And here's to the fond yet irritating memory of the late great inspirational asshole, Eric Naggum. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-de/ErikNaggum http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-de/ErikNaggum "But there is still one thing that America has taught the world. You have taught us all that giving second chances is not just generosity, but the wisdom that even the best of us sometimes make stupid mistakes that it would be grossly unfair to believe were one's true nature." -Eric Naggum "I learned a lot from talking to Erik on matters technical and non-technical. But one thing I learned, not from what he said, but from the meta-discussion which was always there about whether to tolerate him, is that I think we as people are not all the same. We make rules of manners and good ways to be that are for typical people. But the really exceptional people among us are not typical. Often the people who achieve things in fact do so because of some idiosyncracy of them, some failing they have turned to a strength." -Kent Pitmann "The purpose of human existence is to learn and to understand as much as we can of what came before us, so we can further the sum total of human knowledge in our life." —Erik Naggum http://open.salon.com/blog/kent_pitman/2009/06/24/erik_naggum_rip http://open.salon.com/blog/kent_pitman/2009/06/24/erik_naggu...
