Unfortunately, they do *not* supply the necessary chemical augmentation.
Beer not included (not even suboptimal American "beer"). YMMV. Not valid
where prohibited.

Hey, Alan, you don't happen to have a fictitious Nova Scotian long- 
lost shed-dwelling kitty-fancying brother named Bubbles (surname  
unknown) who steals grocery carts, fixes them up, and sells them  
back, do you?


I was just wondering, since I'm watching _Trailer Park Boys_ Season  
4, and I was struck by the uncanny similarities between the Bubbles- 
Conky relationship and the Alan-Chuckie relationship.

P.S.  And if you don't know _Trailer Park Boys_ (which is probably  
like 99% of you) it's a Canadian sitcom about a bunch of dope-growing  
losers^W^W^Wagricultural entrepreneurs living in Sunnyvale Trailer  
Park somewhere near Halifax.  Netflix will happily send you at least  
the first four seasons.

The Reedster is a native of PA.  He's just, for some unknown reason, a 
lifetime Packers fanatic.  Go figure.

For those who are new, that's not a reference to Reed Mullins' content or 
presentation style (both of which are consistently excellent), but rather to 
his often-noted Wisconsin Cheesehead origins.

SHARE - announcing the Linux and VM Program Opening and Worldwide News session

2007-08-09 Thread James Vincent
SHARE attendees - for those of you new to SHARE and the Linux and VM Program
and even all of you repeat SHARE attendees, we have a new and improved
opening session for you!

Session 9051 on Monday at 8am - Linux and VM Program Opening and Worldwide
News

This session will contain some of the good ol' news updates on hot-topic
sessions like the 35th VM Birthday Bash or last-minute revisions to the
schedule (which I promised to keep as brief as I can!) along with
information from IBM on Important Things to know in the realm of Linux and
VM.

New this year is our Worldwide News on the movers and shakers of Linux and
VM around the world.  Come hear what has been happening with Linux & VM,
what companies are doing with it, what's new, what's coming, and other
interesting bits.

Think of it like CNN, but ours is RNN - The Reed News Network.  :-)  All the
news with more cheese.

I hope you -all- will be there!

Linux and VM Program Manager
