remembering the past
First of all my wife is incredible. I rec’d a Christmas coupon/ticket/moneyThingy for use with Amazon. Couldn’t think of anything I needed so I passed it along to be used when needed. Val used it for – I’m thinking Grandmother Owens new grandchild – reserving a little that was used to purchase me a book from amz.
She selected The Shellcoder’s Handbook. Pretty neat by anyones standards. Looking through the contributers names I spotted Dave Aitel. Hrmm. I flipped to the acknowledgments page where I spotted Dave talking about the discussions on that took place on #convers. No talk of GARDEN or anything else, but it was neat tapping the past.
I would like to acknowledge Justine Bone for making it look easy; Oded Horowitz; Sinan Eren; Jeremy Jethro; Adam; Shane; the members of #convers who provided technical support, friendship, and inspiration; and the Internet comic group “GOBBLES,” for keeping me from taking myself too seriously with their many advisories. ~ Dave Aitel
