A Fond Farewell
After ten enjoyable years I am signing off of KFN, the best and most friendly Linux forum on the web.
For several months it has been my only registered Internet account and with its closing my presence on the Internet comes to an end. During the last year I installed Kubuntu on six laptops of friends The is coming to an end as well.
An aside: A couple of years ago I read the “Three Body Problem”, by Cixin Liu
Yesterday my son brought me a copy of “Chain Lightning”, by the same author.
It is even better than the “Three Body Problem”, which I rank better than Issac Asimov’s “Foundation Trilogy”.
Ball lightning interests me because in 1986 I witnessed the occurance of one. During a thunderstorm lightning struck a light pole near my house and surge current melted the power cord connected to the wall socket nearest to the lightning strike. At the same instant an orange ball of plasma erupted from the wall socket and floated across the room for about 10 feet before settling down onto the carpet and creating a scorched spot. The ball was about 6-10” in diameter and was a translucent fluorescent orange.
So, with my last post on KFN I bid you all farewell.
