Kilobitez was another old friend that I talked on AIM with back in March 2013 I believe. Kilo was an amazing programmer in visual basic. I recently was looking at his websites through archive.org and the stuff he designed back then could compete in 2014. He also helped several people including myself with visual basic, HTML and more.
He also told me that he is still programming, that’s the last I heard from him.
Kilobitez News Section:
Monk-E-God, one of the most prominent figures from the AOL add-on programming scene of the late 90′s, has died.
Initially someone emailed me about “Tom” dying and I had no idea who they were talking about. I’m really bad with names so I always feel a little bad when someone from that era emails me. However, I remembered the “moorpark” location they mentioned and a discussion about it at knk4life.com – and that’s when it hit me that they were talking about Monk-E-God. I remember talking with him at what I think was knk’s old forums (and possibly later GPX’s forums, though I can’t remember if he was a member of that forum) and checking out his work at knk’s website.
I wasn’t really close to the guy, but I remember him as being one of the best programmers from those days. He was one of those people who’s reputation preceded them, it’s really sad to hear he’s gone. Thinking about that era brings back a lot of memories. If it wasn’t for that community and those days on AOL, I wouldn’t have become the programmer I am today.
