For those following his posts over at his site, you know he's been struggling with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (a part of a group of typing injuries known as RSI - Repetitive Strain Injuries), a serious (and growing) problem which affects many computer users. His problem has been getting worst and worst and now the time has come for him to put aside everything computer related.
He had this to say:
It is now 3:30AM. I have been awake for over an hour now, and even after having been off the computer for a number of hours now, I am still in pain. I feel like I'd be better off ripping out my right index finger. I can't do this anymore(...)It's with sadness that we see him leave, but I'm sure we all wish him the best. He is a very nice person, whom I had the pleasure to interview some time ago. All of the best to you Warren. Untill next time...
Many times since I first started having major problems with carpal tunnel syndrome have I prayed that this day would not come, but it has and it breaks my heart. I must not only leave the community which I love, but computers in general, for the most part, at least until I have healed to the point where I can start over.
