Hemos Gets Hitched 216
Today Jeffrey "Hemos" Bates got married to Adrienne Lane. We've posted several pictures for those of you who are visually inclined. I'd also recommend everyone send hemos@slashdot.org a congratulatory email to help celebrate this great occasion (and mainly because we wanna see how much mail we can get into his box). Now we're off to the reception ;) (BTW, thanks to CowboyNeal for getting these up asap. The photographers were me, Mandrake and Chris DiBona). Update: 06/25 03:01 by CT : The reception was nice. Keep those email to hemos coming.

A Blessing from the Bard (Score:1)
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.The
friends thou has, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy pal with entertainment
Of each new-hatcht unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't, that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thine voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy
judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not exprest in fancy; rich not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous, chief in that.
Neither a borrow nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend;
and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all--
to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing to thee.

9) perl -e "print 'Congratulations To The Bates\''"
8) Why do all your wedding invitations say "Copyright Andover.net"?
7) We all know how these Internet mergers go--right now they are Bates-Lane, but in 9 months I'm sure they'll spin off a "joint venture".
6) This just in from ESR: Hemos "gets it".
5) Your wedding night is no time to find out why Hemos is so interested in nano-everything.
4) On the other hand, it's better than Rob's obsession with "quickies".
3) So this is gonna be an Open Source marriage, right? Which one is the "benevolent dictator"?
