Celebrate Unix' 40th birthday this Thursday at the Dog and Duck.

Back on the 11th, I announced that we'd be hosting a party to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Unix

I'm happy to say that this party will be co-hosted by the following local Unix/Linux groups:

Capital Area Central Texas Unix Society (CACTUS)
These guys are the oldest *nix group in town. Back in the early 90s, I used to give them a discount on O'Reilly books at Europa. These guys were the who's who of Austin's first generation of sys and network admins. I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

Austin Linux Enthusiasts
This group started out as the Goodwill Linux User Group. After losing the meeting space at the old Goodwill Computer store, they changed the name. When I started buying servers to build my home lab, Les Nemeth and the ALE guys were a tremendous help teaching me about system and configuration. If you need help, this is a tremendously friendly group.

League of Professional System Adminstrators -- Austin Chapter.
If you want to learn about standards and best practices for system and network administration, LOPSA is a good place to start. A real sharp helpful bunch of guys this is. They have the jobs you want. Meet the group and find out how they got them.

It looks like we may have rain tomorrow, but there is plenty of parking at the Dog and Duck. Plenty of space inside, the patio is covered, and they have a great selection of beer.

Hope you can make it!

Happy 40th birthday Unix - let's have a party!

I've always considered midnight, January 1, 1970 as the birthday of Unix.

January 1, 1970 is the moment Unix computers recognize as 00:00:00. That is the moment at which the Unix Epoch begins.

Although I had played around with Fortran on an IBM S370, it wasn't until I got a shell on a Unix SVR4 system that things started to make sense. Learning the shell, then grep, sed, awk, and perl felt like such a natural progression. Moving on to C gave me the opportunity to dive below the command line to learn about system calls and the kernel. I don't consider myself a programmer, but I've had a tremendous amount of fun.

I've celebrated the birth of Unix before. Back in 2001, Orion and I hosted the GeekAustin Billion Seconds of Unix Party. I'm not going to let this birthday pass without a celebration either. A few rounds of beer are in order.

As many times as you hear Unix, free, and beer in the same sentence, I decided that this party should be someplace with a large selection of beers and ample free parking.

The event was originally scheduled for the 14th, but because of the 70% chance of rain, we are moving the event to the Thursday the 21st.
I'll be announcing the location shortly.

This event is co-hosted by the Austin Chapter of the League of Professional System Administrators (http://www.lopsa-austin.org/)

Come join us!

Ubuntu Release Party (Karmic) this Thursday (10/29) at Aussie's Grill

Just got this from Dustin Kirkland. Well, I didn't just get it, but I've been slacking as usual.

Here's the details:

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Austin's Jaunty Release Party in April 2009, which we held at 6th's Jackalope Bar -- oh so perfectly named!

I had hoped to follow up our synchronicity with the Karmic Release Party at a bar called Karma in downtown Austin. Unfortunately, it doesn't open until 9pm, which is probably a bit late for our crowd. So I needed to find another interesting, appropriate venue.

Join us between 6pm - 9pm on Thursday, October 29, 2009 at Aussie's Grill and Beach Bar, at 306 Barton Springs Road, just east of the corner of Riverside and Barton Springs Road, south of the river. I figured an Australian-themed bar would have to work, in honor of the home of our lovely mascot, the Karmic Koala!
