with no introduction, thedaniel messaged me with:
“check it out: a french software developer, inspired by Snow Crash, starts work on a decentralized, peer-to-peer, infinitely scalable online environment. Called “Solipsis”, it’s now a project of France Telecom’s fairly large R&D dept. I know it’s not the sort of thing you message someone about out of the blue, but hey, you seem like you’d dig it. ttyl!”

Three weeks later, we signed a lease together. Cheers, dude, I miss ya.
