Mr Fry blogs. On open source

A stray column on a blog I read (one rather better known, I suspect, than almost all the others I read put together) (it's eschaton, atrios's blog) noted that Stephen Fry has a blog.
Now, there is only one Stephen Fry: at least as far as I am concerned: he is the man to whom Emma Thompson turned in Peter's Friends and said "Fill me with your little babies!"; Blackadder's Duke, General, and nemesis all those years.

I watched Fry and others in Footlights a year or two ago (here a year or two should be read as a decade or seventythruvizx): if pressed, I could probably still recreate a bad joke or none from the revue. Needless to say, I'm a fan. Even of his books, which are merely hilariously funny.

And I go to read said blog, only to discover that he has the same proclivities as I, that is to say, he's a linux and open source bigot!

Oh my. I now have two things in common with Mr. Fry! Does this mean that I have a chance to become a success in the future too?

Yours, aspiring,
N.
