Hah, didn't expect to see that while reading this thread. The post is here, although it's missing CSS and the images from that evening: http://web.archive.org/web/20060613002629/http://blakeross.c...

Was definitely a crazy night. I enjoyed reading Linus' post.

I ran out of time to write, and then -- to be frank -- I forgot to pay my web hosting bill. Was pretty bummed to lose all that writing, thank god for the wayback machine. I hope to restart my blog in the near future.

Made me happy to read!

Mind my asking why you took down your site? I know you hadn’t posted much for years, but I always enjoyed your writing.

Here it is with the CSS and images:

BTW, some news from today that's relevant :) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=748155473273&set=...

Yeah, I just saw your tweet about this — what a crazy coincidence, a 5-year-old blog post mentioning red-carpeting in front of Will Smith dragged up as you announce another meeting.

FYI you can't read that without logging in (which I can't).

For more nerd out of water action, there is a Penny Arcade TV episode focusing on Gabe and Tycho's invitation to the Time 100 dinner. Not a lot of footage of the actual event for practical reasons, I'd imagine.
