A story about John Labovitz

I met John in the 80’s through the punk fanzine world or it might have been through one of those early “Arpa-net” punk mailing lists. John lived in a ritzy area of town (Washington DC) and I once went to his house and was surprised that people who seemed so rich and smart could have such a dirty bathroom (like mine but in a two bedroom, one bath rancher in PG County). Later on I met his girlfriend when they came to help on a fanzine that was published in DC. Like lots of people from that time, I lost touch with them.

How I met John Labovitz

I met John while I was at RubyConf 2005. He helped my friend and I out a bit with some regular expressions we were writing for a Ruby app we were writing (rplanet). Real nice, personable guy. Looking forward to seeing him at other Ruby events in the future!
