Author of sudo Lives Locally

Todd Miller — one of the people responsible for writing and maintaining sudo — lives in Millersville, Maryland. Anyone want to pitch in to buy him some beer?
I use sudo every day. Sometimes a dozen times, sometimes a hundred; I don’t even know exactly. I don’t really know what I’d do without it. His tip jar suggests sending a virtual beer, yet I live within twenty minutes of him. Hell, the town is next to my childhood home.
My coworkers and I are pitching in a few bucks here and there. I think we ought to parse our system logs, determine how many times sudo was used in a week, and purchase the man an ounce of beer for each instance. I think it’d be a nice gesture, especially if he’s a beer man.
Anyone else want to pitch in?
