David Sklar was a part of us when he was a wee lad. He was really funny and wrote well. Now he's written two books on the PHP language for O'Reilly. I just bought the second one. Well done sir, can you help find me a good job doing PHP?

That's wonderful :) Shame he isn't still around here, he sounds an interesting guy.

Wow, that's great! UT, have you let him know that The Cellar is here?

(For those non-geeks in the audience, O'Reilly is one of the premiere (perhaps THE premiere) publishing houses for books about open source-ish programming and systems administration subjects. To give you an idea, I at this moment have 18 of their books on my shelf.)

I've got a growing stack of their Make magazine.

I just found his blog and notified him of our presence.

cool

Early Dwellar Patri Friedman was a strong member in the 90s, played roller hockey with us, and is the grandson of Milton Friedman. He is now leader of The Seasteading Institute, a group which seeks to found new nations on created islands on the ocean.

neat - BTW, whatever happened to the hockey?

We lost.

For those who missed it, there are hockey photos.

Oh I've heard about that seasteading project! Fascinating stuff.

Patri Friedman has gotten a boost in funding and is planning an office park off the coast of San Francisco soon.

My guess: safe harbor a few miles off the coastland used to be safe harbor for pirate radio. Patri's first client will someone like The Pirate Bay, for Internet players tired of fighting various governments.

That whole pirate radio thing was fascinating.
