RIP dennilfloss

[Assimilator1]

I'm pretty sure he did crunch that but I was thinking about more recently crunched projects, I thought I noticed his name in a BOINC project in recent months. Although maybe it was a static account.....

I decided to google boinc & dennilfloss, I found this thread posted by him in the GPUgrid forum (only end of April)....... err that's assuming it's not 1 of us as a tribute name! Hmm, maybe I'll look next week.

I used www.babelfish.com to figure out some of the translations. ***

That one is biodoc

Hmmm ... I hadn't realized that forum post names would change also!

Lol, some over there may be glad to see me go.

Now that I think more about this, I am going to change back to my own handle ... I might have posted something rude somewhere that I would not want someone that searches for "dennilfloss" to think it was he that posted!

Yea same here, in the MW@H fundraising thread I needed to explain to a MW scientist/developer (Sidd) that I wasn't dennis & why I had changed my name, he was fine about it & sent his condolences.
I decided not to change my name back but I have put my original name in my signature, I wanted to put an explanation in there too but I don't have room.

RIP old friend.

Sad to hear. Not sure how I missed this thread.

The last two links in my previous post will assist you if you wish to leave a message of condolence to his family; I and a couple others from Anandtech and DSL Reports have already done such.

Just logged in after about 15 months away and I found this thread.
Dennis gave me my first invitation to Distributed Computing well over 10 years ago.
It was an adventure Ill never forget in D2OL. Dennis was just a year younger than me.
Very sad to find this out, and I salute you old friend and hope you found the Lord in your lifetime.

God bless Dennis
John

 

[Wellcky]

so sad, RIP dude.

 

[palad]

I haven't been around in a long time, but I remember Denis as always being kind and welcoming. Rest in peace, old friend.

 

[Remobz]

I always thought he was creepy and eccentric

RIP all the same.

RIP. I have long since retired from DC, but Dennilfloss got me started back in 1999 with SETI, and I had a fun couple of years. Life is short...

 

[Assimilator1]

A nice CPU like that & you're not crunching!



On a serious note though, good to see old friends/comrades post & pay respects.
Though saying creepy isn't!

 

[Wolfie]

wow, I haven't been on here in a long time. But this is sad news!

 

[Wolfsraider]

Rest in peace old friend , you will be sorely missed.
