I became active on XS by the time you joined and we had some great fun, mainly in the distributed computing teams. I can't believe that was almost 10 years ago. Time flies by. You have been a person I always looked up to, even though I didn't agree with everything you said. That was a mutual thing, I guess. I am not an ideologist however as you once stated, I just happen to believe in the good in people, a trait you also possessed. I can only speak for myself, but you put a smile to my face more often than I can count and I surely wasn't the only one. Life is way too short, no matter how you look at it. I will try to put smiles on people's faces, to pass on your legacy for it to live on forever. I will miss you, old friend..
