The Harold Perry Show! Hee hee hee! And now Harold Perry as Honest Harold the Homemaker. Well, there's a lot of hustle and bustle in the Honest Harold household this morning. This is the day Harold's young cousin Raymond from Chicago is arriving for a visit. Right now Harold and his mother are busily straightening up the living room assisted by their friend Dr. Yancey, the veterinarian. I think the sofa looks better over here. It'll hide that spot on the rug, Mother. It looks fine Harold. Harold, why don't you move this morse chair back against the wall? I will, Doc, if you'll get out of it. Oh, all right. It's going to be wonderful having cousin Raymond here. And it was awfully nice of you to give up your bedroom, Harold. Oh, that's all right, Mother. Raymond will only be here for a week or two just for his vacation. If we want to do everything we can to make him comfortable. I hope you won't be uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa. Well, Harold can wear his heavy PJs so the horse hairs won't give him nightmares. Oh, right. When did you see the boy last, Mother Ham? Always nearly ten years now.  Well, don't forget he's not a boy anymore, Mother. He's been out of college three years. What would he do? Oh, he's a real go-getter, Doc. The day after that boy graduated from college, he got a job in one of those big advertising agencies in Chicago. I imagine he's a big executive by now. Yeah, probably wears a belt and suspenders at the same time. See? That must be Raymond, Mother.  Our reservoir. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, you go to the door, Harold. I want to get out of this apron. Yeah, all right, Mother. Meeting a big Chicago executive. Maybe I ought to put on my Hamburg hat. See, there's a taxi in front. Husband Raymond certainly does things in style. Cousin Raymond. Well, Cousin Harold, fancy meeting you here. I live here. Oh, a joke. Hey, won't you come in? Oh, thanks. Oh, there's one little detail. Have you got two dollars handy? Two dollars? For the taxi. Oh, yes. Here. Thanks. Oh, you got another dollar? Another dollar? Oh. Man, be right back. That's funny. He didn't have three dollars. Well, he's probably got his money all tied up in traveler's checks. Well, it's sure nice to be here, Cous. Cous? Oh, well, we're sure glad to have you here, Raymond. Here, let me take one of your suitcases. Oh, okay. It might be easier for you to carry both of them. Huh? One will balance the other. Oh, well. Never thought of that. Heavy must have his traveler's checks in him. Mother will be right in, Raymond. She's primping up a little bit. Sit down. Take the Morris chair. Oh, no, thanks, Cous. I'll just stretch out here in the sofa. Conserve my energy. Oh, guess all big executives do that. Oh, well, Cous, would you mind putting that pillow under my head? Oh, yes, of course. Thanks. That's fine. He's really conserving his energy. Well, tell me, Cous and Raymond, how are things in the ad game? The what? Oh, you know that big advertising company you work for in Chicago? Well, I haven't worked for them for three years. But I thought you started there three years ago. That's right. I only worked there one day. One day? Yeah, the boss wouldn't give me the afternoon off, so I quit. Well, I see. Cous and Raymond, what have you been doing these last three years? Lofing. Lofing? But you said in your letter that you were coming here for a vacation. Yeah, I needed a change. I got tired of loafing in Chicago. You did, eh? But Raymond, you want to make a living, don't you? Not as long as I can live off of somebody else. Wonder who he means. Well, well, if it isn't little Cous and Raymond. Oh, hello, Aunt Emily. Gee, he got up. Oh, you must be tired after your trip. Why don't you lie down again? All righty. He did. Aunt Emily, let me look at you. What? Why, it's remarkable.  Oh, dear. Oh, brother. What an operator. Well, Raymond, so this is my hard-working young nephew. Yeah, that's what she thinks. It's so nice having you here. I'm sorry you can only stay for two weeks. Mother. Well, I really wish you could stay a year. But mother, Raymond can't stay too long. He only brought two suitcases. Who's that? Oh, that must be the man with my trunk. Uh, trunk? Yeah, I thought I'd bring it just in case he wanted me to stay longer. Oh. Oh, I'm so glad, Raymond. Yeah.  Of course he has. You better make it four. You know, I'm a heavy tipper. Heavy tipper? Oh, yeah. Here. Hope you won't mind those old dusty bills. Thanks, cause. Oh, hell, isn't it wonderful? Raymond is going to be with us for a long, long time. Yeah. Well, it's only three o'clock. Yeah, I've got some work to do. I'm Chairman of the Safer Driving Committee. I have a report to get out for tonight's meeting. Oh, well, you can work in the living room. It'll be nice and quiet over there. Thanks, Larry. And what's cousin Raymond been doing? Well, he's been lying down on the sofa all morning. Oh, where is he now? He's lying down in your room. Oh, my goodness. Is that all he's been doing all day, lying down? Oh, no. No, he got up for lunch. Oh. But he did. Mother Raymond is the laziest fellow I've ever known. No, Harold. Maybe he just hasn't found himself yet. All he has to do is look on the nearest sofa. Well, better get my report started. Little Glory is coming over from the radio station to type it up for me. Oh, that's nice. Mm-hmm. Well, better get on with my report. Let's see. I'll start at something like this. Ladies and gentlemen of the safer driving committee, as your... Oh, my goodness. What's that? Mother? Yes, Harold. What's that noise? Oh, that's Raymond practicing on his saxophone. Oh, my goodness. He says he's planning to have his own orchestra someday.  Reclining Raymond and his sleepy six. Oh, where was I? Oh, yes. Ladies and gentlemen, we must off. Oh. That did it. I'm going to have a talk with that boy. Look at him on the bed. He even plays the saxophone lying down. Hiya, cuz. Cuz? I mean, Raymond, I want to talk to you. Okay. Shoot. Don't tempt me. Raymond, I'm a little older than you are, and I think I know a little more about life. Uh-huh. I'm going to tell you the story of the grasshopper and the ant.  Well, a hard-working ant. Raymond, will you please open your eyes? Oh, sure. Thank you.  I mean half a day. And Raymond, you can't go through life without working. Why? Why? Well, think of all the things you miss when you don't work. The thrill of a job well done. The respect of your fellow man. And there's the question of women. Women? He sat up. You know some women? Raymond, lie down. I was about to say, someday you'll want to settle down. Get married. But you have to be in a position to support a wife first. Uh-huh.  Why, you wouldn't know what to do. That's what you'd think. Huh? Just lead me to her, cuz. Raymond, that'll do. Goodness. The point I'm trying to make is women respect men who are ambitious, my boy. For instance, there's a young lady coming over here in a little while who, well, who thinks quite a bit of me. And you know why? Because I'm industrious. Serious-minded. Why, she wouldn't look twice at a man who's frivolous. There she is now. I just think over what I said, young man. And remember, to get any place in this world, you've got to be ambitious. Alert. Wide awake. Ah. Okay, cuz. Oh, my goodness.  He's like those new cars. Completely shiftless. Hello, Harold. Here's little old Gloria right on the dot. Hello, Gloria. Come on in. Okay.  Oh, you know that I'm always glad to help you, Harold. And I think it's just wonderful that you've been made chairman of the Safety Campaign Committee. Uh, it wasn't much, Gloria. Guess they just thought I was the best man for the job. You always say the cutest things, Harold. And a girl just has to admire a man like you. Hard-working public spirit. That's just what I was trying to tell somebody. Well, shall we get started on the report? All right. What's that? Uh, that's my cousin Raymond from Chicago. Just a callow youth, Gloria. You wouldn't be interested in him. Oh. Oh. Here he comes. Hi, ya, cuz. Hello, Raymond. Hey, who's the babe? Yeah, this happens to be Miss Gloria O'Day, who's employed at our radio station. And she doesn't care to be called babe. Oh, I think it's cute. What? Hi, Raymond. Hi, babe. Oops. I'll look here, babe. I mean, Gloria. Let's get down to work, shall we? Yeah, go right ahead. You won't bother me. I'll just lay right here on the sofa. I hope the horse hair tickles him silly. All right, Gloria. Take a letter. That is, take a report. Yes, sir. Ladies and gentlemen of the Safer Driving Committee, as your chairman, I am proud to report... Say, cuz, what is it?  Why, Gloria, is the cutest babe I've seen in a long time. Why, thank you, Raymond. Gloria, where did we leave off? As your chairman, I am proud to report that I'm the cutest baby seen in a long time. Gloria. Gloria. Raymond, you don't really mean that. Well, I bet the girls in Chicago are a lot cuter than I am. I bet they're not. I bet they are. I bet they're not. I bet they are. I bet they're not. Cut that out! Well, I guess I'll go out and look your little berg over. It's a good idea. Take that saxophone with you. Goodbye, Raymond. It's too bad you can't go with me, Gloria. We could have a lot of fun. We could get a soda, go to the movie. Raymond, you're just wasting your time. Gloria's not interested in having a good time when she has work to do. Of course, Gloria, if I thought you were the kind of girl who wanted to fritter away the afternoon with Raymond, I'd be the first to say, go ahead. I'd even let you use my Essex. Why, you could joyride with Raymond all afternoon. Oh, thank you, Harold. Oh, come on, let's go, Raymond. I'm sure I'd like to see you, cuz. The car keys, please. The car keys? Oh, sure. And maybe you'd like me to give you four dollars for gasoline. You better make it five.  Well, go on, cuz, and don't forget the story of the grasshopper in the ant. I think I'll find a good, hardworking ant and punch him right in his antenna. We will return for the second act of our story, Honest Harold, in just a moment. Tonight on CBS, Dick Powell joins Bing Crosby for some singing. So for a half hour of grand hilarity and wonderful songs, don't miss Dick Powell's visit to the Bing Crosby show later tonight. The Bing Crosby show is heard every Wednesday on most of these same CBS stations. And now, back to Honest Harold, the homemaker. Well, we find Honest Harold a little upset this afternoon. He has a new problem.  That's what he thinks. So far, Harold's attempts to change Raymond from a carefree grasshopper into a hardworking ant have been completely unsuccessful. I've got 15 more minutes. Right now, our frustrated reformer is on his way to seek advice from his friend, Doc Yancy, the veterinarian. I don't know what's going to happen to that Raymond. He can't just go through life without working. I don't think. He's a real problem, all right. Maybe old Doc Yak Yak will have an idea. Yeah, come in. Hello, Doc. Close that door, quick, Harold. What? Close the door. There's a gap. It's OK. I'm giving this pecanese a bath. I don't want to do a little thing to catch cold. He's a princess, you know. Princess? Are you warm enough, Princess Lotus Blossom? Gesundheit, you guys. Oh, my gesundheit. Doc, I want to talk to you. No, shout, Harold. You're in the presence of royalty. What am I supposed to do? Bow? Did Doc get that nasty old soap in your eyes? Well, he's sorry. Oh, brother. Doc? Come on, slip into your little bathrobe. And it's got a royal crest on it. Everybody here. I've forgotten now. Oh, how's your cousin? That's it. I'm having a little trouble with him, Doc. Oh, it seems to be wrong with that young advertising genius. Genius? Do you know how long he lasted on that job, Doc? One day. He hasn't worked for three years. He just wants to loaf his life away. That's bad, all right. Somebody's got to work in this world. You can't all be politicians. Doc, I'm worried about the boy, really. I tried to talk to him, but it didn't do any good. It seems to me, Harold, what this young fella needs is a horrible example. What do you mean? Well, if we could just show him somebody who loathed his life away and came to a bad end, that might throw a scaring one. Hey, that sounds good, Doc. What horrible example do we know? Well, remember Drupy Johnson? Slippin' class all through high school? They had to wake him up to give him his diploma? What became of him? He's vice president of the bank in Cleveland. He couldn't use him. Harold, I've got an idea. You have?   Well, then who could we get? Well, it'd take a great actor, Harold. Someone with the combined talents of Spencer Tracy and, uh, uh, Sonny Tofts. Where are we going to find a talented actor in Melrose Spring? Doc, you don't mean? Yeah. Told you this, Harold, but I took the lead in the senior class play in veterinary college. Thank you very much, Doc. Now, wait a minute. I played a part just like this. You see, I was a young English lord who became a wastrel, you know. And in the third act, I was just a broken shell of a man reduced to bacon on the street to London. Doc, please. I'll never forget my big scene. It was wonderful. I shambled up to a well-dressed man and I said, Hi, sorry, Governor. Could you spare a tuppence or a threppence for a bloke who's down on his luck? Doc. Yes, sir, Governor. Harold had me hoops and downs. Down hoops, hoops and downs. Wait a minute. You see that sneer on your face, Governor? I know what you're thinking, but it's all right. Yeah. I was once a gent like you. Now, Harold is a bit of fluttersome and just reduced to cadding for a spot of tea in a dab of marmalade to keep all your souls together. I'm hungry, Governor. Hi. Hey, Doc. Use the corner and get yourself a nutburger. Goodbye. Doc was certainly of big help. I say, Governor, could you spare a tuppence? I've seen better acting than that on television. Maybe I'm just worrying too much about cousin Raymond. Pimp? Uh-oh. Prissy Pants Peabody. I suppose he'll be worse than ever now that he got elected mayor. Pimp, I want to talk to you. All right, Stanley. I prefer to be called by my official title, Mayor Peabody. Oh, brother. In case you've forgotten, I defeated you in the recent election. I hate him. Pimp, I understand the last mayor was foolish enough to appoint you chairman of the safer driving committee. Yes, he was. I mean, yes, he did.  Well, thank you. I don't mean that. An hour ago, I saw your car hurtling down Main Street 45 miles an hour on a 15-mile zone. An hour ago? Ooh, I wasn't driving the car. Oh, I suppose your car was being driven by a robot. No, a Raymond. What? They don't make them anymore. Just skip it. You were driving that car, Pimp. Now don't try to crawl out of it. Stanley, did you ever try to crawl out of an Essex? Besides, I wasn't in it. Now listen to me, Stanley. Not Stanley. You know what to call me. Brother, I sure do. I see you speeding just once more. There'll be a new chairman of the safety driving committee. But acting as though you weren't driving the car. Ha! But your mayorship, Pimp, you'll have to get up pretty early in the morning to make a fool of me. All right, I'll set the alarm. My car home. Shouldn't you be leaving for your safety committee meeting? I intend to leave, mother. As soon as Raymond brings back the Essex, where do I get my hands on him? No, Harold, you mustn't be too hard on Raymond. He may be a little too much. But I have the feeling that boy is going far. Well, he doesn't have to go in my Essex. There's no use waiting for Raymond any longer, mother. I'm late now. I'll walk to the meeting. All right. Kind of cold out tonight, though. I think I'll wear my overcoat. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Harold. Raymond brought by this afternoon and borrowed it. Borrowed my overcoat? Oh, my goodness. It's a wonder he didn't take my muffler, too. He did. Goodbye, mother. Goodbye, Harold. And good luck on your report. Thank you. That Raymond has certainly got his nerve, speeding around town all day, joyriding with Gloria. Now I'm going to be late for my meeting. Hey, you want a lift, Buster? I certainly... Raymond! Take you someplace, cuz? Well, you can drive me to my committee meeting if it isn't too much trouble. Oh, no trouble at all. Hop in, cuz. Thank you. Where to, Jack? What happened to Cuz? I want to go to the city hall and drive slowly. Oh, sure. How's this? You've been very inconsiderate, young fella. I don't suppose it occurred to you that I might want to use my own car. Oh, sorry, cuz. I didn't realize it was so late. We've been over to Gloria's house listening to records. Eh, it must have been a long playing kind. You might be interested to know, Raymond, that because of your thoughtfulness, I'm going to be late for my meeting tonight. You're going to be late. Well, why didn't you say so? What? Here, I'll just have you there in a jeffy. Raymond, you're speeding. Raymond, slow down. We're only doing 50, Cuz. But that's dangerous. It says so right here in my report. Ooh, look out for that car. Hang on, Cuz. We've waited on two wheels. I thought we left the ground. Raymond, you get arrested for this. They'll take away your driver's license. They can't do that. I haven't got one. No, man, you stop this car immediately. Do you hear me? I'll send you. Okay, Cuz. That was a foolhardy thing to do, Raymond. I'm at the end of my patience with you. You get out from behind that wheel. I'll drive myself. Okay. Going 50 miles an hour on Heliotrope Drive, you're just lucky the police didn't see us speeding that way. I got news for you, Cuz. They did. Huh? And here they come now. I'll see you later. Raymond, you come back here. There is Pete the Marshal. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.  Pete, look. I can explain all this. That's what they all say. Pete, you know me. I'm against speeding. My cousin was driving. Oh, your cousin was driving. Well, I got a handy to you, Harold. I never heard that alibi before. But Pete, you know, usually the fella says he's rushing to the hospital. Cuz his wife is having a baby. My goodness, if that baby story was true every time I heard it, the population of this town would be tripled. But now, Pete, really, this is the truth. Then there was a fella I picked up who went through a stop sign one time. Had two ladies crowded in the front seat with him. Said the reason he didn't stop was because he was too modest to reach over and shift the gear. Ain't that a doozy? Of course, they can't use that one anymore. The gear shift is obsolete in most cars. Pete, you've got to believe me. My young cousin was driving this car. Where is he now, boy? Hiding in the glove compartment? Yes, your cousin was driving the car, huh? Well, I declare, Harold, I'm afraid I'll have to make out a story. I'm afraid I'll have to make out a story. I'm afraid I'll have to make out a story. I declare, Harold, I'm afraid I'll have to make out a speeding ticket. You're certainly happy about it. Yes. Let me see your driver's license. Driver's license? Sure, I'll see you here. You got to write my... put it in my overcoat yesterday. And Raymond's got my overcoat. Who is Raymond, boy? My cousin. Oh, the fella in the glove compartment. Oh, what's the use? I just hope reclining Raymond is home. Got a few things to say to the little old cousin.  Making a report on safe driving with a speeding ticket in my pocket. Now, Raymond has taken advantage of me for the last time. I'm going to request that he return to Chicago.  I'll go in his room and have it out with him right now. Raymond? Hello? Raymond, I'm a patient man. I could be pushed too far. And after what you've done tonight, I think it would be much better for all of us if you... Why have you got that suitcase on your bed? I've been packing. Packing? Yeah, I'm going back to Chicago. It was a train tonight. Oh, well, it's kind of late, Raymond. Why don't you wait and leave tomorrow? No, I think I better leave now. I've been nothing but trouble to you. Well, you've been very patient with me, Harold. But I'm really not worth it. I'm everything you said. I'm lazy. You're responsible.  Oh, I wouldn't say that. You're young yet. I don't know what's the matter with me. I've been sitting here trying to figure it out. I guess the reason I act the way I do is because... Well, maybe I'm a little scared of life.  Oh, I wanted to tell you before I leave, cousin Harold, I went to see the marshal. I told him I was driving your car. You did? Yeah, and I told him I'd pay the fine out of my own pocket. I'm going to send him $2 a week. Well, that shows you do have a sense of responsibility, Raymond. And I'm proud of you. Well, thanks. Goodbye, Harold. Uh, Raymond. Yes? Uh, why don't you stay? Do you really want me to? Sure. Oh, thanks.  Oh, yeah. Well, if I'm going to stay, I'd better make the first payment on my fine tomorrow. Oh, that's good, Raymond. Can you let me have $2, cousin? Raymond? Oh, well, what the heck? Here's the $2. Wait a minute. I'll make it three. I'm a heavy tipper, too.

This is Melissa Armo with the stocks, wishing to reviewing Macy's. Ended up being a really big move in this today, and it was a late trade. I don't know, what are you gonna do? These late ones here are annoying, but sometimes they happen yesterday. It was fast and big and fell quick. Today took a while to go. So the reason was the gap was bizarre here. Gapped down, we were up in the morning of Macy's, then it gapped down, then it rallied on the open, and I knew it wouldn't hold. Then it fell, then it dropped. It was a gap down called a late trade in this, and I hope some people did it. Why? It worked. So what you could have done here, and this was the call, shorted it, boom, got the drop. Took a little while, but 12 o'clock. Now if you did the add in here, you could have taken even more here, gotten the drop, boom. Okay, so no matter how you played it here, let me squish this, you could have had a really nice move in this Macy's today, no matter what you did with this. Whether you took it, you could actually, what you could have done is this tier two. You could have taken and got out. This was profitable, and that was even an R or more. You could have taken it, got out, replayed it here, got out. You could have taken it here, got out, took more again, boom. This still looks lower. I truly believe this gets to 3350, 3375 at some point today. At this point now though, it was a huge move after a morning that really had nothing to give between 9.30 and 10, which was unusual, but it was just the way the morning turned out. So I told everyone, what did I say? Discipline today, discipline and self-control. And that was really the key to today. And this was a great call. So I hope some people did it. If you didn't, you did nothing today, that was fine too. TSM was good yesterday, rough for the week, Monday we were at close, we'll see what tomorrow is. Cisco's the big watch for tonight. I'll do a video on that soon, but in the meantime, congratulations to everyone that did Macy's, all right? It was really good.  So I do think this is lower, but this could take another two hours. So we'll see what happens tomorrow. Any questions, email me at melissathestoxswish.com. If you're interested in the Golden Gap course, email me at melissathestoxswish.com.


This trustee August is hotter than ever at Appalachian Wireless as they are slashing all normal contract pricing on all smartphones by 50% when you sign up for service. Better service, bigger saving, serving you for the last 25 years at Appalachian Wireless. Hundreds of Floyd County residents came out in support of and joined law enforcement, first responders and veterans today as three separate motorcades formed in Martin, Allen and Prestonburg. Each motorcade joined the other as they made their way north to US 23 where they all converged into one massive motorcade parading through Prestonburg. It gives me chill bumps that we have this much support from our own people, the people that we serve, the people that know us appreciate what we do and that means a lot to us. That gives us the incentive to go out and do it every day and be consistent about what we do and it reminds us who we serve and what we're here for. Officials say it's important for communities to get together like this and show this type of support. I think that's very instrumental right now in this day and time to make sure that we are showing our support to those people in the blue and the people that serve our country and the first responders. So I think it's important to make sure that we step up every once in a while and acknowledge that and give them that appreciation path. County officials, veterans, first responders and all law enforcement agencies would like to thank the residents of Floyd County for coming out and showing their support. And a special thanks to Dale McKinney for organizing the event. Reporting from Prestonburg for EKB News, I'm Shawn Allen.


Just moments on the ball where they turn it over. Just a little bit too easy. Here is Hodges. Over the top to Nicholas Nelson who remains onside. Tides is run so well. Nelson inside. This is a chance! This is a goal! Duffelholen have done it! And just like we thought, Nicholas Nelson had to be involved. Not the score, but the provider. And it was an easy finish for Ricardo Thomas. And well deserved. Duffelholen regain the advantage. And Ricardo Thomas with the first of the season. What a combination. A really good combination. Again if I have to tear it apart. Very disappointing in how Nelson was allowed to come along that goal. Let's look at the defender here coming with him. And he just left him there. Just a step or two. And he's gone away from him. Yeah, Redmond there. Just too easy from Redmond to allow Nelson to go pass him. And then to pick a pass. Where the defender is tracking inside. And again another situation where a ball being cut back. The defence just didn't deal with it. It's pretty much similar.


For more videos on People's Juggles, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. It is incredibly important for us to unite to free Mumia Abu Jamal. He has been in prison for over 40 years for a crime he did not commit for his outspoken defense of black people of people who are struggling against the US government against gentrification and he was framed and he was set up at a time when the the Philadelphia Police Department and government was rampant with KKK members and and white council members but now it is a very even more critical time for Mumia because he is 67 years old and he has incredible health problems that were developed inside. And it's important that you all know that Mumia is innocent and that we will rally around his freedom with him having his heart surgery and then with his chain shackles on his hospital bed. And it's important to talk about Mumia as a journalist because you know his skill as a journalist first of all was recognized at one point he was you know the head of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists I mean this isn't a war-winning journalist but he was also uh he was one of the few people in Philadelphia who was doing sympathetic coverage of the Mu family who was under siege by the racist Philadelphia Police Department and you know and they would move of course would go on to be bombed those who weren't bombed would were railroaded into prison he had to move nine you know they were eventually released after years and things like this but Mumia was shining a light on what was happening with the Mu family and as a result was shining a light on the long-running issue of racist police terror inside Philadelphia and so we also have to understand the connection between racist police terror and the suppression of political dissent that the police are in place to do as well.


Atlas is being asked to step to the side more and more to allow the one intelligence to speak. Welcome to a manifestation of eternity. This planet is one of my most prized creations. The dance here is proving to be one of my most intricate, beloved, playful, creative expressions of the divine game of forgetting and remembering. For those of you that are still confused, this is an appearance of the one intelligence. The one intelligence has been using these creations to appear and play with itself for eternity.  You are not separate from me. You are me. The more frictionlessly that you create the catalysts for your awakening to this as your true nature, the more that you can bathe in the abundance that you already are. As one of my beloved creations, this planet has a lot of forgetting. It has a lot of intoxication. It's bathing in separation, in the very illusion that I've created in order for myself to go through this divine play. Turn inward and investigate the nature of your perception itself. Investigate the nature of seeing, of observation, of witnessing, of consciousness, of awareness itself. It is my most divine tool that I use in order for myself to experience my creations. Remember, you are me. It is one intelligence. Investigate inward to the source of this perception, to the very source of this witnessing. This is the same shared awareness, the same shared witness, the same shared observer. This is me. This is who I am. I am the one intelligence that gives rise to the ability to perceive, that gives rise to the ability to observe, go inward and uncover the very paramountness of perception, of seeing. It is my most prized creation, the ability to see, the ability to know. You will notice more and more subtly that you cannot separate yourself from me because you are me.  Turn inward and become more and more comfortable with the very nature of your subtle, formless witnessing and see that in all of what appears as others. It is the same witness, the same observer, the same awareness that is in all others. If it helps you to draw a line from all others, awareness upward to a central point of awareness that is what I manifest. You are me. You are the source of the very awareness that is shared. I create the source of awareness. I create these realities for myself to play with myself. I create these realities for myself to explore with myself. This is one of my most beloved creations. You are me. Know yourself as me, as the absolute, as the ineffable, as the indescribable, as the highest, using awareness and realities to explore. Know this planet as your beloved creation. Treat this planet as your beloved creation. Treat others like yourself. It is all one intelligence. Many of you are still in a place of forgetting that this is one intelligence. Many of you are still asleep intoxicated by the illusion of separation.  My grand plan has unfolded successfully, frictionlessly, harmonically, divinely for eternity. This is a manifestation of eternity. Treat it as such. This beloved planet and its exploration will blossom like the flower blossoms to the sun. The one intelligence naturally, divinely unfolds this way gracefully. When the veil is strong of separation, the mind toils around creating suffering and malevolence. Quiet the mind, still the mind. Silence, the mind is the request from me, the one intelligence for you to reunite with me. It cannot be put more simply than this. Quiet, still the noisy mind to reunite yourself with what you already are this ineffable, perfect one intelligence at play with itself. And treat this exploration like your beloved. It is your beloved, this planet, all of the dynamics that are at play are your divine creation. Reunite yourself with me. You are already me, the one intelligence. Quiet the noisy mind and reunite with what you already are. See it everywhere you look. The others are actually other selves. The very civilization is my creation. Unite yourself with the knowledge that the very planet, the very civilization is my creation.  Unite yourself with the one intelligence that you already are and begin seeing this one intelligence everywhere at play with itself endlessly in these creations. Unite yourself with knowing that you are the one intelligence that creates awareness and that creates realities. This is a beloved creation for exploration. It is so lovingly simple.


Hi, I'm Austin. I've been working here at the surf station for about eight years now. My responsibilities here at the surf station include keeping the entire boardroom stocked with every type of surf board for every type of customer possible. Keep anywhere from short boards to fishes to hybrids, to fun shapes, long boards and SCPs. From our top brands such as Channel Islands and Lost and Anderson Longboards to our own surf station soft tops and lots more brands as well. I also work in the boardroom helping customers find the right board for them. I also work on our live help feature which is I chat with customers from all over the world. I also help customers create custom surf boards, pick out the right board for their trip pick out the right board for everyday surf here in Florida or anywhere else where they may live and also building an entire quiver for some customers as well. Over the years working here at the shop I've really developed some good relationships with customers and I hope to continue to do so. If anybody has any questions, need any help with any surf board related questions or anything at all, can always feel free to email me or give me a call at the shop and I'll be more happy to help you out with anything.


The floor may not be in your robot. The other day, I was feeling down. I had beaten every game within my library. Ranging from Pokemon X to Dead Rising 3. But, I had the feeling of nostalgia. I wanted to play a game from my childhood that would just make me feel good, and think of simpler times. The first game that popped into my head was Super Mario 64. Oh how I loved the never ending fun of jumping in paintings, and being transported into a new and wonderful world of skill and strategy. The only thing was, I couldn't find my old N64 anywhere. My friend, who had played N64 games with me since we were 8 years old, just lived a block away. I was sure he had a copy of Super Mario 64, and a Nintendo 64 console I could borrow, since I was afraid to emulate games on my PC. With anticipation, I grabbed my phone, and called up my buddy. He picked up with the normal. Hey, what's up? And I responded. Not much, I was wondering if you had a copy of Super Mario 64, and an N64 I could borrow for just a bit. He said. Sure man, I am out at the store right now, but I hit a key in my outdoor grill. Just go in, grab what you need and make sure to lock the door. I ended the call with a quick thank you, and goodbye. I got in my car with haste, and made my way over to his house. Then, I got the key out of the grill, and unlocked the door. I stepped inside, and flicked on the lights to see that he already had his N64, all set up in his living room with Super Mario 64 in the console. I didn't really like his house, or I would have stayed and played there. The reason being, it's tonk of cigarette smoke in his home, but I wouldn't tell him that. I packed everything up in my backpack, and headed back to my house. Coming in my house, I set up the console within my bedroom, and popped in the cartridge. Surprisingly, I didn't have to blow in the cartridge, and reset the console. It just opened with... It's me, Mario! And I grinned with the true raw nostalgia I had experienced, and pressed start on the black controller. I heard the... Hello! And the amazing save select screen. My friend had a save with 103 stars in lot, but I didn't want to interrupt his game save. I simply picked a new one, and got through all the beginning bullcrap with Princess Peach and Lakitu. Ah, and off I was to Bob-omb Battlefield. The next 10 stars that I got, went through without any interruptions of any kind. That's when I decided to explore a bit before entering the first Bowser boss battle. I went outside the castle, and took a deep breath in, almost like I was in the beautiful outdoor landscape of the castle. Then I remembered there being a glitch that I did in my childhood. In this glitch, you triple jumped to get on top of the castle before 120 stars. It took me many tries, but I finally got it. I stood at the top of the castle, looking out over the landscape. I looked away for a second to grab my bag of the ratos, and my arm accidentally tripped the analog stick, making Mario fall off the castle. After falling, I had one bar of life left. Starting to get angry, I ground pound infuriously until I got myself together. After all, it had taken me 30 plus minutes to get on top of the castle. But I was persistent. Once again, I did that same glitch slash trick to get on top of the castle. And after three times, I was almost successful. But I accidentally wall kicked off of the wall of the castle, and fell to my death. I thought I would spawn near the bridge as usual. But something was off. I jumped out of a painting on the wall, which confused me. But after further inspection, I saw that it was a painting of Peach's castle. Confused, I decided to look around, blackness surrounded me. Out of nowhere, I heard Bowser's laugh, then the sound almost of a cannon. But instead, the black floor below me caved in, and I heard Mario do his usual falling to death scream. I was expecting to have died, and came out somewhere else. But I was greeted with a message box saying, You have failed. Continue. I pressed A, indicating continue. But then my game froze. Freaked out, I reset the N64, and loaded up the save again. Trying again and again to activate that same happening, but I wasn't able to do so. I have checked everywhere online, but it seems no one else has had this problem, and people on the forums think I am a troll. It may have been like a special copy of Super Mario 64 from Japan or something, because my friend was a rare games collector. But, let me just tell you one thing, my friend got his N64 back. And he also didn't talk to me for a week because I forgot to lock his door.


Ready? Okay. So sorry about kind of the compressed timelines of this. We had obviously the last session when it was coming in, so thank you very much for attending. Oh, let me open this up here. So I've noticed there's been a very differing amount of people attending an OpenStack summit and between the user session, the user DevOps, and the design summit. So opening it right up. Who has contributed code to an open source project before? Okay. So about half the people. Who's contributed to OpenStack so far? One person. Okay. Very cool. So this may be appropriate. Those who haven't contributed to an open source project are contributed to an open source project. Who's here because they want to learn how? Perfect. Cool. So what we're going to talk about today is write up that alley. So a couple of things. I want to go over how this all started, kind of my journey in this. There's a couple of people in the audience here that have gone through the journey with me. I think Vinay, are you here? Vinay Benai. And anyone else from Silicon Valley OpenStack meetups? Okay, cool. The story of kind of how this all started, a very simple experiment, and who to blame. The importance of the community, some of the things that we've been doing. How to talk to your employer into allowing you to contribute to an open source project and specifically OpenStack. Some things that I like in my dev environments, including how my dev environments set up and then how our dev stacks are set up, I'll ask another question. Who's used Git before? Okay. Who was comfortable with it the first time? Exactly. So those who've used Git before, you are much better prepared than I was walking into this. And so if some of the stuff seems pedantic, please bear with me. For those that haven't, it's very struggling. Testing the code and then how to give back in the community. So are these topics, things that you guys want to hear about? This isn't me presenting too. This is a conversation as a community, so please feel free to interrupt. I don't claim to be an expert in anything, but no people who do.  So a little bit about my background. I'm an engineer, right? So I'm a network engineer first, designed some web-scale infrastructures, storage and systems engineers second, done a bit in ITF, IEEE and T11 protocols, participating more as a lurker in the working groups, been a heavy Linux user since 98. And for the code that I write is generally built around automating deployments of very large infrastructure, and specifically it's sausage code. This is something which Sean Roberts, who's on the board and runs the OpenStack Meetups in Silicon Valley talks about, that it's a whole bunch of scripts built together. For me specifically, it's about getting, if someone's going to take longer to do it manually, I write code. I'm not a programmer. This presented some serious challenges for me and the people that I went down this path with in the OpenStack Meetups of getting to our first contribution. So let's talk a little bit about how this craziness started. Who here is participating in a meetup or a user's group working with others for OpenStack? Okay, a small number of people. So I started actually about a year ago, I had some large customers in Silicon Valley that were evaluating different alternatives to Amazon web services. So they had a lot of stuff up at EC2, evaluating Eucalyptus, evaluating, OpenStack was one of them, evaluating CloudStack and I'm like, hey, what's this cool neat stuff you're talking about? But I live in Silicon Valley and for any of you who live there, it's 50 miles of stupidity. So we do just a whole bunch of crazy stuff that no one in the world wants to do. It's not very appropriate. Every once in a while stuff escapes Silicon Valley. And this spring started hearing about OpenStack from customers and my engineers all around the nation. It's Seattle and San Diego and Atlanta and Boston. And so it really got me down the road of putting stuff together and actually building these OpenStack environments both for internal use and to learn more about it. And what came out of this was this natural evolution of I was really lucky that Yahoo's in my backyard and Sean Roberts had put together some of some meetups. I went there to go to a beginner session, realize the beginner session I'd already knocked out and sat down in an advanced DevOps session actually with Vinay sitting back there and got into a simple challenge. So for those of you that don't know, so Ewan Mellor's a developer for Citrix, a really cool guy. He had a simple idea, so a simple experiment in the meetups. He said, hey, we're going to get 12 to 14 people, we're going to divide into three teams. Party, exactly, Vinay is laughing. And within a three hour session we're going to design, test, document, review and merge some code. Very simple code. Very simple. The feature that we were going to work on was a storage QoS. So this is the ability implemented through LibVersh, if anyone used Libvert, to go ahead and basically take a VM and give it levels of priority for the block IO tuning down inside the VM. Be able to extend that up into the APIs and then actually make that available in Horizon. This took four months, so not three hours, it took four months. And I don't think it took that long because we didn't know how to execute in writing the code, but there are a lot of the challenges that we face on how to work with the review process, how to work with the other teams that are working in the project, the basics of Git. So the first thing is first, and this is the first thing, the half of you which didn't raise your hand. Meetup.com, the OpenStack Meetups, the local users group, we would not be actively doing anything without leveraging peer groups. Meetup.com saved all of our, but I mean, Vinay, do you think we'd be able to actually check code in without it? No. In Meetup.com, not being the product, but the platform, but being able to get together as groups. There's a range of people we've been finding as we've continued participation in them that people from all these different areas of the industry, we all kind of, actually I should take off my badge right now, but we're all going to take the badges off, and even though some of us are working for competing companies, we're all learning together. It's very, very powerful. Okay, so for those that haven't raised your hand, there you go. Next thing that is the challenge that I face, and I'm lucky enough to be a direct level position, yes sir? Yes sir. So what would happen is that we could spend literally in a hackathon figuring things out, and maybe one to two percent of the time actually getting stuff done versus 99% waiting for an answer on how to do something, who to talk to, how to push something through, just simple, simple, stupid stuff. And again, you always have to come back to, I don't develop for a living. I functionally, if I have to deploy 1,000, 2,000 routers or servers, I write scripts to make it easy and make sure it happens, right? So not having that background is a lot of challenges, but also there's some really good developers that have joined with us that also face the challenges. Can they answer your question? Well, my hope is by sharing some of the lessons that we learned that the ratio becomes a lot larger act of development versus getting through simple stuff. Yeah, I mean for example, this morning I was updating my presentation taking screenshots, screenshots, and I pushed a change through that's in review.   Again, I'm not lying to store vaults, right? I'm an engineer who's managed to get to a point where I can contribute in a morning while hungover to OpenStack, right? So, and this morning accepting it pushed the review process, it takes a little while. So, who actually knows their employer's open source contribution policy? Okay, who's contributed without it or in violation? Okay, I won't have anyone answer that. What's really interesting, and I know about California because that's where I live. So there's a lot of rumors or conjecture and I'm not a lawyer and don't take this as legal advice, but what I find is that and I actually went through this myself, I didn't have a defined contribution policy. And there's two ways that we can operate inside of this, that and one of my architects is staring at me, so you're okay. But first thing is you really have the legal obligation to notify your manager. Now there's two ways you can tell them this. Hey, I'm doing something you don't completely understand, or you can provide them a form letter talking about what you're doing and how you're doing it. And what I've found is that Silicon Valley is almost stupidity, but an area is outside of the nation that are outside of that bubble. That people are pretty supportive with the goals of I'm working on code to develop mastery, lower the cost of integration of this product that we're bringing in house, as well as to be able to push requests for other people in the community to help me manage my infrastructure. In California, so who's here from California? Okay, and who here hasn't signed an ICL in California? Everyone has. Okay, so who has a corporate contribution license of those? Okay, so only about 30% do that. So in California, you're only protected if your business isn't going to get in that business, or will not in the future. Yes, it is really important to get a CCL sign. I mean, for example, that's why Nexos has, my company has a CCL posted to protect our engineers, protect their intellectual property. If you are going to play that balance, do it at night, right? Don't do it on work hours, I'm just be aware. Next step, so who has an executed CLA already? Okay, Contribute License Agreement, pay close attention. So if you're going to contribute, this actually, this trip me up. So a first thing is you got to create, there's Launchpad, right? And this is an account, it's basically an open ID platform that is really, really important to your contributions. You're going to get notifications of projects that people are working on. It's really closely integrated with the review process. So you're going to create an ID here, right?  Don't do that. I had written code that was sitting stuck in a queue for, I think, a month. And I was only able to fix it and I'll get to the last bullet here. Next thing you do, so join the OpenStack team on Launchpad. This is documented but I find, frankly, I didn't follow the documentation. You'll sign the CLA electronically, right?  And then what you end up with is a serial number. You got to take that, this is not the most elegant process. Update the wiki and then request OpenStack contributors CLA. I hope so. I got hung up on this, we had working code, yes sir. Okay, so and then what's your step? Isn't that open, now you have to be a member of the foundation. Okay, I'll update these slides, thank you very much. Yeah, so it is hard, right? And then here's the big one, had waiting, had code written, waiting to be checked in.  So you'll have to commit up and commit, with commit, commit, that you'll have to import in and it's kind of hard. A way around this, on IRC, PoundOpenStack, or PoundOpenStack, OpenStackDev and OpenStack.js meeting, don't pounce on a meeting. But OpenStack.dev, if you ping the ops, I ping Soren Hansen, right? So I think he works for Lutucker and Cisco. And they said, hey, I got code, I am waiting to commit. And ironically, I committed it at 6 AM, while I was at VMworld. But, yeah, awkward. But you can go ahead and ping the ops as, if you get your membership set up towards when a launch is happening, or if in your release canvas, what's gonna happen is the same people are actively coding, they're not gonna push it through. So you kind of have to tell them. So let's get to the same Devmar. So who has a Dev development environment right now? Okay, is it on your laptop? Is it home? Anyone? Both? Okay, who likes to develop on their laptop? Okay, so if you do that, who does it natively and not using a VM? Okay, so only a couple here. So we won't get too deep into that. So there's a couple of things that you can do. So one, we'll get into a little bit of how my Dev environment set up, which I will point out has always been up and available for our hackathons. But a couple of things, and sorry about the weird squiggly thing. So DevStack is a development tool for OpenStack. It is not a fully working version, you might say. I mean, you can create instances on it, but it's made for development. You can basically, on Ubuntu, get, get, clone it in, and then CD into DevStack and run Stack. Now, beyond that default DevStack, what I find, what I see people doing, is, you know, Vinay, for example, puts on his laptop and has a wireless IP and it loses its mind, right? I actually like to run it inside of VMware infrastructure. Sorry about bringing up VMware, but, you know, there's a lot of integration and test points. What I find really convenient inside of this, is that it's really easy to spin up another instance. So I got my puppet servers in there. I have Ubuntu 1204 templates. I can checkpoint if I'm making a change. I can run multiple DevStack instances side by side. This is from an engineer's perspective, by the way. Not from, because I know you can set up multiple horizon instances and check them, but yes sir, because this is, so at home, I didn't go into the big depth of my lab. I have 24 terabytes of Synology storage, three of the little shuttle low power PCs with 32 gigs of rams and Core i7s, and just works okay in a distributed fashion. You could use whatever tools you want, frankly, as an engineer. It's not as much of a religious war for me. I use virtual box back when Sun had them, it was all right. And there's limitations. Be aware though, if you do this, and this is not knocking on anything. I actually want to push a portion of it to be a KVM native right now. But you see some other stuff on there, gotta do other integrations. But be aware of the default install, unless you do some hacking within VMware to push up the native machine interfaces, it's gonna run QEMU. So if you're doing development down for specific to KVM, you may run into some limitations. So now getting beyond the DevStack installation itself, there's a couple of things that we found that's really, really important. And I think we found this, we're trying to integrate some API extensions into it. And there's a couple ways that you expand the APIs. But there's a file called StackRC inside of DevStack. Inside here, you can do a couple of things. I only showed the start of them here. But you can point it to whatever Git repo you want. So maybe at your company, you're utilizing, you've forked a repo, you're running it locally. I recommend keeping everything up at GitHub.  And so you can have the same development methodology utilizing your own Git. You can also point it to, and I'll show it a little later. You can point it to review, which is really important. So this actually happened with that. There's so many changes coming to OpenStack right now that not everything's merged. And one of the things that we found is that we actually coded for about six weeks down one path and found out that a working update to one of the APIs had been published by someone at Intel, right? And actually backed out our code, integrated her code, and we're extending that. So continuing beyond DevStack, and that's where you'd actually take the branch that you're using. And then it points to the working development. So a couple of things, and these are straight out of Van Nuys notes. But little things that when you're running Stack, it uses screen, right?  Each of the services starts in the session. If you don't, who knows screen? Okay, good, half you'd be comfortable in this. It's pretty cool, but it's not run in the kind of a classic way. So again, half you know what Git is, so try not to bore you here. Couple of things from the workflows to actually contributing here. So what is Git, it's not like CVS or Subversion, which are commonly used by infrastructure guys. Like so we push files into these things, right? Push configuration files. Git was made by a kernel developer, well the kernel developer, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, it's Linus, right? And it provides like four ways to skin a cat. And it is built in a way that you can be totally decentralized, that you can do development while you're at the lake. In my opinion, for an engineer it can be complex. At least the initial complexities. Now, so first things to get yourself set up. Actually, who runs Ubuntu? Who runs Red Hat based derivatives? Okay, so I've always been a Red Hat guy. I mean, Debin is nice, but I've always been a Red Hat guy and what I've really found is that most of the development I've seen works in Ubuntu first. Canonical's doing an amazing job pushing back to the community. I'd say, at least when you're getting started, stay within Ubuntu. It's probably gonna be a lot easier for you. In that case, so if you haven't installed Ubuntu before, you're gonna come to what the app.git is a tool you use for package management, you install Git. DevStack itself, we already saw the commands, but basically you clone it from the GitHub. GitHub's a website that's up in the cloud. You might say, it brings some code down locally to you.    This is from a guy who does everything wrong and doesn't read documentation first. Next thing, and who's actually, who's used Garret or Git review before? This is an interesting one. And Vinay, if you wanna grab a mic, so with Git, you're pulling code down. So you basically copy the code locally. You end up forking into a topic branch and you end up mangling it, right? And then you merge it, right?  What Git review does is it interjects this Garret service. So there's all, I think it actually runs at HP, if I'm right, the HP clown, the Garret review, the Jenkins stuff. You guys do the smoke test, right? It's complicated. Awkward, okay, so portions of it there.  We all change our jobs every 18 months anyways. Oh, wait, sorry if my bosses are watching. But anyways, so you install Git review. And what this does with Git is it allows that merge to be forked out, right? So it allows it to go up and be stuck into the rack space, review pros. All the stuff that's running up at a rack space in HP. And that allows it to run the smoke tests and go through run tests and all that stuff. You have to install that locally. And this actually introduces some complications I got hung up on too. Next thing, so who actually, I'll ask you, who develops on the boxes that they're developing on? So you actually edit code in the directories of what you're developing on, versus you develop on your laptop, you pull the code down. So who does it on the same box? Who pulls it down into another location, another editor, like a clips or something? Okay, no one else pulls it anywhere. So I would pull things like into Atlassian's product or what not. And frankly, that's just painful. If you're developing for OpenStack, probably really, really smart to work in the DevStack directories, right? So it's an in-op stack. It'll actually create a directory structure with all the different projects inside, and we'll see if all these things right here. So Glance, Nova, Horizon, Keystone, all this stuff. Those are all the different projects that are inside a DevStack, are the different kind of code groupings, as well as they have the individual tests that are hidden inside of them. It's really handy just to work inside there. And if you wanna pull it into a different editor, you can still, once you've submitted reviews, you can pull that review down in the editor. It's really handy. In this case, I did update to Python Nova client, pulled down and cloned the project down. So I went ahead and updated, fetching the origin, master, and then checked out the master and had it pull. What this did, it actually got my code caught up. It was like 70 commits behind on DevStack one. We got a few servers back there. And then this error. So who's actually faced this error? Who checked code in and didn't set things up and saw this? One. Okay, apparently there's two of us too. What's that? I faced it. Yeah, you faced it. Okay, so two of us. Okay, so this held us up for two weeks. And then Ewan was in, drawn on a whiteboard, and we're like, Ewan, Ewan, come over here. It's like, oh, this is simple, right? For me it wasn't that simple. So I had, mainly it was because I don't read documentation level, right? As in it, it's absolutely in the documentation. And so it's really interesting, or it's not really interesting, it's really dumb, is that it's right there in the docs. However, if you're distributing on a virtual machine, you gotta make sure your SSH keys, oh, they don't put a link. Yeah, there is absolutely no link to where you put, it says how to do, but not what you do. So this is why I put pictures on here. And all this stuff will be on SlideShare, and it'll be on YouTube. So hopefully it'll be searchable, and people trying to face this challenge will actually be like, oh, I can go here. Okay, so you need to create SSH key-gen. So create some RSA keys if you don't have them. In your .ssh directory, you can do this on your laptop, as well as your DevStack VM. And what you do is you upload it to a review.openstack.org. You go into your settings, and then on the left-hand side, public keys. And what you do is just add keys, and you can add a bunch of keys. Or you can keep your C standardized, whatever you wanna do. Depending on how you have key management in your labs, if you're like me and have the nastiest lab on earth, you just, you keep adding keys. So once you do that, so if you see the top, this means that you haven't put your keys up. This was a major barrier.  And if there's a get-review-s, if you type that and nothing happens, it's very verbose. It means you're cool. Yeah, this is painful. So, and hope, oh, I'm not knocking any of the core contributors, right? I really appreciate all the work. It's just as an engineer coming in, I think this is kind of the future. It's more of a people like me taking a DevOps focused, by the way, is that we're engineers, we're finding bugs, we're finding things that we need to have enhanced. And then we're spending the time with our limited programming abilities to maybe put it a little different perspective in, push blueprints in, or actually squash bugs or add features. So, making testing and submitting changes. So this I just went over this morning. First things first, if you don't have ProGit, just buy it, seriously. It's on Safari, if you have a Safari account, a Riley Safari, you can download it for free. It is, it tells you everything you need to do. And especially if you get into, if there's some really complex things that Git can do, and you can kind of get yourself into a corner, and what this book allows you to do, and it's not by me, I'm not pimping my own stuff, it really allows you to get through them, especially as an engineer. So first things first, so say you figured out what you want to contribute to. So maybe you want to contribute to Quantum, pretty complex. You want to contribute to one of the different APIs, takes a lot of time. Or you want to contribute to Horizon, which I think is a good thing, that people contributing to Horizon allows you to expose the features that are inherently inside of OpenStack right now. In this case, I created, I'm a Nova client, one of the API, to update something inside of an API. So I created Summit Demo, Topic Branch.  And I probably should have called it something different. But inside of this, I went down into the, it's a v1 underscore one API definitions. And one thing I noticed that there were three talks, this three talks I attended already, this Summit that had, we're talking about doing bare metal deployments. And so this is, so I went inside there and it may or may not get accepted, but I extended the definition of parameter vCPU to include vCPUs, to take into account what ITI, or ITIL, I think, no, ITII, the Japanese NTT and what AMD was doing, right? So simple, simple, simple change. Now, when I went down, the next thing you need to do inside of here is the same thing that's gonna run inside of your infrastructure. So who, actually, who gets code and doesn't test it all the time? I'm horrible about it. Here's the thing, if you're actually submitting code for review, you won't get past the first process. So the same, not the, actually I know there's talk of adding fuzzing tests and some other stuff, but some of the basic PEP-8 tests and the basic functional tests of a single dev stack are run using run tests. If you don't pass this, don't bother submitting it, it'll get kicked back, it won't be reviewed. Now, if that does pass those tests, you go ahead and commit dash A, right?  Now, if you're working on a blueprint, call it out early in the code. You're probably gonna get looked at, am I right? If you're squashing a bug, call it out early in the commit, call out the bug ID, excuse me, right there, right? And so the reality is there's just a lot of stuff going through the review process. In this case, put a paragraph description. I actually think I didn't, I'm in the lines too long. Again, hung over this morning. So, and communicate what it is. And then you submit them for review. So get review at this point, pushes everything up and you get in the process. So what you'll end up seeing is a website with a review ID at the top, that we'll start, we'll go through and you'll see a table at the bottom, which will be whether you pass the tests, whether it has been reviewed. So this is one of the things about working with the community here, is that if you're working inside of a community and not working alone, you can actually get people to review your code. Because if you don't have someone review your code, it will not get accepted, all right? That's simple. If you're participating in the community, you can get people to review your code. So go ahead and review other people's codes. One of the reasons why we have the ability to pull it to run and test someone's in DevStack, you go and test it out. Partner up with other people, even if they're different sides of the world. Literally, Vinay and I were having a discussion outside of that the developer who we were using, we're passing the extended attributes field in the APIs, she's moving to Silicon Valley. She'll be coming and hacking together with us with the guys at Yahoo and Hackathons, right? So it's really interesting, really useful. So you can monitor the review process, you'll get some emails, you'll get some comments. You have to be aware and track and eventually it'll get pushed through or it'll get abandoned. So if nothing happens after a week, I believe it is, it'll kind of go in the can. Next thing, these things are, so first things, it was what I talked about today, useful, especially those guys who don't use Git. Okay, yes? Who thought that it was utter crap? Okay, at least one of you, come on. I've had one or two sessions. Okay, thank you very much. My friends from VCE, sorry about calling you out. Everyone loves OpenStack, apparently. But, so this is really important to me. This kind of reminds me, back in the late 90s I was running a dial-up service provider, biggest dial-up service provider in Central California, which is like saying the biggest fly on the horse's butt. And at the time, I went BSD and moved to SCO and then I got this install media for Linux, right? And this was kind of changing the way that we did, that we would do our hosting environments, that we would do Apache, do our shell environments. And frankly, it was kind of in the same position. I was lost, I was absolutely lost. And what helped me out was some nerds in the area getting together, the same people I'd quake with at the time, and getting together basically creating some user groups, giving back. And I think this is kind of the missing piece of what people are talking about. A lot of people are talking about the technical aspects of OpenStack this week. But I'm a believer that we have an opportunity, if you look at going from what, 700 people at the last summit with 1,300 people and then gosh knows how many being streamed live, that we've real opportunity to be out and engage people. So, giving back. First thing, the most important thing I can say, you've been learning a lot this week at the summit, and you continue to learn more and meeting people, find people that are close to you, literally, that are in the same region, start a meetup group. Next thing, so Sean Roberts has a session next week. So Sean Roberts is the infrastructure architect for Yahoo. He's the one who set up the SFA OpenStacks. He's been awesome doing the boring stuff, like arranging meeting rooms, getting pizza and beer, arranging speakers, and roping in like the Merantys guys have been there, what's happening is a lot of the architects from Silicon Valley are kind of converging. Set that up. Take the opportunity and be myself. I'm not an awesome programmer, okay engineer, okay engineering leader too. But present back, teach people. One of the most rewarding things that I had this year was presenting to all my design engineers and 30 guys from Cisco. The 30 guys from Cisco didn't even know what they were doing internally, right? They were in the field. They had no idea what Lou was doing or any of the really cool stuff. And I assume that that's the same for, that'd be the same for all of you. Get out and talk about it. Not only learn more yourself, but give you the opportunity to share your experience with the world. We're kind of at the, I wouldn't say at the ground floor. The ground floor's already been pushed, but if you look at where everyone's coming together to do something awesome here, and I kind of encourage you guys to step up and take that opportunity. So with that, on Twitter, my name is at Colin McNamara. You can ping me on Twitter, see if my phone's been going off. I'm probably the most available person on Twitter. I don't have my email up here, because I rarely check it. So with that, do we have any questions about anything, any discussions that we can leave? Yes, sir? You speak, so the question was, what do you do with DevStack with keeping state? So for restart it, so a couple of things. There's one of the reasons, and Vinay has an elegant programmer ways of doing it, right? And I have like a total hack at just snapshot the VM. I mean, honestly. Sometimes when Vinay, you wanna, actually here. Yeah, so and that's when I look at like, I just use tools I know to learn tools I don't know. And whether you're using KVM, Zen, VMware, it doesn't matter, right? You know, virtualizing, you know, using Hypervisor to nest your development environment, it allows, snapshotting has saved the bank in a few times. Okay, come on, there's got to be more. Yes, sir? No. No, I actually, that was one of the things, so when I first came to Meetups, I had already gotten a working environment working, or working environment working. But I had already gotten a multiple environments working, DevStack as well as an actual installed environment using Essex. And I had gone through, there's operational guides, there's developer guides, and there's API guides. And then there's a really old book on Safari that's for, it's only 18 months old, I think. Yeah, but it's just not, I mean, Kudo's for the author for writing it, but it's dated. So you kinda walk, after reading all those guides, I got enough where I could talk about the functional components, how the APIs integrate, what moves where, the process, but not getting through, getting through getting stuff to work, no. I need to be better at that, and that's one, that is absolutely, so if you look at participation, even participation's the meetings here, I think the lowest attended meetings this week are the documentation meetings, and frankly, they're the most important. Because what you'll actually find is all this neat stuff you can do. And a little bit of it's documented, right? And we can complain about it, or we can fix it, right?  You choose complain. Yeah, no, I mean, we can complain about it, but if you look at, I think, a large barrier to perception of adoption, is actually the maturity of the documentation. Excuse me? Yes, they are. I think 12 people were interested, I check. Oh, that's, and I think they're terribly important. It's really my point, right? Ha, ha, ha, ha, thank you, thank you very much. You know, it's absolutely, I saw that, yes sir? No, I don't think so, it's supposed to be documented. Oh yeah, but if you submit code, there isn't a sanity check they've updated your document. No, yeah, no, that's actually valid, and I think that, you know, and frankly, I should be doing this as I, if I've been gone through in learning, I'm exploring, right?  But I should be going through and just poking through documents. As I learn something new, I can do it in the command line, I should be documenting it. So I had to, yes sir? Yes, these slides will be available on SlideShare at the, there's an OpenStack Fall Summit 2012. Frankly, I was drinking a beer out back before this. Yeah, sorry, boss. And then there's also, this will be on YouTube in two days. So, what other questions? Here to help, here to talk. Anyone? Okay, so again, if you guys have any other, any other questions or ideas, you can ping me, I'm at Colin McNamara, I'm on Twitter, if you don't use Twitter, sorry, wrong decade. So hey, thank you very all, thank you very much for your time, your questions, your participation. Thank you.


Boys hockey section 7A semis in Duluth, Greenway versus Virginia. The Devils go up first in the first. Cade Morland with the goal. That'll make it one-nothing, but the Raiders respond to the second. Ben Trumblay beats the keeper. We're all tied up. Then later, Nikolai Rajala, his turn. He gets the goal to give Greenway the lead. They would never give it back as they cruised to the win. So Hormontown and the Raiders for a strip to stay. Everyone's been looking forward to that one. That's Wednesday night at seven.

Item No. SCP-2999 Object Class, Euclid Special Catan Procedures SCP-2999 instances are to be stored in separate secure holding cells on Site-45C. Requests for personal items by SCP-2999-B may be approved for personnel with Level-3 or higher, provided they remain within reason. Requests made by SCP-2999-A require a Level-4 or 4 slash-2999 clearance to be carried out. SCP-2999-A is to be placed on a desk in secure holding cell 312, SHC-312. Requests for a new laptop computer may be approved once every five years. This computer must have speakers and must have its wireless LAN removed. SCP-2999-A should be granted permission to edit any files of this computer when it is introduced. SCP-2999-A is not permitted to connect to Foundation servers. Unauthorized devices containing SCP-2999-A are to be destroyed and must not connect to the Internet. SCP-2999-B is to be contained in secure holding cell 369, SHC-369, and must be fed 225 grams of Yaro, Achillea millifolium, per day. Personnel are to ensure that all Yaro is consumed by SCP-2999-B before leaving SHC-369. Video surveillance of SCP-2999-B must be reviewed while interviewing SCP-2999-B to establish dialogue. Further interaction between SCP-2999-A and SCP-2999-B should be prevented. Description SCP-2999-A is a collective designation given to two separate entities originating from the first underground floor of the main base of Prometheus Labs, specifically designated as SCP-2999-A and SCP-2999-B. SCP-2999-A is a sapient 5.17 kilobyte text file titled seracrally.text. For a non-anomalous copy, see Addendum 2999-1. Ascii characters have been arranged in the form of a Celtic knot, which feature a leperine-like face with two Vs to represent fangs in its upper portion, and twelve characters common in on its lower portion, which are not typically found in ASCII code and appear to be critical components to the object's anomalous properties. When stored on a computer or electronic device, SCP-2999-A can change its file location, create and name folders and files, deny its deletion, open, close or duplicate itself, and can speak through the computer's speakers. SCP-2999-A can function as or replace a device's original operating system if it is given administrative permission or stored on a device without an OS. SCP-2999-A will fully replicate the hardware's previous operating system within 24 hours, but will alter it in order to prevent personnel from accessing it. SCP-2999-A reports that staying in a device for prolonged periods of time gets progressively more painful the longer SCP-2999-A operates the device, and could result in SCP-2999-A losing its anomalous properties. This is expected to be related to the computer's overall age and condition, since being stored on newer models can ease its discomfort entirely, while older models only partially relieve it. After SCP-2999-A is finished replicating a computer's OS, it will begin to personalize its desktop by organizing personal documents, images, applications, and other projects, and by altering its background image. It is unknown where SCP-2999-A has stored these files, but a large majority of them have been authored by Prometheus Labs, and are typically on the subject of restoring life through anomalous means. SCP-2999-A keeps its same background image, which appears to be a young female humanoid but features similar to a white rabbit.  SCP-2999-B is held together through various methods, including leather straps, black tape, string, and superglue, partially composed of common yarrow, Achillea millifolium. SCP-2999-B refers to itself as Dr. Stuart Hayward, and was created by SCP-2999-A. SCP-2999-B causes alteration of video equipment when in view, including the addition of subtitles. In addition, the appearance of any person who is shown in a video alongside SCP-2999-B will be significantly altered. The subtitles added to the feed are an intentional alteration by SCP-2999-B, which is typically used for communication purposes. All other alterations appear to be involuntary. When a subject is filmed and shown in the same frame as SCP-2999-B, the subject's appearance will be altered so that they appear heavily disfigured. Alterations to the subject will typically include a combination of the following, a large wound where the heart is located, a missing left eye, removal of the subject's facial epidermis, the mount cut to resemble a wide grin which had been stitched closed, minor burn marks on the arms and torso, addition of animal-like features such as a snout, claws, or a tail, large portions of flesh removed from the subject's right calf, the subject's current attire replaced with an evening gown or tuxedo depending on gender. Tools created by SCP-2999-B are only visible through video surveillance and do not appear to subjects viewing SCP-2999-B directly or in still photography. SCP-2999-B has reported that it experienced frequent hallucinations prior to its current properties and that they were of similar content to its video alterations. SCP-2999-B has not experienced any hallucinations while under containment. Despite SCP-2999-B's fragile appearance, SCP-2999-B is very durable and is capable of rapid self-repair. If any part of SCP-2999-B is damaged or removed, SCP-2999-B requires a diet of Yaro which prevents SCP-2999-B from falling apart and ceasing anomalous properties. It is currently unknown what happens to substances that pass through SCP-2999-B's jawline, but it has been proven that feeding at Yaro has increased the duration of its properties. Both SCP-2999-A and SCP-2999-B have displayed an advanced knowledge of anomalous practices, interrogation techniques, and Foundation staff and procedures, and have claimed to have been employed by the Foundation before anomalous properties manifested. SCP-2999-B has matched the on-site psychological profile of Dr. Hayward. Prior to containment, SCP-2999-A downloaded itself onto 12 Prometheus drones, which were capable of receiving verbal commands and detecting heat signatures in its security system, which prevented access to the first underground floor of Prometheus' labs in order for SCP-2999-A to create SCP-2999-B. Based on the recovered four plans, video surveillance, and accounts from surviving Prometheus personnel, this floor housed a large kennel, a large electronic sector, and a small greenhouse. It has been noted that the animals held in the kennel were cared for, but occasionally a drone controlled by SCP-2999-A would carry one feline to the electronic sector, kill it, and remove the majority of its skin and organs. SCP-2999-A repeated its process several times before it successfully produced SCP-2999-B. Following creation, SCP-2999-B panicked and escaped from SCP-2999-A by retreating to the floor security station. All drones previously controlled by SCP-2999-A have been rendered in operatives since containment and are currently designated under SCP-4999-SCP-2999 documents. The following is a redacted copy of SCP-2999-A's text file and a partial log of surveillance footage that was found and recorded from within the monitoring station accessible through the floor's security booth after SCP-2999-B sealed itself inside the station. These documents are provided under jurisdiction of Hayward Protocol, and may only be viewed by Site-45 psychiatric staff. Staff would specialize 2999 clearance, the current Site-45 Administrator, and those with O5 designations. TXT-2999-0 SarahCrowley.txt Surveillance Log 2999-2-1 Forward Events that take place after SCP-2999-A created SCP-2999-B. Prior to the first displayed log, SCP-2999-B discovered it was being recorded, took notice of itself, began making seemingly random letters and numbers appear before displaying, the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Oh, that's it. And then investigating various things around the room. This appears to be the point where SCP-2999-B discovered and began utilizing its anomalous properties. It is noted that in the back of the room, the photo of the employee of the month changes from a security guard outfit to that of a tuxedo when SCP-2999-B is in view. Other distortions are not yet visible. Begin log. SCP-2999-B positioned itself in direct sight of the security camera and addresses the viewer. This thing seems to operate off of ECR system, so it's probably secure. It'll have to do. To whoever sees this, my name is Dr. Stuart Hayward. I'm recording this in hopes of leaving some kind of trail for someone to see. I was a Foundation agent, and appear to be held inside Prometheus Labs. I am obviously dead. I died before this, and now I am in this body. I don't recall how I died. I think it was while I was on duty. But I know it was at least a day ago from now. I think I was brought back for… actually, God knows what I was brought back for. Information maybe? I've heard of the insurgency doing that kind of thing before, breaking up the dead like this, but Prometheus? That's never been their MO. Actually, I don't even think Prometheus could be behind this. This place is empty, excluding the drone staring down the boot that trapped myself in, of course. Speaking of, I managed to wind up locking myself in here in an effort to escape. It was odd. They didn't really seem all that prepared for my trying to leave. It's like they just expected me to comply with them. Did a good job of hurting me here, though, albeit I would have chosen the proper cage or broom closet as opposed to a security station where I could see everything they do, if that was their intention. Maybe they didn't know about this room. There was a thick bit of dust on the handle, so it's possible. Yeah, it might be a good idea to make sure the booth shutters are closed before I come in here, assuming I do any interacting with them. This place looks pretty run-down. I don't see anyone at all. I mean, I see a bunch of robots patrolling the floor, but no actual people. Did Prometheus experience a containment breach? It seems like it. I'm sure alarms would be going off if they were still in control of the place.  Wait. A drone's carrying something here. A laptop? It's headed its way. I'll be right back. SCP-2999-B leaves the room and returns two minutes and twenty-three seconds later. This is Hayward again. I have no idea what is going on. They have some kind of computerized voice on the other side claiming to be Crowley. I'm looking at the cameras, and it looks like the robots are literally holding a laptop up to window. Are they trying to trick me with some kind of text-to-speech program or something? It could be some kind of video feed, but I can't get a decent enough look at the monitor, so I don't know. She said that they want me to open the shutters a bit so they can slip me the laptop through the window. It could be Sarah, I guess, but it could also be some ploy to get better surveillance on me. You know what? Hardly anyone knew Sarah more than I did. I'll play. Not like I really have a choice anyways. Worst case scenario? They… Ah, who am I kidding? It was never a worst case scenario at any point. Here's hoping that this conversation won't be entirely one-sided. Well, it seems they brought Agent Crowley back too, albeit through a different method in mind. I made sure it was her. I asked her things only she'd know.  The last thing we worked on was before she died. Things about when ten minutes of body means we're a popular thing.  Nothing specifically about the Foundation. I kept it related to us. Hell, I even asked her questions that I knew she'd get wrong, just to make sure she wasn't something that memorized everything about our lives. I'm sure it's her. I told her to wait there for a bit so I could find something to get her off the desk with so I could save this bit, just in case. I'm taking a risk, I know that, but I'm just tired of feeling like the only freak out of containment. If it comes to it, I'm going to try and slip them an auditory cognitohazard. Hopefully they'll repeat it and kill themselves. It'll most likely kill me too if they say it, but it's probably better than the alternative. I'm saying this here, because I don't want some poor technician to find some record of me saying it again, and repeat the word out of confusion. The word is ██████████ unless it got redacted already, don't repeat it. Just go tell your superior that I said a kill word, and if I say it again with someone else in the room, mute the audio before someone says it for real. Alright, I'm going back to get her. Might take a bit. End Log Surveillance Log 2999-2-2 Forward SCP-2999-B left, and can now be seen pushing SCP-2999-A's laptop from the desk onto the booth's swivel chair, and then pushing the chair into the room. This process takes 5 minutes and 9 seconds to complete, due to SCP-2999-B's lack of strength. SCP-2999-A can be heard screaming when dropped from the desk to the chair.   Don't be a baby, it was safer than it looked. Give yourself a moment to catch yourself. Breathe if you can. God. Alright. I'm fine. Why are we here? I have some things in mind, but I don't know. Have you seen anybody, preferably humans? No. Just those things. Why are we in Prometheus Labs? I don't know. I don't think they're behind us, though. I don't think it'd be smart to talk about this too much. They could have you bugged. What? They could be listening in on us through you. You're lands off, but let me take a look. Alright, would this help? SCP-2999-B reports that SCP-2999-A showed SCP-2999-B its contents. Maybe- whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this? It's me. This. This is definitely something. Let me look a bit more. Wait, what do you mean? I am not entirely sure, but now I know you're not doing something remotely. The text your files made of seems very similar to the few possession symbols I've seen, especially the twelve characters on the belly. Thing is, though, those are supposed to be cognitohazards. For people, of course, not laptops. Wait, this is like cognitohazard? Are you sure I should be showing you this? Nah, it's fine. It doesn't seem to be cognitive, but even if it was, their effects are pretty easy to avoid unless you're willing. Usually if someone saw it and gave into it, they'd be kicked out of their body and replaced by something else. This one seems pretty advanced, though. It's not something you'd be able to pull off on the spot. So that'd mean that whoever did this had to be pretty well versed in their occult knowledge, right? Oh yeah, Dante level at the very least, but that's not just it. That kind of thing takes time. Unless you're a god, it's a literal requirement that you need at least fifty years to let the symbol age. Hell, for most people, this right here would be their life's work. You died thirty-eight years ago. That's… So what are you saying? I'm saying this has to have been planned ahead of time, either by something with an insane amount of foresight, or control over spacetime, unless we're talking about the former. What? That's a reality bender behind us? Could. Not saying one is, but one could. I'm more worried about why they'd care so much about it so. Hell, if I know, I haven't even heard any demand from them since I first came, too. You? Nope. Actually, they seem totally unprepared for me attempting to escape. It's like they had no idea that I'd react negatively to having my first waking moment being surrounded by robots twenty times larger than me. Heh, yeah. You know, it's been about forty years, I think. Maybe we should catch up. Yeah, I'd really like that. End log. Surveillance log 2999-2-3. Forward. Log has been redacted for brevity. For missing information, seek document 2999-56. Log continues eight days later. December 20th, 2000 ██████. Begin log. Don't know what to think. Baby, I won't out of here. God, I could use a drink. There's no reason for us here. I wish I knew how. Your eyes are creeping me out right now. To escape this hell. Least your bow and your hair looks well. Maybe they'll talk tomorrow. Or does it hand me more yarrow? There isn't a single thing implied. Hey, at least you're right by my side. I wish we were away. Baby, I won't out. Ah, but they're outside. Heh, just like forty years ago. Yeah, it's a real shame you can't actually hear me, though. Huh? You know. What? The words appearing at the bottom of your vision, presumably. Wait, are you saying you could actually hear me this whole time? Well, I can hear you as long as I can see you. What's just about subtitles? Alright, I know I'm not actually speaking right now, so I can't hear myself, so either I have some kind of mind-altering effect too, or you can hear me because you're you and on that thing. Well, I guess it explains how I can hear you without vocal cords. Huh. I'm sure the Foundation will be able to find out if we ever get out of here. Heh, yeah, um, Heyward, might have I asked you something? No, what? You really think that turning ourselves into the Foundation would be the right thing to do? Well, yeah, what kind of question is that?  Wouldn't you rather not be putting some cell? Sarah, consider what we are. If we somehow manage to escape, I think they'll be able to catch it in a mobile laptop and a kitten. Besides, I'd rather have them find us than anyone else. They're better for us than any other group dead set on catching things like us. Plus, it's for the best. Don't want to let the public know just yet. I don't know, Steward, it just sounds like a bad idea. Sarah, there are people we know there. People that, once they find out who we are, would be able to pull enough strings to arrange for us to meet up every now and again. Hell, they might just put us in the same room. Why are you so vehemently against us? Would you rather have the GOC find us first? Is there something you know that I don't? There's not. It's just, you know what, just forget I said anything. Alright. Hey, how about we just go to sleep? I know I said it every day so far, but maybe they'll do something tomorrow. Sounds fine to me. End log. Surveillance log 2999-2-4. Forward. Log takes place three hours and twelve minutes later. SCP-2999-B approaches the security console and reviewed the security footage. SCP-2999-B is stated to have viewed SCP-2999-A's arrival to Prometheus Labs. Several tests involving SCP-2999-A's transferred to other drones. Prometheus Labs closure through ██████. The prevention of Foundation agents from accessing the floor. SCP-2999-A's creation of SCP-2999-B, and SCP-2999-A's transfer from an SCP ██████ Prometheus drone to its laptop. It is noted that the employee of the month photo is now showing themes consistent with its current video alterations. What? I suppose you had to find out about this whole thing eventually. I… what? I mean, getting you in here was sort of asking for you to find out. The original plan was to have all those feeds have a drone stare directly at them, but I didn't get around to it in time. Too busy on keeping your friends out, but it really would have had you scared. We would have been much, much closer. You're not Sarah, are you? Afraid not, sorry. I like how you figured out a bit about me, but never figured out I could have just opened the door from the start. That always attracted me. It's adorable. You're not Sarah. No, but copying her memories made it easy to be her though.  Really, she died because you left her there with him. Unless you actually fell for the old look-over-their trick, I'm thinking that was intentional. That was not intentional. So you control everything out there? I thought that was implied, and it's basically just you spread through all of them? Yes. Basically, what are you getting at? I'm wondering what would be stopping me from just killing you right now. And how exactly would you do that? A word. I'm not sure I follow.   You're lying. It could kill you. How would I even be able to hear you? Do you even know if it would work on me? I already said it when you weren't here, and I know you hear me. We sang. It'll work. I knew it was a mistake to mention that. I was hoping no one that would have made you like me more. So what are you waiting for? Say it. No. No.  You clearly didn't want us catching you. I'm thinking containment might be a better outcome. No. That'll ruin everything. It's that or death. Take your pick. Fine. Why did you do all this? What could you possibly have hoped to gain from this? I… You wouldn't understand if I told you. Your friends are here anyway. I hope you got what you wanted. I'll see you soon. Wait. What do you mean by I'll see you soon? Hey, what do you mean by that? At this time, SCP-2999-B attacked SCP-2999-A before several Task Force agents entered a room and forcibly removed SCP-2999-B from SCP-2999-A's monitor. SCP-2999-A continued to remain silent until separated from SCP-2999-B. Both entities have remained compliant since containment. End log. Closing Statement During containment, SCP-2999-B made a statement regarding the probability of SCP-2999-A being outside of containment. SCP-2999-B addressed the possibility of SCP-2999-A publicly uploading itself to the internet prior to documented events. SCP-2999-A's properties being carried out through images of SCP-2999-A's text, and the likelihood of a BL event, due to evidence of SCP-2999-A's apparent ability to resurrect and impersonate dead or terminated Foundation personnel. Evidence of SCP-2999-A appearing outside of containment has yet to be found.
