What is the ornate building I'm looking at (via google maps) at North

It is so rare that a newsgroup exhibits any sort of community that I
must comment.
Blinky.
The Shark.
Tweaking us all with every post. And elucidating us all in the process.
How many of you have Googled "shark" or "blinky" or "what does a shark eat"?
If I wanted to be remembered here I could only ask for this: "Don't Blink."
On my cruise there were several times I spied fins out on the ocean.
I laughed. ("Whales? Porpoises? Dolphins?") NO! Must be Sharks!!!
I looked forward to coming back and writing to Blinky about it and
wondering how funny it was that I saw fins and thought of him.

I haven't seen fLameDogg post in ages. I sent DC an e-mail after the
news broke, but I can't be sure he got it. Tiger came back to n.s.r
for a little while last year but then left again. The mathematician at
McGill is R.A.G. Seely -- his web page at the university is still up,
so I guess he's still there (and still a nice guy). Max Quordlepleen
shows up occasionally under another posting name (which I can't
recall) -- we should remember to tell him if we see him.
I observed a few minutes of silence by myself yesterday while the
memorial gathering was going on. Every so often, I have to visit
Michigan, and if I can schedule some time to get to Battle Creek, I'll
swing by and say hi to The Shark.
Aingon, thanks very much for all your posts keeping us informed.

I saw him post recently in the last couple of months and never really
noticed until I saw some posts about him a week or two later. Being
usenet, I questioned if it might be some clown posting someone died
(you know, they go on vacation for too long, all sorts of rumors happen
and people like to cause drama sometimes), but in this case it was
indeed true.
> Is it a rude question to ask how it happened?
I don't recall what someone said or know much about it. I guess he was
ill and become weak and couldn't hold down food or water and then the
notice about his death was posted by some people that knew him in
person.

I have yet to receive the official notification re the date or official
cause of death (I hope it says more than "natural"). I last talked to

So was his vomiting a red herring?
Started with some kind of flu-like thing, and then progressed into
something resembling pnuemonia. Again, this is from things he said,
there has been no official pronouncement yet.

I thought people only died (in the modern world) of pneumonia if they
were already ill with something else?
Though in all the times i hastily jumped out of the pool when blinky
swam up:) i never recall him saying anything about any previous or
chronic conditions.
Even his complaints about stress that took him to the Joshua tree park
to de-stress & where he took some lovely photos never seemed anything
more than the usual, run of the mill, ordinary, everyday, modern world
stress.
Though we only swam in the same pool, and i really barely knew him, he
was nice enough to be missed.

I was reviewing some of the email he sent while he was sick, and
something jumped out that I hadn't noticed before. He mentioned that he
was having trouble holding onto a new bar of soap with his right hand.
I'm wondering if perhaps he didn't have all kinds of things happening to
him at once.

Nope - other than a couple of chronic skin issues he was basically
healthy, at least to my knowledge, and I'm the one he would have told
first. He certainly didn't tell me he was as sick as he obviously was.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.
In my experience, the problem could be either a pinched nerve or (at
the very least "a hint of") the onset of arthritis. I don't know what
else it could be.
There has to be something else (heart?), but I'm not a health care
professional.
Not necessarily. People still die of the flu and its aftermath. That's
why we try to vaccinate against it. The second sickest I've ever been
was with influenza. I'm a strong, healthy, middle-aged adult and I was
so sick, with high fever and respiratory symptoms and terrible body
pain, that I was more than a little scared. And it took me a long time
to get well.
(The absolute sickest I've ever been was with dengue fever that I got
from a mosquito bite down in Mexico and I was more than a little scared,
I thought I was going to die.)

Even "just" the flu can crash your system, creating a cascade of all
sorts of symptoms and failures.

He probably didn't know how sick he was. In modern times we've
forgotten how deadly the flu can be. The influenza epidemic of 1918
killed over 50 million people; young, old, rural, urban, rich or poor.
Medical advances give flu victims a better shot at recovering but it
still comes down to supporting the patient while their own immune system
fights off the virus.
The flu shots don't offer 100% protection, especially not when they
guess wrong about the season's dominant strain. But even if you do
catch the flu the shot's effects can lessen the severity of your
symptoms. I work as a substitute teacher. My exposure is massive, and
if I get sick, the numbers exposed to me are massive. And then they
expose their families ... So I get the damned shots.
And that's my recommendation to everybody who doesn't have a medical
reason not to... Get the damned shots.
These are sad times for 24hoursupport.helpdesk.

If you don't think any of their other projects deserve equal priority,
select only Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together as your preferred
project, but then I'd suggest that you also allow them to send you
workunits from other projects when they don't have any available
from that project, simply to make more room on their hard drives
for more workunits from that project.
However, I haven't seen very much activity from that project since
a hurricane hit Texas near one of the worksites for that project,
so don't be surprised if you end up contributing computer time
mainly to their other projects.
