Re: Never knew Gruber had a role in Joyent

i got involved with Textdrive because of Gruber and Dan Benjamin . Gruber also knew about text pattern early on

Yup, I think Gruber got involved in that take over/merge/… out of interest for Textpattern (and the further development of it). I seem to recall he quite liked it, Daringfireball has some quite positive posts about it.

I had completely forgotten about the Joyeur blog they used to do.

I’m impressed you’re able to recall these things, MKP. You’d be a great librari– OH NOW I GET IT.

We don’t really have all the answers but we are pretty good at figuring out where to look. :)

Glad you pointed that out. It’s also info I didn’t know. Saved me some embarrassment, perhaps. ;)

I’ve never really followed/read Gruber. I just kind of know him as the ultimate Apple fanboy and creator of Markdown, but maybe that’s not fair.

Lou’s awesome. He and I worked together on that STC stuff in his resume there. He’s a total no B.S. guy, and smart as hell.
