  1. "All Those Years Ago" is a song by the English rock musician #GeorgeHarrison, released in May 1981 as a single from his ninth studio album #SomewhereInEngland. Having previously recorded the music for the song, Harrison tailored the lyrics to serve as a personal #tribute to his former #Beatles bandmate #JohnLennon, following #theLattersMurder in 1980. #RingoStarr played drums, and #PaulMcCartney (along with his #Wings bandmates #LindaMcCartney and #DennyLaine).

  2. ## TIL about Ian Debian Murdock

    ### The sad story of legendary Ian Murdock

    • Founded Debian in 1993 at age 20, while a Purdue undergrad
    • Name "Debian" = Debra (his girlfriend) + Ian — she later became his wife
    • Debian became the base for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS, hundreds of distros, arguably the most influential Linux project ever
    • Worked at Sun Microsystems on Solaris
    • Became Chief Operating System officer at Docker, right at the peak of container adoption
    • Died December 28, 2015, age 42, officially ruled suicide
    • His final hours: a series of distressed tweets describing a violent encounter with San Francisco police (claimed they beat him during an arrest), followed by increasingly erratic posts, then silence
    • His Twitter account was deleted by the family shortly after; the tweets are preserved in archives

    Debian is still going strong, 30+ years later, without him but his contributions can never be forgotten.

    >Although Murdock's parents were both from Southern Indiana,[2] he was born in Konstanz, West Germany, on April 28, 1973, where his father was pursuing postdoctoral research. The family returned to the United States in 1975, and Murdock grew up in Lafayette, Indiana, beginning in 1977 when his father became a professor of entomology at Purdue University. Murdock graduated from Harrison High School in 1991,[3] and then earned his bachelor's degree in computer science from Purdue in 1996.

    >While a college student, Murdock founded the Debian project in August 1993, and wrote the Debian Manifesto in January 1994. Murdock conceived Debian as a Linux distribution that embraced open design, contributions, and support from the free software community. He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[5]

    >In January 2006, Murdock was appointed Chief Technology Officer of the Free Standards Group and elected chair of the Linux Standard Base workgroup.[6] He continued as CTO of the Linux Foundation when the group was formed from the merger of the Free Standards Group and Open Source Development Labs

    >Murdock died on December 28, 2015, in San Francisco.[12][13][14] Though initially no cause of death was released,[15][16] in July 2016 it was announced his death had been ruled a suicide.[17][18] The police confirmed that the cause of death was due to asphyxiation caused by hanging himself with a vacuum cleaner electrical cord.[19][20]

    >The last tweets from Murdock's Twitter account first announced that he would commit suicide, then said he would not. He reported having been accused of assault on a police officer after having been himself assaulted and sexually humiliated[21] by the police, then declared an intent to devote his life to opposing police abuse. His Twitter account was taken down shortly afterwards.[22][23]

    >The San Francisco police confirmed he was detained, saying he matched the description in a reported attempted break-in and that he appeared to be drunk.[24][25] The police stated that he became violent and was ultimately taken to jail on suspicion of four misdemeanor counts. They added that he did not appear to be suicidal and was medically examined prior to release. Later, police returned on reports of a possible suicide. The city medical examiner's office confirmed Murdock was found dead.[26][27]

    >The autopsy report noted extensive bruise marks found on Murdock's body, and a medical history of alcohol abuse, psychological disorders and Asperger syndrome.[28][17]

  3. "I Want to Tell You" is a song by the English rock band #theBeatles from their 1966 album #Revolver. It was written and sung by #GeorgeHarrison, the band's lead guitarist. After "#Taxman" and "#LoveYouTo", it was the third Harrison composition recorded for Revolver. Its inclusion on the LP marked the first time that he was allocated more than two songs on a Beatles album, a reflection of his continued growth as a songwriter beside #JohnLennon and #PaulMcCartney.

    A lifetime is so short
    A new one can't be bought
    But what you've got means such a lot to me
    Make love all day long
    Make love singing songs
