He showed up at Brainshare here in SLC yesterday for the Keynote and I went up to the front of the auditorium and got to talk with him for a min. It's cool that I can say I got to shake his hand. :)

He seems pretty cool, but I think he gets bombarded with Linux/Star Trek fans instead of hot women so he is disgruntled over that. He's got a funny accent since he's from Finland or somewhere...

I'd have to say, he'd be much cooler if he wasn't at a Novell conference being paid to make comments about where he expects things to be in the next few years... I can't blame him. ;)

What is linux?

A book about gay sex. You've probably read it so quit acting dumb.

I was at the library the other day trying to check that out but they said it was already checked out to guy named RagingBitch.

oh well.

So does he see Novell magically increasing their market share somehow in the next few years? Enquiring stockholders want to know...;)
