The end of April and early May are busy times for my marching band Adest Musica. The period includes important days like King’s Day and Liberation Day filled with festivities.
Right before Liberation Day is a much more sober Remembrance of the Dead.
To prepare for that, I usually try to put some time aside to do some reflection on the people I’ve lost over the years.
This year, I took a deep breath and read back through the, now 1 year old, [WayBack] I’m writer and free software author Pieter Hintjens and I’m dying of cancer, ask me anything! : IAmA.
It’s till impressive and well worth reading, both because of the person (Pieter Hintjens), his life and what he went through until his planned death.
Even though Pieter and I only know each other electronically for a short time, I’m still proud of what I learned from him.
