oh yeah va linux did a 1:10 reverse split in 2006 when they were named "geeknet"

so esr's best-case payout was $30k, not $300k :q:

Considering that he made a big post after VA Linux's IPO about how he was a millionaire , I'm happy he's begging for money.

Sword Camp 2008: And So, It Begins…

our training incorporates the jujitsu he learned, and firearms, and various other bits and pieces from Asian martial arts.

A few of those bits and pieces are mine. I’m the school’s only guest instructor; in previous years I’ve taught units on escrima (Philippine stick-fighting) and board-breaking, and this year I’m doing one on “Japanese Sword For Western Swordsmen”. That should be fun.

Everyone is praying the weather holds. Michigan is extremely hot and wet in the summer; last year’s camp came perilously close to being shut down by brutal humidity, but we might get a break this year; it’s only supposed to hit the eighties Fahrenheit.

Yeah. I’m ready. It’s time to fight.

ESR: As an important co-guest of honour at some tech conference 15 years ago, my view of this year's conference agenda is that it is full of gun-hating transexual SJWs, foisting their unisex bathrooms on me. In support of this, here are a bunch of agreeing rants by my wife, some other hanger-on whose name was involved in the ntpd "rewrite" drama as being deeply involved ... but on to bigger and better things than vcs->git, whitespace changes, and documentation changes, and finally, some other equally insane person I've never heard of who probably was the one who appealed to ESR for help.

ESR posted:

Penguicon has lost its way.

For those who have not been around long enough to remember, I speak
with authority on this not only because I was co-GOH at Penguicon I
with Terry Pratchett, and not only because the convention was in a
strong sense designed around my availability by its original founders
(my friends Rob Landley and Tracy Worcester), but for the *reasons* I
was an anchor GOH. That is, my many years as an SF fan, and (more
importantly) my many years of serving and shaping today's open-source
hacker culture.

Penguicon is at risk of becoming an environment that is exclusionary
and toxic - ironically, because it has bent to the demands of people
who claim to favor "inclusion" and diversity, but whose methods are
speech policing, thought policing, and the intimidation of any who
disagree with them.

Historically, SF fandom and the hacker culture have been broadly
accepting of all manner of marginalized [...]

Myself, I was utterly horrified when I learned - too late to affect
the decision - that Coraline Ehmke had been invited as GOH.

[...]

Failure to understand this is is why Ehmke is toxic. Here's how I
described hacker culture tradition as I have known it over four
decades at [...]

What actual problem was declaring those bathrooms unisex solving?
Did you really need to offend all those people? Worse, were the
unisex bathrooms *intended* to get in centrist/conservative faces

It makes *me* feel unsafe; it makes me worry about the next step in the politicization of the personal, and the step after that.

the entire point of the thing is also specifically that "tron guy" was made to feel uncomfortable, which was the greatest sin imaginable
