 Man Bakes Cake With Recipe From Net!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A Hamilton (New Zealand) Analyst Programmer, Simon Travaglia, was caught last week baking a cake from a recipe he found 'On the Internet..'.
Police noted that Travaglia had in his posession sophisticated cake-baking apparatus including an oven and several professionally crafted spatulas, which, if used properly, could have produced 10 or more cakes in a single day.
At the time of his arrest, Mr Travaglia was apparently in the process of making several scones which were appeared destined to be stored in 'scone-caches' around the city.

 Cyberpunk Archives--BOFH
Not long ago, Simon Travaglia was a lowly system operator for Waikato University in Hamilton, New Zealand.
Travaglia says he doesn't remember exactly when he starting writing BOFH - sometime between 1989 and 1991 is as close as he can get - but he does remember being surprised by the reaction to the stories.
Travaglia did no promotion beyond grudgingly placing old episodes on an FTP site, and later on a Web site.

The newer BOFHs (at http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/30/index.html), with his Sidekick (and I mean Kick) The pimply-Faced Youth (PFY), dont kill so many people, but are still up there enough that the BOFH could quite legitamately claim a spot with the four horseman of the apocolypse
The postings were an immediate hit, and people began to email simon, demanding more.
Several times Simon has tried to kill the BOFH, with no success, just like the enivitability of management, the BOFH has been rekindled.
