USENIX ‘04 Quiz Show

This was, as always, loads of fun and one of the highlights of the conference for me.

After being royally skunked in the final round every time in the past, I’ve finally managed to win instead of coming in a distant second; I now have a spiffy Google lava lamp to show for my efforts. It’s not blue, though.

Oh, and some books and hats and t-shirts, including one of the no longer being sold printed 4.4BSD Daemon shirts, autographed by Marshall Kirk McKusick himself.

(It is, however, XXL and therefore a bit large to actually wear…framing for display is being considered instead.)

    Congratulations!

    Somewhere in my attic, I think I still have a very, very old Unix t-shirt with that’s a cute cartoon drawing of a computer with pipes and daemons. I should try to dig it out - it may actually be worth money now as an historic artifact.
