In memoriam

In the memory of a good friend which died in a stupid car accident. God rest him in peace!

Between dew and hoar

This is it. The memory of the dewy days. Unfortunately, it comes a time when, instead of the dew of the Summer mornings, we will see the grey hoar of the Autumn. And these days are close. Very close.

DECEBALUS REX - DRAGAN FECIT

I did not meet Iosif Constantin Drăgan but, by his actions, as well as his books that promote the Romanian national pride and the idea that the Dacians, our ancestors, were a hardworking and brave nation, he gained forever my respect.

Today, August 21th, 2008, Iosif Constantin Drăgan died at Palma de Mallorca, Italy. The funeral will take place on August 25th, in his native city, Lugoj, Romania

Rest in peace!

David Filo is the somewhat media-shy co-founder of Yahoo! with Jerry Yang.

A native of Moss Bluff, Louisiana, he earned his BS in Computer Engineering from Tulane University and an MS from Stanford University.

Until the company recently decided to switch to PHP, his Filo Server program, written in C, would provide Filo Server Pages that brokered requests from the Yahoo home page.

As a philanthropist, in 2005 he donated $30 million to his alma mater, Tulane University.
