OH yeah baby, I'm right there at 30. *pumps fist in air*

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

But see, I only friended you fairly recently, so really you'd be higher if the stats were to measure only the last few months. :-)

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Damn, I suck!

Of course, I could comment more if I understood all of your posts.

What's Linux?

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

I don't think I mentioned linux in this particular post. Huh huh? :-)

It's just an operating system (like XP, OS X, Unix, etc). Some say much better than any other modern OS. Certainly more secure!

The zealots insist on always calling it 'gnu/linux'. Richard Stallman is *the* GNU inventor guy who started it all, and he always tries to emphasize the 'gnu' (clever recursive name: stands for 'gnu's not unix') part because he feels the 'linux' part has been co-opted by the non-open-source people (Red Hat, etc.), and now connotes something he doesn't fully believe follows his Dream of an operating system that is truly free from the closed-code policy followed by the likes of Bill Gates et al. Rant rant rant.

P.S.

You comment plenty. Not being on my friends list for as many months as many of the people above you in the stats, how could you possibly have commented more? Not possible. :-)

And I was just thinking that if it weren't for you, most brendon_daily wouldn't have very many comments.

[bunnyohare.livejournal.com]

I am the worst wife ever. I must comment more on your journal.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

No, you are the BEST wife ever, and have commented just fine. Don't you worry. ** Hugs & kisses **

Pshaw. I bet if mmcirvin did this meme, I wouldn't come anywhere near the top of the list. Sad but true: often we're both in the computer room doing our respective things on our respective computers. If I see a new post of his, I'll generally just say something about it to him (unless of course I'm completely uninterested). Hey, we've got to have something to talk about.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Discussing things -- gasp -- in person is often more fun than posting to each other's journals while in the same room! Ah, nerds.

I know a couple who met online; they knew they attended the same school, but had never met, and had only corresponded via email and also by chatting frequently on the Mainframe. One day, they were in a Mainframe talk session, sending messages back and forth to each other, as usual. In those days, our school was equipped with VT100 terminals (literal vt100 terminals, the actual hardware) and the like, and each time one would receive a message, the terminal would beep loudly. Of course, they started to notice that the beeping sounds from across the room corresponded to the time delay between the time each of them would send a message. Finally one of them got up, came over to the other, and introduced herself! They are still together and have a couple of kids.

God, I keep showing up at the top of these things. I'm such a stalker.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

You aren't a stalker! You've just been on my friends list the very longest. Makes complete sense.
