<div dir="ltr">Latif is a continuing source of inspiration for me. It has been almost 2 years (I think) since an epic IRC exchange removed the 4096 limitation with a Latif eureka moment and jump regions became a thing of the past. I know there are other times Latif has risen to the challenge but I will leave those for others.<div><br></div><div>Z</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 5 March 2016 at 20:29, Morgaine <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:morgaine.dinova@googlemail.com" target="_blank">morgaine.dinova@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Latif was a founding light in open virtual worlds, a

created the foundations of worlds, quite literally.<br><br></div>I will
never forget Latif. His work and his person contributed to my own
