I know a fair amount of the famous geeks on the planet, e-mail many of them regularly, and have had some of them at parties and conferences I've run. I am almost one of them (will have a higher profile soon when I finish writing a book).
The guy in the year before me at school is the Hoddle St massacre dude. I didn't know him though - my own year level had 300 students and I didn't know most of them either. My school has more people in the Australian Who's Who than any other school in Australia, so I wont drop too many names as it's simply not fair to the rest of you. 😉
