Just a copy from my old blog . I’m not using it anymore, but don’t want to lose this post:

11:08 < gilb> it all started on openbsd with monkeys
11:08 < gilb> monkeys is another name for some breed of hackers
11:08 < gilb> like dug song
11:08 < gilb> people that develop tools aimed at security/hacking and so on
11:08 < gilb> so for fun, people on openbsd started creating a bestiary
11:08 < gilb> the monkey is the advanced user of openbsd
11:09 < gilb> it’s not only a developer but someone that’s able to write programs to
                     enhance use of openbsd
11:09 < gilb> like dsniff for example ;)
11:09 < gilb> but the monkeys usually write programs fast and spread them,
                     it’s not always cute code
11:09 < gilb> there is an other breed: the cows
11:09 < gilb> the cows do things slowly but with care
11:09 < gilb> they chew code like real life cows chew grass
11:10 < gilb> code is written, written again and again, and has to pass all checks and so on
11:10 < gilb> cows are also considerated as meditative users
11:10 < gilb> they spend a lot of time reading and fixing code, porting code, writing docs :)
11:10 < gilb> the cows take things slowly to get farther
11:11 < gilb> while monkeys choose a target and fulfill it
11:11 < gilb> thus the cow has a wider scope and aims. that’s the tao of the cow
11:11 < gilb> then we got the weasels
11:11 < gilb> and dragons
11:11 < gilb> dragons = senior developer
11:12 < gilb> a weasel is an admin
11:12 < gilb> an openbsd admin is a weasel
11:12 < gilb> expert is making sure a server is up all the time, day and night
11:12 < gilb> the dragons are the keepers of thy code
11:12 < gilb> their lair contains a lot of ancient and rare machines
11:12 < gilb> and their pride is porting bsd code to those machines
11:12 < gilb> like VAX, old IBM servers and so on
11:13 < gilb> and they protect that lair like dragons protect their gold
11:13 < gilb> they are also called dragons because they usually burn people down in FLAMES
11:13 < gilb> :>
11:13 < gilb> like: “get a life, move away from BSD and don’t write on our mailing-list ever.
                     even if you reincarnate.”
11:13 < gilb> well.. you know what a flame is :)
11:14 < gilb> the bestiary is just geek talk
11:15 < gilb> the newbies do not exist in the bestiary
11:15 < gilb> they are in the void
11:15 < gilb> casted into null pointers
11:15 < gilb> :)
11:15 < gilb> a cow is like a buddha-wanabee
11:16 < gilb> the tao of the cow explains there is no beginning
11:16 < gilb> it’s just a cycle
11:16 < gilb> the cow or monkeys end up being dragons someday, sometimes they don’t
11:16 < gilb> where all begin and ends: it doesn’t matter where you start and where you go
11:17 < gilb> what matters is what you are, and what the tao tells you : what you could become
11:17 < gilb> in fact, we are all already dragons wanabees
11:17 < gilb> we just need to find ourselves, though work and learning
11:17 < gilb> learning programming, unix lore, source code, hacking..
11:18 < gilb> and someday people all around see you shine differently and ask you for guidance

Finally home. Notes about the second Japan Ruby Conference 2006 day are ready and online. Also some conference days photos .

Somebody with Ruby version? ;)

Fun, and not so much. Mostly scary:

How much we already depend from the OpenSource products?

Before sometime I had also a link to “New Eminem” clip, but for bad luck I lost it :(
