Distributions quote of the week

2,442 days is a fair amount of time, and that’s how long I had been
on the openSUSE Board as its chair when I started this note.

That journey began on August 19th, 2019, and it ends today as I am
stepping down as chair of the openSUSE Board.

It’s been an intense time for most of it — just a bit calm the last
year and a half. A time of joy and frustration, anger occasionally
and rewarding more often than that.

During those years we have seen SUSE and openSUSE carve out from Micro

My first game of Magic ended with a truly EPIC TURN yesterday…

It was a 5-player game, and I was running my (unpublished) Superfriends deck (mostly Planeswalkers and counter manipulators). After some ups and downs, I was able to pop the ultimate abilities on a handful of PWs all on a single turn, pumping my Bioessence Hydra to 110/110 (!) before tapping it twice to kill 2 opponents, and then following that by destroying all of the lands of a 3rd opponent and stealing all of the creatures from the 4th, at which point the survivors decided to quit. As I said, EPIC TURN!

Game 2 ran long, so I dropped out. But that first game…
