Chema Celorio, goodbye

There was a bunch of things I was going to post about here this evening. However, I read about Chema's passing over at Miguel's blog and now I just feel ill.

I never met Chema in person. But I had frequent email contact with him during some periods and chatted on IRC from time to time. This morning, before I knew anything had happened, I spent an hour or so reading old emails of his from the early days of the gnome-love list. He could really inspire an audience.
