@dcc In the end, I had a bunch of steak and asparagus and some whiskey. It worked out really well.

:p:I just realized in the middle of a meeting that I haven't had lunch yet and then worked until the next meeting during which I realized again that I still haven't had lunch and my sleep schedule needs rape correction, I'm just fresh out of homeostasis and if I don't eat a steak in the next five minutes I am going to end up on the news and they're gonna say things like "horrified onlookers" and "freeway closure". aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.png
Snapshots are really nice: I use fossil but fossil is a bitch on Linux and dp9sk1 is a bitch on Linux also, so the consequence is I just periodically `vac` stuff and I keep most of the important stuff on the Plan 9 fileserver anyway.
@DocScranton@dcc@sjw I was gonna tag dcc to see if he had an appropriate GIF of Kong from :strangelove: but he's tagged already so we just have to wait a second.
Old friend of mine is (or maybe just was) one of the mpd hackers. He pushed it around the office some but it was really unfriendly back then. I helped him optimize some of the FLAC code for ARM (I think I was the only one in the office that knew ARM assembly and gcc's output was terrible, so you had to hand-optimize a lot of stuff. gcc still produces sub-optimal x86-like ARM code last I checked) so it'd run on his hacked iPod. He was optimizing the hell out of it because he needed free software to do gapless playback of FLACs. Really cool guy, great hacker, but also eccentric like you'd expect.
He had a clause in his employment contract that he would never be required to use non-free software. :chad:
