How I met Ben Bleything
We were both in prison at the same place. He got out early for good behavior. It took me a bit longer to get out.

I made a wish list of Ruby coding items, and he’s now hacking a solution to one—thanks!
See, we were in competing PAC-10 marching bands at the same time… and nobody likes the ‘SC band ;)
I met him when he was working support at LiveJournal. He was Angry Ben then. Now he seems much happier, and only wants to kill people when they write shoddy code and refuse to take patches.
I’m not quite sure who Ben Bleything is, but I do know that I made him spit out his coffee today after I mentioned on IRC the meeting I had with a little gift left by one of my squirrely friends.
Unlike Robby, he seems to be a Portland Ruby brigader who’s not completely insane.
Ben and I talk quite a bit in #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net. Together we built a set of Ruby scripts to do cool things with subversion and our IRC bot. It was a fun coding experience.
Pat and I worked at a cub scout camp together a few years ago. Pat was one of the guys that I knew I could go to when I needed something and it would get done right, the first time.
