An amazingly detailed tribute, you'd have to think this was taken from a journal, in which case it's impressive to keep such a record of their life, or maybe Stephen just has a fantastic memory.Even through that detail you can really feel how much he loved and admired her.
> Somehow in the shock of what has happened it feels as if I just met Elise, and now she is gone.
A reminder that time's cruelty is making the wonderful feel shorter than the painful.
> My only solace in this tragedy is that the end came instantly, after a day filled with nothing but joy.
Hopefully we're all lucky enough to be allowed to rest without suffering while surrounded by loved ones.

A read a story of a guy who bumped into him at conference and had some sort of conversation. The following week he received a follow from Wolfram's office with his assigned conversation number. The number was to be used for all follow-ups.by detourdog

I remember reading about a personal CRM project called Monica years ago. Does anyone here still use it? Is there an actively maintained alternative?by MengerSponge

I still have an instance of it running and get email reminders about birthdays, but no, I don't think it has been actively developed for years.by rsolva
