I think an interesting tactic would be to organise some sort of
competition like thing where the goal is to associate GNU/Linux with the
most obscure thing possible. It could be in debate or essay format, or on
the list, or we could just have a fist fight in the streets to settle
it. Prizes would help, and no doubt further the Linux cause ;)

We should start by setting ourselves up in the Microsoft campus, I hear
they've got a really cosy shop up there. Heaps of technical books, free
pizza after 5.30pm, your own office, etc. My own personal world domination
is all the technical books I want + free pizza.

The bastard keeps telling me that I have no money left in my account. I
make myself feel better by putting in false credits of 5x10^20, then
drinking a heap of vodka.

The Metropolis in North Sydney has shitloads of pool tables and a great
Asian eatery attached ...
