MORREU O AUTOR DO BLUEBEEP — Acabo de tardiamente saber que meu velho amigo ONKEL DITTMEYER morreu em fevereiro de 2011. Criador do programa BlueBeep, que permitia (ilegalmente) fazer chamadas telefônicas internacionais gratuitamente na década de 90, foi um camarada adorável. Vou apurar mais sobre a morte dele e escreverei a respeito. Por ora, deixo pra vocês o que ele escreveu a seu próprio respeito em janeiro de 2009:
