Sadly, I have to pass along the news that my webmaster, Andy Greig, died on November 21st. Andy commented on this blog as The Webmaster, and many readers will remember him. He’d been ill with cancer for almost two years. He leaves his wife Sara and four children.
He was a terrific guy, funny, lively, and a pleasure to work with. My enduring image is of Andy pulling up on a motorcycle, wearing full leathers, with his Mac in a backpack, ready to talk computers, graphic design, and books. He’ll be dearly missed.
Sara has posted a message on Andy’s blog, Grumpy Old Git. And I’m touched that another reader of this blog, who never met Andy in person, has already left a lovely message of condolence on his site. Thanks for that.

This is very sad indeed, Meg.
I’m beginning to get the feeling that cancer is a lot more common than I ever thought it was. The internet and blogging has increased the number of my acquaintances exponentially and the number of people within this group who’ve been touched by this scourge, either directly or indirectly, is staggering.
I’m sorry to hear this, Meg.
Very sad news indeed.
I am so sorry. Cancer sucks.
Thanks for this tribute to my buddy, Andy.
