I wonder if Kai Krause lurks here at HN. I'd love to know how he's doing. Apparently he's still living in his castle, which he bought around 1999 [0].

I found the article [1] from July 2002, "Lord of the Castle Kai Krause presents Byteburg II". > So that 's Kai Krause's long-cherished plan: Now the software guru has finally opened a center for founders and developers from the IT and software industry in Hemmersbach Castle near Cologne -- the Byteburg II I really wonder what he's doing to these days.
