And now I really think that 'truss -p `pgrep -d, ""`' is a much catchier name. Or maybe I should just resurrect BattleTris and use this as a tetris sound... Derek,

I, too, joined Sun in 1996 and found it to be an extremely stimulating place for the first five years. Unfortunately, those with the greatest and most innovative ideas have left and those remaining do not seem to possess the same ingenuity and/or integrity in their craft! Best of luck at Joyent! I hear it is a very good company! Bryan,

I thought you might embark on a stand-up comic career (the Lisa video is great) but it sounds like you will settle for the VP job :-) Good luck with everything and thanks for the inspiration. -Gavin Bryan,
