It's been many a moon since we saw Rick on here...

Neat. Small world.

Yeah, we corresponded for a time after his self-eviction from here..
Brilliant mind, I thought.. if somewhat scant on std. social mores and like that. But always I'd prefer that omission to std. mindless conformity, right? Wonder what his take on the dis-US meltdown might be.. ;^> PS: perspicuous delving! finding him there (..just How!?) and all that. (Maybe he gave you the link, in person.) Carrion It's in microinstructions now. Soon may be in the North Sea herring! Hyvää päivänjatkoa.. |

His wife, Deirdre, tweeted the /. link.
I'd started following her on Twitter at the beginning of WC75 as one among several desparate attempts to get hold of him. (Still do, because even though she doesn't tweet a lot of her own original material, she re-tweets lots of interesting stuff.) EDIT: This was before the election, so we didn't discuss the current mess you're in -- back in August, we still blithely assumed Hillary was going to win. His personal (though not very personal) homepage is at http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/, but a quick browse just now didn't show any content about recent politics. -- Christian R.
