Life, the Universe and Everything. I can't get my head round Douglas being dead.
Douglas, Robbie Stamp and I founded h2g2 so I got to know Douglas pretty well. It would be easy on days like this to pretend that we were much more than work colleagues. For Robbie that was true, but that for me it wasn't the case.
What is true is how much I learned from him. My mind stops concentrating of that kind of reminiscence, about a film or a play or a book after a minute or so and I need text to help it concentrate.
But today I've forced myself to leave the office and walk and think.
This is not the place, for me, to pen these thoughts. I'm too dyslexic to write in public. Suffice to say they'll be locked in a special part of my mind where I'll know where to find them.
But what I can say, very publicly is: Thank you Douglas for memories and advice that will last forever.
A newbees hug

I surfed a lot in the web in the last hours and it`s totally overwhelming that every corner is crowded with people who can`t believe what happened to our Mr. Adams. Seeing that the whole community weeps, helps to survive the grief.
DON`T PANIC
We`re all with you
