Things you never thought you'd hear at AGN.
I miss gleen. :(
---
It hasn't really been the same here the forums without him... Wish he was still here with us.
I too noticed a decline when he passed. 😞
He also did a nice chunk for SE.
:s And all I remember was the shenanigans.
I missed everything else.
Still, sucks that he's gone. 😞
I rarely miss people, because it's hard to miss a person if they're gone to not remind you that they're gone, (WTF even is that?!) but Glenn/gleen definitely had that "presence" that made you aware that he was lurking around every corner for your benefit.
I knew him at first as some representative entity of the board, then as a threat, and finally I was coming to understand him as an actual human being (instead of some symbol of the Internet). And then he was gone.
Life is filled with these sorts of situations: the positive impression, the negative impression, and beneath all that the real identity. I wonder if we could have become friends. He did seem excited when I started raving about Java.
Still, missing someone isn't a bad thing. It shows that they made an impression. It shows you noticed when they left.
