The YC crew has graciously let us use their space for the event. I can't think of a better setting for a meet & greet with Randall then to be surrounded by Trevor's robots.
Thank you! I don't know that in Lao, but the future students of the 'xkcd school for kids who can't do romance,
sarcasm, math, and language good' no doubt appreciate it as much as I do.
edit: or maybe they're all Garfield fans. We can get them on the right path.
I catch the green line out just past Chestnut Hill every day and there certainly isn't a Brisbane, Australia out there, or I'd be at Gelateria Cremona every day.
I actually took my now-wife to the Gelateria Cremona on one of our first dates. Had completely forgotten it existed ... I sense a return sometime soon.
HN does use Markdown...it's just a very incomplete implementation. Since HN is written in Arc, there would have been no off-the-shelf parser, and I assume pg opted to use the simplest subset that would work. There also seems to be an aversion to fancy-pants stuff on HN, so it may be intentional. Why get clever when clarity isn't improved by doing so? (That said, I kinda miss having full Markdown link support.)
Thanks for the explanation; but I don't really think that hyperlink anchors, block quotations and lists (ordered and unordered) qualify as "fancy-pants". :)
I have a feeling that I ran into Randall on the train in Tokyo last week. There was a guy that was wearing a shirt that said "XKCD" and I said "I like your shirt."
He just said thanks, and something about his expression made me wonder if it was him. It didn't dawn on me until after he stepped off.
I could be wrong (obviously wrong if he wasn't in Japan last week :-) ) but it sure did look like him.

(mr_luc once learned enough Lao to do basic public speaking in that language, for reasons that the mists of five years ago have now rendered hazy).
(I'm from Brisbane originally)
There's a lot of us folks at Microsoft/Google/Amazon that gr0k xkcd and would love to be there :)
