Hi there, <br>
<br>
I've got some very sad news about Protag that many of you will know
from Hacktionlab and especially from hosting us at the 1 in 12 in
Bradford.<br>
<br>
He passed away yesterday from a really fast acting cancer. <br>
<br>
He spend his last days in a hospice in Bradford surrounded by family
and friends. There are a lot of very sad people right now. I saw him
about a week ago after getting the email from him below. He still
had his sharp sense of humour as you will see. <br>
<br>
I don't really know what else to say, but wanted to let you all
know. <br>
Get in touch with me if you want to know when the wake is and I'll
pass it on when I find out from Jim Dog. <br>
<br>
yours mick,<br>

other complicating factors, almost certainly whatever plan is
