Being obscure in acronyms is great. I think I'll start making up my own... INYM - I'm Not Your Momma.

Be neither a conformist or a rebel, for they are really the same thing. Find your own path, and stay on it.

The internet is not for sissies.

Note that if I can get you to su and say something just by asking, you have a very serious security problem on your system and you should look into it.

Many things are linked to being able to live with uncertainty, ...with paradoxes. But this can be a strength of an organisation and a situation.

The compliment that I like more than anything is when my family tells me I'm the same Ryan. I never want to become a celeb who forgets about anybody or has a big head about himself.
