Rest in Peace Jerry Pournelle

Sci-Fi author, Byte magazine product review columnist, (Chaos Manner), but also many early pertinent observations about cybersecurity. He will be remembered as a good guy, knew how to work a party. He gets credit for one of the best tall tales, (young guy on a farm for the summer, playing with explosives, pretty much emptied the pond, that last being the part that suspended belief), I ever heard.

My copy of Footfall is in Hawaii, guess it is time for a re-read. Best obit I have seen is here.
