For those of you who don't know, Jerry Pournelle is a well-known Science Fiction writer. He's not slow to pick up a bar tab, either. My favorite picture of him is where he was giving a presentation using slides, and using a longneck beer bottle as a pointer. I've had the pleasure of meeting him twice, and arranged for him to speak at a meeting of my ASTM subcommittee.

Chaos Manor started out as a column in Byte Magazine (of lamented memory), describing the hardware and software he was working with, the writing he was doing, games he was playing, and anything else that met his fancy. Chaos Manor is the name of his house. His column has to be at least 10 years old, and he's always a good read. He doesn't mince words, either. I recommend it regardless of your politics.

HA!

I enjoyed his Byte columns too.
