Personally, as a 67 year old youngster, I relished seeing some of the early stuff he posted.? In those oral histories, he comes across as a humorous talented individual who was there at a significant time, and playing a significant role in the development of computers. To most of us as mid term techies, he appears to adept at Linear B, but to late termers and the yet to be born, he will seem fluent in Linear A... May he rest in peace.
