@chris_bloke So there’s a story behind that cover (https://www.wilyhacker.com/1e/cover.jpg). Our editor had sent us several possible cover pictures, none of which we liked. As a joke, he sent us a newspaper clipping—but we didn’t know it was a joke and enthusiastically agreed to it. He said, “Oh,” and negotiated for the rights to it.
@jvagle I am writing one, but it's a personal one for my family, not for the public—I doubt that anyone is interested in my childhood beyond what I shared today. I mean, does anyone here care that there was at least one house on block with a coal furnace, in the 1950s? The slides do have a link to an interview in ;login: a few years ago; very soon, there will also be an oral history interview with me available.
@SteveBellovin Your slides are a near-exact image of my interests and what brought me to switch from math grad studies to a JD. Only you were inventing the technologies I was interested in!
@BRicker Thanks! One thing I realized I forgot to mention in my talk: the importance of chance, but also how chance favors the prepared mind. The Miller paper falls into that category.
