 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Sad indeed. CaptainBoing wrote a lot of good code, including the heart of fruitoftheshed. Always cogent. Inventor (or at least articulator) of my standard coding practice with the mites--code in Notepad++, save, ctrl-a, ctrl-c, alt-tab to teraterm, F10, ctrl=v, <Enter>, ctrl-z when done, then save, edit, or run. As he said, it takes longer to write it out than to do it. Thanks for the notification. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

A big loss, all that insight and good humour. Much sympathy to his family. May his flight have clean air and good rum . |

Oh heck...loved the guy  I kinda suspected something and did a search to see when he was last active. Didn't have the nerve to ask. |

Funny, I always used to read his name as Captain Boeing. Now there's only us passengers left to fly VH-TBS. - |

A sad loss. We had some conflicts early on but I always respected him ... even if he didn't necessarily believe me. Tom MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |
