He was certainly a lively and unique character in person and on the
various lists / channels he frequented. RIP.

It's always such a shock when an online correspondence dies, you can
never tell someone's health on the other side of an irc chat unless
they want to broadcast it, so every loss seems so sudden, and so
untimely. At least now he's in a world without XML :)

This comes as a shock to me. Uriel was a great guy; we worked together
on a few things, his deep understanding of very complex mechanisms
always amazed me.

Quite sad to hear this although I only knew him from his posts. What
happens to his site cat-v.org now?

I guess he was a really inspiring person for many programmers out there - even if many of these people haven't been in direct contact with him.
Got to meet him once in IRC many years ago, never forgot him.
Rest in peace.

What sl said is true.

Not sure that it matters, but as volatile as your interactions may
have been over the years, he really looked up to you.

There wasn't anything that any of us could have done.
