[Sudo-radio] SRIG meeting 3/19/2013

Thu Mar 21 09:20:35 PDT 2013

sudo radio dream last night: i was in brazil, getting ready to fly home,
when i came across a bunch of keyboards and a mixer. i was trying to figure
out whether they worked and how i would get them back, and ended up missing
my flight (a HUGE FEAR of mine). thankfully i woke up before i had to spend
too much time in the dream trying to book a new flight.

thank you for entertaining this diversion :)
