What makes freeBSD feel old?
Saturday, March 24th, 2007This is a list of all the things that make it feel old. I started this while working at a place that ran a lot of FreeBSD machines.

Looks like I’m inelegible for unemployment. Apparently I haven’t been in michigan long enough to warrant helping me out. when I look back on my life, this will be the moment when I said “this is as bad as it got.”
