[sdiy] Juergen Haible, 11-6-1964 - 11-26-2011

hi,
I stayed quiet for about 6 years, but this made me speak. Some of you 
may remember me (especially "the old farts" as we used to say back 
then), some might think I was already dead.

He was just a bit older than me, had kids in almost the same age as 
mine... I wonder who's next...

I always admired him how can he make so many new circuits and have a 
family and a day job at the same time. I'm so glad I had a chance to 
exchange a few emails, and that I bought his CDs long time ago. Didn't 
know him well, probably argued a bit about some circuits, but he was 
what we simply call "a good person". I still remember how he kindly 
refused when I tried to invite him to perform his music in one small 
electronic music festival.

A freaking story: that night (Nov.26) I had a dream of attending funeral 
of my good old friend (literally old, almost 2x Juergen's age). It was 
so frightening that it took me 2 days to take carriage to call and check.
I simply freaked out when by coincidence I saw yesterday the emails 
about JH. Checked my phone's call list - it indicated 28th, exactly 2 
days after that nightmare experience...

back to quiet mode
