Pete's Log: movies and linux
Entry #1325, (Life in General)(posted when I was 24 years old.)
In my current quest to achieve enlightenment by looking for it in all the wrong places, I've rented more movies. "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is definitely a 'watch.' Now that I've seen it, I hate "Pearl Harbor" more than I did when I saw it. "Eight Legged Freaks" is also a 'watch.' This movie is totally sweet! Especially the ostrich farm scene. And if there's one thing I learned from this movie is that motorcycle safety is not something to be taken lightly. "Mr. Deeds" starring Adam Sandler is also a watch. It's pretty light, but amusing.
Matt Szulik, Chairman and CEO of Redhat is on campus for the BC game. He gave a talk today. I went. It was interesing. Not very much technical stuff, but more business oriented. He also had some interesting thoughts about IP. I stuck around afterwards to talk to him. I met him my junior year. I was working FAST at the LSU game and he was in my section. I was reading my O'Reilly Linux Device Drivers book and so he introduced himself to me, since he'd just been hired as President of Redhat. He remembered meeting me and even said he still tells people about how he met a Linux person at a Notre Dame football game. He then hinted that I should work for Redhat. I never did mention I'm a debian user. :)
