#4I'm sorry to hear this, Pieter. I don't have a question, but would just like to wish you well - as much as possible under the circumstances.

#5I've thought a while ago about what would I do in a similar situation, besides you know - the common idea of spending more time with the loved ones, and I would probably write a memoir, maybe a book even, and leave it to descendants or to whomever will ever hear my name. I like to think that the mark people like you left on human development would warrant future interest.
Sorry to hear about the sad news. It's the kind that usually leaves one speechless.

Excellent question! (can you tell I'm bored in a hospital)?
Well, it all started when I was about three, and I discovered ants. Fire ants, to be specific. Biting me all over cause I'd chosen to hide right on top of their nest. There's a lesson there.

I'm lucky enough to have done all that since my first round, five years ago. So now it's wrapping things up and saying goodbye.

#9Thank you, Pieter, for making your ideas public. I learned many valuable lessons from your designs, all the way back to Libero and the SFL. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Darn, but you seem to be quite a stoic.
Anyway, I want to thank you for the Imatix webserver (blast of the past), Libero and the first few chapters of Scalable-C and all the other snippets of knowledge and wisdom which I'm happy to carry around on my head. Good stuff.
