Well, not really, but sort of.
I recently was contacted by someone from California who has the distinction of having the same name as me. We didn’t quite follow the same paths in life (that would be spooky), but still have more in common than the name. It seems that Mr Corey thompson, father is none other than Ken Thompson who, along with Dennis Ritchie and Douglas Mcllroy, invented the operating system that is the backbone of todays technology, Unix.
As you may have noticed, I’m a bit interested in using lightly hacking Unix-like operating systems like Linux and BSD. What a coincidence.
My namesake is a veterinarian in Northern California. I wanted to be a veterinarian at one point! Interesting…
OOOO EEEE OOOO
