Oh dear. (Lead us not into temptation, for we will be expelled, o Lord...)
So Echo calls, and I chat with him. He asks how everything's going around here. I mention the brush with pseudo-chickenpox, and how good SQL is better than bad sex. Or even mediocre sex.
We get into talking about computers, some. He had an interesting run-in with his college. Seems he's got Mandrake 9.something on his blueberry iBook, and he was merrily poking about inside their network. Seems also that someone was monitoring the network, saw him come online, and then marched up to him in the library and yanked the cable out of the floor, and marched him into the Dean's office. He was told that he would be best continuing his education ... elsewhere.
He'd called to check up on the general state of the Temple.
There's a business park near Metro looking for a few good computer people with experience with vi. Cool. He wanted to know if anyone was still running Linux here. Neo is. I really need to get him onto the network... Hm.
It would be fun if I had Neo running the network... Hm, I wonder if there are any windows emulators good enough to let him run the modem without the modem knowing it wasn't on a Windows machine? That could be interesting.
But we talked kids and computers for almost ten minutes(!) and then his daughter was being screechy so he had to go.
