Anecdote

In the movie WarGames, the programmer of the WOPR computer left a backdoor login. When the main character guesses it, all Hell breaks loose.

Somewhere between 1995 and 2000, I was sent to teach a pSOS+ class to Westinghouse engineers in Savannah, Georgia.

Home for spring break, her “let’s go to the range” request coincided with the Tuesday evening Nighthawks so I said, “Yes, if you’ll shoot your first competition.”

This evening, I came home to what was supposed to be an empty house.

The first time I visited this east coast Florida bar, I thought it ideal at first. It had an outdoor deck that faced the ocean on the second floor and I had a couple of beers and some onion rings to pass the time before dinner.

The Rock began in a tool room in the back of Bebop’s garage. It was three backyards and two fences from mine.

Years ago I was in Eindhoven in The Netherlands.

One evening after work I was in the hotel sauna relaxing. There was another gentleman there reading the newspaper. As is the custom, neither of us had on a stitch so there was nothing to communicate status or profession.

After cleaning, some have suggested using the family oven but others have objected it may shorten the lifetime of the brass.
