What a blast from the past! Anthony was the head sysadmin during my undergrad (circa. the last update of this page) and this page was pretty famous. I was part of a research group and built a bit of a rapport with Anthony since I was bugging him to install&#x2F;configure random things like Perl::FastCGI.<p>On the odd chance you&#x27;re reading this, Anthony, I&#x27;ll never forget you granting my request of the now-defunct $firstname@cit.griffith email address when I joined &quot;staff&quot; as part of the research group. I doubt you would remember that, but I thought it was cool as fuck so thanks once more.

&gt; What I really am is a hacker (original meaning, not the cracker meaning of the media) and as such, live on COKE and often work into the wee hours of the mornings (or at least I used to). A sign which once appeared on my door says &quot;Real Programmers do their best work between 1 and 5 am&quot;, about which I totally agree. Though my boss, and wife don&#x27;t!<p>That definitely resonates with me.<p>I know why web pages have to be why the way they are today but I really miss fast-loading and information-dense pages like this these days.

Countless imagemagick users are probably in debt to Anthony thanks to his imagemagick documentation &amp; samples.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imagemagick.org&#x2F;Usage&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imagemagick.org&#x2F;Usage&#x2F;</a>
