   Well this is really kind. Yes, I'm pretty broke and have three young children who will be semi orphans. Cue violins. Happy to receive on PayPal at ph@imatix.com. I will give my family the keys to that so they can put it aside for ma we

    Yes, I'll be home for a while at least until I need oxygen and morphine again.

    Prognosis is so shitty my spell checker can't deal with it. Chances are I've less than a month. I'll slowly choke to death. Happily Belgium has euthanasia and I've already told my doctors to plan for that.

    Groningen is a fun place and Pygrunn a unique and good event. I loved being part of it.

    If you know my work, like the Guide, you know me. I've never been so pampered with an abundance of talent and will as in the zeromq community. I'm really happy to hear that this project brought you out of a bad place. I think it d

    Working on closed source and building up a business was an utter waste of time. I spent a lot of time with my kids the last years and should have done that before. Other than that, and about a thousand fuck ups that seem inevitable on the r

    Now you made me all weepy. I'm fighting off a resistant infection that has decided to invade my lungs as well. My definition of fun is to get the doctor to turn up the oxygen one more notch. "5 litres per hour man? Are you crazy?

    I'm lucky enough to have done all that since my first round, five years ago. So now it's wrapping things up and saying goodbye.

    Excellent question! (can you tell I'm bored in a hospital)? Well, it all started when I was about three, and I discovered ants. Fire ants, to be specific. Biting me all over cause I'd chosen to hide right on top of their nest. The

    ZeroMQ is a community of projects that has grown and evolved significantly in the last years. It was never threatened by Nanomsg, which we saw as an interesting experiment, and potentially an engine for a pure C stack. We have pure Java, C#

    It negates the theory that harassment whistle blowers are unemployable. In that respect, it does not continue this particular discussion, it ends it.

    I didn't see the full study. Thanks for pointing me to it. Indeed the figures are higher for women than for men. Let me edit my comment to reflect that.
