Merry Christmas Everyone
So I'm wandering off to my rapid-fire trio of family festivities today, but I figured before I hit the road I'd wish my slightly more extended family a Merry Christmas (or kurt@thepope.org or Annual Gift Giving Day or whatever the hell else you choose to celebrate or not celebrate around this time of year). Hope you get a day (or at least a few hours) off, and that you don't get snowed in (especially if you live in California). Hope Santa leaves you a wearable PC that is capable of running Linux, or an Aibo, or maybe a shiny new DIMM under your tree... or for the more paranoid, 600 gallons of pure drinking water and lots of ammo!
Best wishes to all of you (except the flamers: may you get a lump of coal).
HO HO HO! Hope you got lots of toys under your tree, a bunch of kids ripping paper everywhere, and the kitty cats having a ball with the torn up paper, or dogs, or whatever you have around the house! Thanks for the cookies and milk! Yum, yum!
Santa was here! hehehe...
(don't forget to log out!)
Just kidding... Merry Christmas, Best Wishes, and happiest of holidays to all of you and yours (well, most of you)... May your segfaults be quick and painless, and your core dumps be merry.
To those of you running Win**, may your BSODs be just a shade brighter, and your security holes be just a little smaller.
Once again, happy holidays (applicable to whatever you celebrate).
This week I was faced with the death of my grandmother and the death of a couple of friends. I guess I am starting to learn the value of friends and family. At the risk of sounding cliche...sometimes you really don't appreciate what you have until it's gone.
r s tell your family and friends that you love them. Tell them how much they mean to you. Don't waste a second you have with them. Don't panic for Y2K...Don't stock pile guns and ammo...Don't contribute to the hysteria. Don't take life for granted. Have a wonderful day today...and a wonderful week before the new millenium. See you all in postings.
I don't have a devote faith to any religion. I was raised Jewish by my step father. But by choice I am more a Humanist. I try to behave decent and morally without any expectation of reward or punishment in the after life. I have been doing a great deal of reflecting this week and next year I am going to start living more for the moment. I will try to appreciate what I have more, and never hold back the truth.
