He left quite a long time before the current problem.

You can find the whole sad story here;

We can only hope that sometime in the future he will once again return, decending messiah-like from the heavens :cry:
"I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

It's sad to know. I missed totally the story until yesterday. I valued Rassilon's work over all, because of the beauty of his nebulae. I consider his Rosetta Nebula the most stunning addon to celestia. BTW, perhaps one of you could remind Don of his words when Rassilon leaved. I don't feel authorised to do that, but I think it's precisely the situation now. He must get courage again and forget past misunderstandings.

maybe someone could make a sticky addressed to him, because i dont think anyone really know's his address. I tried sending one to the address in his old screen name, but i got it back.

Every Friday at 00:00:00 UTC Ras' is usually talking to some of his Forum-friends. The frequency he uses is

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751 GHz.

So here we go on another one: who knows the 1024'th digit of Pi (with 3 being the first one)?;-)

I don't think so. The 1021th is 2 if you round it it's 3.

Mike,

I do believe it's supposed to be a "joke." Something like "If your tardis can make it to Galifrey, you'll be able to see him."

His work on the Rosetta Nebula was the most beautiful thing i had ever laid eyes on...maybe im a lil partial to it cuz it had something to do with me...

and yes...perhaps he will come down from the heavens again....

I hope so too. I'm supprised to see you here LadyHawke, I thought you would have left along with Rass, although I am glad you didn't. Maybe (and hopefully) this is a sign of things to come...

Sorry for my bad jokes, I know they have been widely critized already;-) I'll try to improve on these matters....

In fact, only the /frequency/ was a joke...

This has always been a peaceful place i like to visit...its nice u remembered me BillyBob...

Take it as a sign if u like...take it as whatever u like....if u think about it, Rass really never left...his spirit has touched all of you....his spirit lives in the beauty he has created here.....I cant say what the future will bring...only what today holds....
