geekin it up in steinbeck town

[substitute]

So, I'm almost done with USENIX 2002 here in lovely Monterey. Tonight was the dessert reception at the aquarium (yes you read right). At one point I was eating an eclair while one hirsute hacker near me disputed with another about the relative virtues of assembly programming on the VAX versus M68K as a large grouper and two small rockfish looked over their shoulders and moved their fishy mouths as if to disagree with both of them.

I took some pictures mostly of fish and one of some famous hackers, which are famous if you're a geek like me.

Tomorrow, after a couple of last sessions, it's off to San Francisco for a WEEK of UNINHIBITED HEDONISM. Woo-hoo!
