Dennis Richie and Ken Thompson's design of the first version of UNIX on a PDP-7 marked the beginning of a long relationship between DIGITAL and UNIX that continues to the present. In the early 1970s UNIX was ported to a PDP-11 and in 1983, DIGITAL developed ULTRIX, its own version of the popular operating system. Here, Richie and Thompson work at a PDP-11.
Many years ago I completed a post graduate course [organised and paid for by the EU] in Unix at this college and I must admit that it was an unusual experience.
St Patrick's College, Maynooth ( is the "National Seminary for Ireland" (a Roman Catholic college), and a Pontifical University, located in the village of Maynooth, 24 km (15 mi) from Dublin, Ireland.
The college and seminary are often referred to as Maynooth College. The college was officially established as the Royal College of St Patrick by an Act of Grattan's Parliament in 1795. Thomas Pelham, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, introduced his Bill for the foundation of a Catholic college, and this was enacted by Parliament. It was opened to train 500 Catholic priests every year, and was once the largest seminary in the world.
In the past decades intakes has been decreasing in line with the wider fall in vocations across the Western developed world, with a record low in 2017 of six first year seminarians. This fall was due, in part, to the decision of the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, to transfer Dublin seminarians to the Irish College in Rome. He did not state his reasons, but there had been unease over accusations of inappropriate behaviour among seminarians in Maynooth. However the 2017 drop may also be explained in part by the Irish Bishops' collective decision, in line with a new Holy See directive, to channel successful applicants for priestly formation into a new so-called propadeutic year before entering seminary. Eight students from the 2017 national intake were thus sent for a year of propadeutic studies in Spain.
Degrees are awarded by the Pontifical University at Maynooth, which was established by a pontifical charter of 1896. The Pontifical charter entitles the university to grant degrees in canon law, philosophy and theology.
The college is associated with the separate Maynooth University.
A little bit of geek graphiti in the toilets at Madsen (the computer science building) at Sydney Uni.
72 days, I will have to break the record due to iPhone OS 3.0 software upgrade.
Darwin is pretty stable.

I work a lot with Unix (HP-UX) and Linux (all sorts of flavours, but mostly SUSE). Today was reinstall the server OS day. HP-UX i3 is easier to install than earlier versions but takes a loooong time. Plus, you have to use a console.
Look: a black & white console! VT100 all the way. It's so 1983. At least you can plug a monitor, keyboard and mouse into a Linux server and pretend you're in the 21st century
A PlayStation 3 running Linux! The easiest and cheapest way for Neil to work on the Cell processor, hehe.
