File system killer leads police to wife's bones

Sergio

I met him

I believe It was on summer 2001. The company I was working for back then sponsored some conferences on a computer geeks event (Campus Party) in the south of Spain. He was going to give that year's main speech for Linux lovers.

I spoken to him briefly and I help him setting up his computer on the net. It was quite surprising to me that this guy that supposedly knew so much about computers and file systems didn't know how to configure a simple network interface.

His conference was pretty bad. It was totally unprepared. He wrote down 5 bullet points on a MS Word document whilst people sat down to listen to him. Unenthusiastic, uninformative, waste of time. Since then I rewarded reiserfs with different eyes. I never thought I would be such influenced by him.

Sad.

Good enough

I've had one for quite some time and I'm happy enough. It's scheduled to clean 3 days a week. I just need to remember to power on the base station before setting off to work and when I come back home floor and carpets are clean.

And I don't agree the reason to buy them is just because you like gadgets. My mon has one and she's happy with it!
