I didn't know Matthew Garrett was working there now. Matthew is very young, astonishingly brilliant, appallingly energetic, and extremely annoyed with you. (Yes, you. Me too, of course, even moreso now.)

It's gratifying that Canonical has been able to find so many brilliant people, in part because it means Google hasn't snapped them all up yet, and in part because with Canonical pushing from the east and Google from the south, Microsoft might get pushed into the frigid north Pacific Ocean and drown.

"Working" - I'm actually finishing off a PhD, the laptop stuff is spare time...

For those not tracking mjg59's career: besides his exemplary contributions to Debian, Matthew is participating in tracking down the genetic basis of Alzheimer's Disease. (I wonder how to tell if a fruit fly suffers dementia.) Why aren't *you* working on something as important?

I'd love to be able to say that's true, but sadly it isn't quite :)
