The lost limericks list
After that post, I thought I'd just check which category I'd put my previous
limericks in. To my horror, I discovered that I hadn't blogged them at all,
but had (merely) posted them to the Linux Australia list. So I rescued them
and posted them here for posterity.
That wonderful man Andrew Tridgell
Over SaMBa keeps permanent vigil.
SMB, it is said,
He decodes in his head,
And CIFS 2 will some day bear his sigil.
The great LGuest programmer Rusty,
Is virtually never seen dusty.
He eats 16K pages,
And has done so for ages,
Yet his moustache is clean and not crusty.
That marvellous girl Pia Waugh
Is certainly hard to ignore.
With her leet ninja moves,
Open Source just improves -
All Linux Australians show awe!
The Wireless Jonathan Oxer
After the three limericks I wrote about Tridge, Pia and Rusty, the conversation
came up on #linux-aus about whether I could make a similar epgiram for Jon
Oxer, former Linux Australia president, front-line hardware hacker and all-round
good guy. It took me two months, but in an email to Jon I finally cracked it,
packing much more into the rhyme than I originally thought would be possible:
The wireless Jonathan Oxer,Who's next, I wonder?
Waves his hand and his front door unloxer.
A remote-control loo,
And home theatre too -
If you as me, his whole house just roxor!
We tune to podcasting James Purser,Steve Walsh, however, is going to take a bit more thinking about.
Long known as a rhymer and verser.
With his darling wife Karin
They are not known as barren:
Three children now stare at their cursor.
