I tagged along to the Tokyo Linux Users Group nomikai last night with Tod, mainly because he said our friend Ben would be there. Tod & Ben met on irc a while back and connected in person for the first time on Wednesday. Ben’s a total hoot—he’s got more energy than any three people and is hyper-intelligent. (He’s also 13 years younger than me. Yikes!)

So at the TLUG party, instead of talking to the Linux geeks where my conversation is limited to topical technology subjects instead of source code, I played ChuChu Rocket on Ben’s GameBoy Advance and watched Invader Zim on his laptop. It wasn’t very sociable but it was more entertaining than listening to Steve on a tirade about xemacs. Posted by kuri at August 18, 2001 10:18 AM
