Got to meet a couple of people who are kinda heroes of mine of the decentralized compsci history space at this conference (Internet Identity Workshop)

- Randal Farmer of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_(video_game) which yes, you read right, was a graphical MMO that ran on *commodore 64 machines* in the 1980s (!!)... he had a copy with him and I got to play an actual, running version (it's been released as free software!) https://frandallfarmer.github.io/neohabitat-doc/docs//
- Carl Hewitt of the actor model (!!!!!!!)
