Here's a couch shot of most of the group, and yet another couch shot demonstrating our sitting (or perhaps drinking?) stamina. (In these photos, Mark Atwood fills in for Kendall Libby.) Yes, we were Those Guys on the couch.

Thanks to jesse at fsck dot com for the images.

 


 

Note: Steve VanDevender is far geekier than we could ever hope to be. ;)

 


 

The first mp3 is out! Our thanks go to Chris Miles, who recorded this and put it on his Seattle Trip page. Please try not to hammer his site too much, mirrors are available at:

The movie is out, too! Once again, thanks to Chris Miles, who created this video. [Edit 2008.12.25] I'm leaving all the old links in as reference and thanks for old hosts, but they don't work. Check it out on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqKb1P_RKKk.

It used to be available in a couple of formats, at http://www.psycho.net.au/lisa99/ (also now gone). Jesse formerlymirrored the .avi and the .mov for us at his site. Thanks, again, Jesse!

 


 

Hey, we got second billing on the Usenix LISA 1999 event listing. Hee!
