    You’re not sucker. Just a great guy.

    I found a great little web thing in like '01: you put it in your mp3 directory and it launches a playlist when you hit it with your browser. It was tiny, elegant, reliable and clean. I paid the guy. Maybe I was the only one.

    I paid him again when I used it somewhere else.

    I lost it in a machine collapse, and my mp3s were merely generated data and not valuable. So I needed it again. I paid the guy again. He writes back and says “you’re like half my total income on this. It’s good. Never pay again, but if you come to the city we should grab a beer.”.

    He was a great guy. Never got to NYC after that though, just bad luck and an airplane crash, but I looked forward to it.
