Not quite 23 years old. Hit by a train.

PearPC is a PowerPC emulator for x86 machines that allow them to run OS X, albeit very slowly

Yesterday evening at 23:00 one of my best friends, one of my best critics, one of the most valuable programmers of PearPC, the one who could help me in all situations, the one with whom I had the best time of my life, died after getting hit by a train.

That's terrible...

Sounds like the Apple Ninja Hit Squad to me.

Really awful.

We have a dangerous train crossing right down the street, and our cheap city refuses to get a warning sign for it.

That really sucks, and not just because I was looking forward to PearPC.

A sad day indeed. However, he was not the only PearPC programmer, so the project is unlikely to die with him.

Who gives a fcuk that he was a PearPC programmer?

Spliff, sorry for the loss of a friend, and hope he inspires you to better things
