So I've been googling around and I think I've got most of the pieces of this puzzle figured out (_why was a great, eccentric developer, he disappeared and commited info-suicide).
But what I don't get is why the author of this article waited a year ('So I marked my calendar for the 18th, and waited. That was yesterday.') --- What indication did he have to mark his calendar for the 18th (was this an anniversary?)
I'm so very confused about this, but I'm intrigued.
- Jeremysr 14y agoJan. 2013 was _why's first reappearance. He had actually updated his website with the first couple entries in the print queue in December, but no one noticed until January. After people noticed ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5015087 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5015087 ), _why started updating it with more pages in the print queue, one of which said the print queue was going down until April 18, and would then be up during the hours of 4 to 12. Which sounded like _why was going to do something big that day.
