R.I.P. Commander Svengali
It would seem that Olli Krienke (aka Svengali) has passed away. Very sad news! His work on BGS, CCL, and Library, greatly enriched Oolite.
Having no malt whiskey in the house, I'll raise a glass of sour apple schnapps - cheers, Olli!

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

This is truly very sad news. I had the chance to get to know Svengali a bit through correspondece during the time he was developing his OXPs for Oolite. He was a restless spirit and a wonderful human being. He will be missed. R.I.P. Olli.

Re: R.I.P. Commander Svengali
This is very sad news, Svengali's OXP work was on another level. My deepest condolences to Olli's family and friends.

Raise a glass, shed a tear, and bow respectfully towards his homeland with a heavy heart. He and his work will be sorely missed.

Re: R.I.P. Commander Svengali
Svengali (by the known name around) was one that definitely defined the "on this side of Riedquat" friendliness of this forum. The great contribution to the good looks of nowadays Oolite, and a helpful presence in the talks for it, will always be missed by the remaining grunts!

Very sorry to hear this...
Buoy Repair has been a showcase oxp for quite some time now and has aged extremely well; if at all.
Of course oxps aren't really that important but bringing a smile to others is.
Mission accomplished commander.

While I still didn't get any conformation, I do agree, if it's our Olli, RIP, you will be missed;
