Re: Remembering a 'Good Guy'..
Sad news indeed, but thanks for the notice.
Oh yes, I know a bit about the Cinelerra story, the early days anyway. It seems that Bill and Phyllis essentially rescued the project from oblivion.

Yes, it's terrible that it's from a bicycle accident. I mean, we're all going to die, but to die sooner from an accident, and a bicycle accident at that, is terrible.

RIP! I'm sure his contributions will live on in the works of many!

Re: Remembering a 'Good Guy'..
Thanks GMaq, I didn't realise this until your kind note. It is really sad.
I remember that video project. I was astonished at how generous and well-administered it seemed to be.
I'm a true believer that behind every successful generous digital project are interesting and kind people.
Really sorry for the losses. Lives can NOT be replaced.
I retired from driving a car back in 2013. I've been a pedestrian ever since.
Reckless driving is an extremely stressful thing for me, too.
I was almost hit by cars several times over the past several years.
A lot of the new young drivers don't seem to comprehend how hostile and lethal their driving style is.
In some cities, it's really bad. I used to get into arguments with my own family because some of my
family have been reckless drivers and I really DONT like that. I try to get them to drive safely, to remember
the possibilities, to have respect. Some people are really stubborn for the worst however.
These days, I'm not with my family anymore.
But I will say this: I sent a hallmark gift card to the OSdisc.com Linux vender (who retired the project during recent years) instead of too my family for the holidays. When I was homeless (and I still am), my family did NOT help me. But some of the Linux dev community has always been generous with both attention and creation and functionality.
We love you guys. You are heroic problem solvers. You too, GMaq. We love ya.
Much respect to you and the others. So sad about this loss of another innovator.
And people say I should switch to 64-bit only. Nope. I have sentimental attachment to many nice 32-bit programs of the past.
