Failbox – Knuth/Eco Edition by Garrick van Buren Comments Off on Failbox – Knuth/Eco Edition “Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration.” – Don Knuth “I don’t even have an E-mail address. I have reached an age where my main purpose is not to receive messages.” – Umberto Eco
