Hi all,

Just a quick name-dropping reminiscence here…  =)

In January 2009, I presented one of my mathematical papers at a conference in 
San Francisco. Much to my surprise, at one of the other sessions I attended (on 
the mathematics origami), Mr Knuth sat next to me. We struck up a small 
conversation, prompted by me telling him that I referenced his paper in the one 
I had just presented. Ultimately, I told him thanks — on behalf of everyone — 
for TeX.

He seems like a wonderful man.

Cheers,
Kieren.
