[lugm.org] RIP Shailen Surat

[selven]

:( i was still in shock since yesterday.

He was among the rare persons that has influenced my life. I remember the
days when i still had dialup and downloading sources were tiring for me,
specially when it was kde sources, shailen used to download em freely for me
then, since he then had tuxcafe, my teen days were mostly spent escaped from
college, and hanging out in tuxcafe, i learnt to play quake from shailen, i
still remember the memorable pwnage i got from him, 117 against  -7. He had
a hell of a personality, a lot of time he used to buy food for all of us at
tuxcafe, it was probably from his cyber cafe that i first encounterred ajay
and logan.

He showed me that i can do things my own way, anyway i wish it with the
opensource.

All that said, he was always cool, and always worthy of being called a hero!

RIP shailen :(
RIP acid420 :(
