This page will (hopefully) become a meeting point for all people called Schwickerath or affiliated with them. This is supposed to become an open forum for discussion, meetings, stories, history, searching and finding family members.
As of now (May 15th, 2006) the plans are rather vage about the form in which this exchange point will be realized. If you are a Schwickerath or want to find out more about us, visit this page now and then or write me so that I can accumulate some data, ideas, suggestions and proposals on the content and the form of this page.
Pavel Machek's brain exploded one day, and as he was picking up the broken shards, he noticed that the 2.4 Linux kernel has a 'year 9223372034708485227 problem'. According to his tests, on January 1, 9223372034708485227 all 2.4 systems will cease to process commands, and just give segfaults. He said, "I wonder how much damage it will do to my filesystems: touch foo seems to store the right year into reiserfs. I wonder if it is still there after reboot? No, it is not. That looks like kernel bug :-)." Kernel Traffic #278 For 19 Oct By Zack Brown
