- ackreq 1y agoWow, never heard of this one before. Thanks for sharing!
- dcminter 1y agoIt's a treasure. I feel for those expressing their loss - and at the same time am slightly in awe that IANA used to be "just some guy" - this plus the April Fool tradition gives the RFC series a very approachable human feeling.
- jibal 1y agoI knew and worked with both Vint and Jon at UCLA ... reading that (again) brings tears to my eyes. P.S. Another RFC memorializing Jon: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2441 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2441
- hinkley 1y agoVint is now 82 and I wonder when we’ll have a black bar for him. The most recent picture of him on the Wikipedia article was at 74 and he still looked fairly spry.
