A new milestone

Once upon a time, there was an Algebra professor.

e1

He was Italian.

e2

He loved sports.

e3

He had a motorbike.

e4

He loved to tour all around Europe.

e5

But most of all, he was passionate about TeX.

e6

Almost 30 years ago, he entered a room.

e7

And he saw a book.

e8

The book.

e9

And he read it.

e10

He was able to quote everything from it.

e11

He was a member of several user groups.

e12

And one group in special.

e13

He reached an impressive milestone today.

e14

A great day for TeX.

e15

Knuth would be proud.

e16

We all feel honoured.

e17

His friendship.

e18

His devotion to make the world a better place.

e19

To make TeX being known and loved.

e20

To spread kindness.

e21

Legends live on.

Congratulations, my friend.

  1. Congratulazioni, Enrico. Da uno come te c’è sempre qualcosa da imparare!

  2. E ‘veramente un modo simpatico per riconoscere i suoi meriti. Complimenti anche a te.

  3. Congratulations! I think many of us have been waiting for this moment 🙂

  4. @iloveX I also didn’t understand immediately this “carton-style” (specifically “xkcd-style”) blog post (“A new milestone”) from Paulo Cereda .

    However, after some searches & guesses, I think I “got it”:

    The user “egreg” – http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg – that is, in “real life”, the Italian Algebra Professor “Enrico Gregorio” – http://profs.scienze.univr.it/~gregorio/ – surpassed 200.000 points (that’s what “200K” – that may be misread as “zook” -stands for, in this blog post) in the “TeX – LaTeX Stack Exchange” site.

    So, many congrats and thanks to Prof. Enrico Gregorio, a.k.a. egreg ! 🙂
