Just finished re-reading Cliff Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg last night after 35 years. Back then I missed all the social subtext of this book having been involved in very similar investigation current then. I always think of Cliff Stoll when I imagine Jarrod -- make sense to me politically as well as from the programmer slash sysadmin viewpoint. Makes me wonder if this on-again off-again attention is part of a grad school experiment to learn how much it takes to get users to give up on it; what hold it has over us. Of course Jarrod has to be well beyond grad school, but as Stoll writes "research!" We're the guinea pigs.

Machine man let me know it was working today, so I tried it. Now what's here to read??
