Memorable Moments at ApacheCon
For some reason, these two popped into my head as nice vignettes from
the Con.
1. I'm sitting in the press room, which we've taken over for an ASF
board meeting. I was late and I've got one hell of a hangover (in fact,
Ken had woken me up just 15 minutes earlier). Everyone else has their
laptop on the table (I didn't bring one to the Con, I figured I'd have a
more relaxed time that way) but they've got a problem - they all want
Internet access. Clearly someone has made a call before I arrived,
because suddenly someone that looks just like room service arrives, but
they haven't got coffee. They've brought a hub! I just watch with my
mouth open while everyone wires up.
2. Pierpaolo and Stefano are gabbling in Italian. Someone says "they're
saying rude things about us". Stefano turns around and says, "Nah!
Higher bandwidth!".
Cheers,
Ben.

I prefer machine code myself :). It is very native, just like your
Italian :)

Italian is a very precise and rafinate language... Almost like chinese.
Sometimes in english you just waste _SO_MUCH_TIME_ for sayin' nothing :)
And also... It's kinda neat to be the only two speaking italian in the
whole ASF... We always leave you with the thought "higher bandwidth or
unspeakable insults" ????
See you all in London...

Italian is a very precise and rafinate language... Almost like chinese.
Sometimes in english you just waste _SO_MUCH_TIME_ for sayin' nothing :)
And also... It's kinda neat to be the only two speaking italian in the
whole ASF... We always leave you with the thought "higher bandwidth or
