Shucks, really. I'm the ultimate outsider, and I've heard Itojun's
name and nym since the dawn of the 'net, it seems, and have exchanged
emails with him on certain subjects, I believe back in the days
when the pmax port was a current subject. The man was a seemingly
inexhaustible well of energy coupled with good cheer. A hacker's
hacker.
May he rest in peace. His death is a loss to those who never had
the privilege to know him.

(A quote from his webpage). That would be www.itojun.org, for the
totally bereft of clue.
