Little ado about some

It's been a while since I updated with much, and I've several things I thought would merit mention. Here we go.

• Tim Maroney passed away today. In looking things over, I came across his web page. He and I were never close, and we really only intersected in 1988, when I was lurking in soc.women.

Reading over his homepage, he seems a very different person now than then -- which should hardly be a surprise. I bid him hail and farewell.
