Sorry for the off-topic post, but I can't resist. Anyone replying to this
thread should beware that it probably won't count for the giveaway (which is probably about to end anyway). Unless Tom is feeling realy generous. But it
is about Herb, so what the heck. If the topic leads to an ongoing non-Java discussion we can move it to Meaningless Drivel later.
For those of you wondering what the heck I'm talking about here - play "spot the famous
Java author"
here. And hope that Herb forgives me for reminding people how long his hair used to be.
So, Herb - when's the new recording coming out? I quite enjoyed the
debut album when I discovered it some years ago (though well after the initial release), and was amused to find a Famous Programming Book Author™ lurking amongst the band personnel. Also enjoyed
Fountains of Light and
Citadel. And I see that though you moved on long ago, there seem to be plans for a new album now, with your name attached again. (Though you don't appear in the recent studio pics, so I'm not sure how involved you are now.) Is that still going forward? I just saw the news about Gary Strater; most unfortunate. I hope things work out for him. And, selfishly, I hope that includes him being able to continue with the planned CD etc.
Anyway Herb, whatever the current situation may be, just wanted you to know that there are still a few of us out here who remember your previous career fondly.
Cheers...
