyhoo congrats to Hemos and CmdrTaco for continuing the charade that is their heterosexuality.
PS: All jokes aside really congrats and I hope the marriage lasts longer then Slashdot's credibility.

Crap. You're right. I was editing two or three other 'rants' to garnish my revulsive vitriolic response to Malda's pathetic ignoramus-simpleton--fat-lame-geek people wedding.
I chose portions from a "I was a vet and your communist and socialist crap makes me mad" rant. I didn't have time to completely fix all the references.
So that being saidm, I stand by the whole rant with regard to Malda the stupid perl "hacker" whose ego is far bigger than Slashdot is in reality. 100,000 are *not* going to eulogize this idiot's funeral. He won't impact the world significantly, and all the bleating mediocritomatons here who prop him up are kneeling at the foot of a FALSE IDOL.
Repent, or pay the price: Fat, sexless, jobless, owning VA Linux Stock [hahahahahahahahahaha] and forced to default to a fat white trash half wit who thinks anime is cool. He still need anime, which sucks, and idiots like it, but he still needs tentacle rape, bukake, homosexual anime and eating human sushi anime because his sex life is non existent because Michigan has laws with people fucking developmentally disabled or retarded people, which is what Fent is.
We can only hope the insanity will end, FreeBSD will prevail, and these fucking pussy bitches who are men that cower like woman and ruminate online about "issues" can get back to DOING SOMETHING FOR A LIVING.
Jesus Christ. You all realize that Malda and that rat pack of losers would NEVER be able to be programmers or journalists? They could never get paid to do it. WE underwrite their fat sexless creed and then they misrepresent on Tech TV!

No, no it didn't. It looked like he wanted to emphasize certain words. Doing this with either capital or bold letters is perfectly acceptable, and to literate people doesn't look funny.

yeesh - a noon wedding is better than 3hrs before sunrise in the winter.
Hopefully it was more like a 503... and I can't imagine Malda would marry a girl without an integrated PDA/cell phone tucked away in her wedding dress somewhere, so there was probably a Retry-After header present too.
Many congrats to the happy couple... I'll look at the photos next week :-)
If I ever did what CmdrTaco did, my girlfriend will divorce me.
nonononono.
4 - have children.
5 - fuck children repeadedly in the formative years and sell kiddie porn tapes.
6 - sell children to chinese slave trade.
7 - profit!
I'm sure a guy like Malda is capable of this. He like tentacle rape human sushi anime so....
about the pruple heart, its the most awarded medal in the military here. there are tons of PH, you see the special PH license plates all over.

you are a toilet bowl rim licker, you know, like when after the piss spray is there and some spatter marks from the poopstains.
So much anger!
But you're right on at least the first point... marriage IS only important to those that get married.
I withdraw my congratulations from the grandparent 'generic' congratulation note... I'm here on slashdot too, and your butt-kissing note draws me into your opinions, which I consider invalid.
I'll save my congrats for the divorce in two years. And if they actually stay married for even five years, THEN they'll deserve congratulations.
He asks the girl to marry him, and then, in true /. style, he forgets he asked her, and the same marriage proposal shows up 2 days later with all the slashdotters yelling DUPE! That CmdrTaco...
seriously though, why is /. involved in this? if iw as her, id think i was caught on stage and this whole this is a display. its a crude display. my guess is that they dont have much in common now, check out Fents webpages on sarcasta.net, these are two lonely hollow shells of humans who find that with each other, they arent alone. this is not a real relationship, and i never heard of anyone telling of a decades old relationship that is still going strong and it was a lot of fun starting at a marriage in vegas. this is all a display, a truman show-esque display.
Nothing new here... move along.
I hate to break it to you, but CmdrTaco and Hemos didn't live in the Geek compound, they lived in the Greek compund, if you catch my drift...
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Not too bright, huh. The joke was intentional.

Now maybe Rob will take out the trash right after Kathleen does it or help around the house cleaning right after the maid leaves...
Better yet maybe he will do the deed right after the milk man sneaks out the back door.

Just kidding of course congrats you geeks.

lol.... It wasn't intended as flamebait. I simply can't stand the celebrity culture, and especially the self-made celebrity culture in which people like Rob use their positions in one domain (news for nerds editor) to create reputation in other areas (family man, leftist shill) that have nothing to do with the first.
Of course, he couldn't do this if Slashdot were filled more with the types of people who follow actual news for nerds and fewer of the types of people who like being part of a cult of personality.
Rob did a great thing in founding Slashdot, because it gave geeks a place to gather and share ideas more efficiently, and to create political clout for those issues that affect all geeks equally. It seems everything else he's done, however, is simply self-aggrandizement and ego-stroking to achieve his own non-geek-related personal and political goals.
Once he cuts that shit out, I'll have a lot more respect for this site. Until then, I'm going to continue to be a voice of dissent.

"[A] high IQ is like a Jeep; you will still get stuck, just farther from help!" --Just d' FAQs, c.g.a
this is all a display, a truman show-esque display.
I'd be more inclined to believe it's the result of so much forced christianity in our past... people today just don't even THINK living without marriage is possible, and many get married to the first person they can live with for six months.
If people got married ONLY because they honestly, sincerely believed it was the right thing for them to do (i.e: actually involves THINKING HARD about what you really want, so I expect I'll never see this day), and they've lived with their partner for well over two years, then there'd be a hell of a lot less divorce.
Thank you for the tip I hadnt even noticed:P I made that gfx in a hurry and didnt bother spell checking. w00ps
