  Interesting read.  It sounds so much like what happens in management
at a company.  The whole part about Kurt leaving after the re-org is not
suprising, I once had a manager tell me that its common for that kind of
thing to happen right after a business re-org.

I think Gentoo will survive the storm.  Its amazing how many
organizations can bleed nearly to death but keep walking and keep
fighting.  Usually its because there is still so much demand from the
outside, which is still the case with Gentoo.

I know they have a bunch of in-house stuff they open sourced.  Can't
remember what though.

  XKCD is great.  Just a few days ago they had a masterpiece of a map of
online communities:

  Note its also the 2^8th comic too.

Tonight at 9 we're going to play Unreal Tournament 2004 again.
Hopefully we can get a better turnout for this great game. Instructions
for setup and connecting to the server are here:

I've added some more maps to the rotation as well.

See you in the game.
