Reminder for lunch today. Please come around 12:15p. Owen should arrive at 12:30p with the expectation to discuss distributed javascript agent systems.

I temporarily took Owen off of dis...@sfcomplex.org this morning so I could send this reminder.

If you can't make it, please consider emailing me a favorite Owen rant. In the loose-spirit of a Festschrift (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festschrift), we are compiling a list of Owen Densmore Rants. Rants will be organized and numbered and presented to Owen. We'll have some notepads on hand to capture some of these today. For example:
  1. Python and whitespace
  2. Semicolons
  3. Academic research papers behind paywalls
  4. why can't the fucking civilians learn to write code
  5. math is second class citizen in email and browsers
  6. Marketing guys taking over Apple / Silicon Valley
  7. why can't civilians manage the subject lines of email threads?
  8. Medicare
  9. lack of coalition government in US
  10. why can't we get multi-pass voting (AV vs FTPT)
  11. why can't I get an android device without all the crap from the mobile phone operators
  12. cell phone plans
  13. why can't we just move to nuclear energy
  14. walled garden of apple
  15. Israel, Palestine and UN
  16. password-based authentication is broken
  17. EU, monetary union without politcal union
  18. philosophy is dead
  19. civilians can't manage their DNS
  20. European phone compatibility
  21. lack of video recording of talks at SF_X
  22. apps vs webapps
  23. why can't civilians figure out joyent
  24. Python dependencies

Please come out to 2nd Street Brewery (Oldery) for lunch of Wednesday to have a pint with Owen. It will be a kind of laid-back surprise party. Owen turned 70 last week!

He will be invited to arrive at 12:30p on the pretense of discussing distributed agents in Javascript. Please arrive by at least 12:15p and sit out on the patio. You can order lunch and beers as we wait.
