Well, if you are into this kind of stuff (I am)... Stross is an s-f
author, formerly a programmer (ages ago but I think it still shows -
perhaps he secretly writes his own tools in Perl)
He wrote the Linux column in the UK version of Computer Shopper from
its launch until the late 1990s, when his novel-writing career took
off. That's when I met him; I worked for sister mag PC Pro, from the
same publisher on another floor of the same building.
Charlie's been a mate ever since and I've stayed at his place a few
times. I still own 2 of his cast-off Macs. :-)
He is very _very_ smart and also extremely technically knowledgeable.
