Hi,

on a german news side I've found an article about John Carmack:
IT Legenden heute: Doom Programmierer baut Raumschiffe (http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,531987,00.html) @ spiegel.de (http://www.spiegel.de/)
(Article in german - title translated: "IT legends today: Doom programer builds spaceships"")

It seems that this newsmag has an article series about information technology legends.

I see.

Did there happen to be an article about Ken Silverman as well? I'm wondering what he has been up to recently.

if i'd ever meet him in person, i'd have two questions for him: "why does every single doom 3 engine game have periodic hitches and why did it never get fixed?"

As a humble developer, I could suggest the standard answer "we failed to reproduce it".
Only problem is that it won't work for id.
