I remember him from the Squeak Smalltalk mailing list, probably early 2000s. He wrote a set of bindings for the pcre regular expression library, which I used quite a bit, but which was never picked up for inclusion in Squeak (because pcre "isn't portable enough").

And, with his intellectual property hat on, he was a regular source of advice to the Squeak community (none of it in an official capacity, he would hasten to add) as they worked through the process of relicensing from the original Squeak License to MIT.

I'd totally forgotten about his Squeak work. Yes, he was absolutely and infectiously enthusiastic about that.
