Romantisk cyber-frieri

Commander Taco, den legendariske grundlægger af slashdot.org (et af de oprindelige omdrejningspunkter for OpenSource miljøet, såvel som en generel IT-nyhedssite), valgte i går at fri til sin kæreste på ganske utraditionel vis.

Kathleen, I wanted to do this in this most potentially embarassing way possible, and I figured doing it here and now, in front of a quarter of a million strangers was as good a way as any.

Enough rambling. Will you marry me?

Update 15 minutes 30 seconds later: Subj: "Yes", message body: "Dork. You made me cry. :)" Hazah! I'm getting married! :)

Tillykke :)
