Long, long ago in a country far, far away...

...Muir threw a Star Wars viewing party!  He chose to show Episode IV, the first movie to the uninitiated, after he and his co-workers came across a test string that read 'Luke, I am your father' in some of the testing code repository.  And yes, I know that line does not appear in Episode IV, but that movie the classic Star Wars jumping off point.  Take it up with Muir.

Anyway, he did a great job organizing the entire thing.  While he was working from India, Muir emailed the invitations and then delegated the task of downloading the movie with Chinese subtitles and testing the AV hookups in a conference room to a co-worker and the task of getting snacks and beverages to me.  On Sunday everyone who RSVP'ed arrived, which made for a merry band of eight of us--Muir and me, five of Muir's male co-workers and one co-worker's nine year-old son.  The only hitch was that the framerate of the first movie was too slow, and all six of the engineers spent a good 45 minutes trying different computers, media players, and movie versions.  Eventually, they converged on the optimal combination and we got to kick back and geek out.

Well, now I guess we know how many
engineers it takes to show Star Wars
