Hmm... Maybe a simple form could be useful. Just fill in the blanks. I'm lazy with typing in code for web publishing. Even though that's not a good excuse...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 5:56 AM, Andrew Armstrong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew@aarmstrong.org">andrew@aarmstrong.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Wow, really? I saw him at GameCity, and was about the only person
discussing their relationship with Elite which was actually interesting
(even Mr. Braben was pretty boring ;) but they did only have a few
minutes each). I couldn't make his book reading but it'd be interesting
to check his book out.<br>
<br>
If anyone is interested in writing a memorial piece, or know someone
who would be good to ask to do so, please give me or Devin a shout
(I'll try and investigate myself, I need to get a tool to organise
this, there's a lot of unfinished ones and ones I meant to catch up
on). I'll put up a brief page this weekend for him.<br>
