And with deep regrets.I was looking forward to meeting John at the last Valve meeting, which I had heard rumor that he would attend. Alas, his health was too frail to allow him to travel to the Pacific Northwest. I am sorry that I never did meet him. I would have liked to tell him how much I enjoyed his work.
I carry his article on the Afterglow mods, and another on current source benefits, with me in my briefcase. Like Doc wrote, I read, re-read, struggle, light comes on, goes off again. I lack the physics and math to truly understand Buddha's designs, but at an intuitive level, there is an underlying beauty, layers upon layers of it.
It must be a reflection of the author.
Doc, Smoothplate, and others: I am deeply sorry for the loss of your friend and mentor.
