I attended the most recent NTK Live event, "g3EkNight". It was geeky show with acts such as Lamer vs. Kramer, the
singing 386DX and theremin playing. Beer was available, as was "open source" ice-cream. Richard M. Stallman was
there to teach us all the Free Software Song, to the tune of Saudi Moma.
He distributed song-sheets amongst the audience, and we all had a go. Sight reading in 7/8 time is not a particular
strong point of mine. After he was finished I called out "Richard!", as he walked past my table. He came over and
signed my song-sheet. Happy Hacking, Richard M Stallman. When the other audience members figured out what was
going on, chaos ensued, as geek after geek crowded round, clammering for autographs.
The poor guy was flustered, embarassed and probably resentfull. The debate raged in NTK over the following few weeks
about exactly where RMS had signed a particularly keen geek girl, collar bone or breast? Well, it was my pen!
