Your comment really intrigued me to google this interesting person I had never heard about before. This may well not be used to you, but Kai has a not-a-blog blog that I stumbled upon on here http://kai.sub.blue/en/sizemo.html.
Some really interesting reads. I especially appreciated his articles on the passing of Douglass Adams (apparently a close friend of his!) and Then vs Zen.

F’n LEGEND! I spent hours per day twerking his filters for my thesis animation
Hunh, I’ll be in that neck of the world next week. Need to look into this…
Some-when in the 00's I read an article about him that he was putting advanced networking stuff into the castle and had the intention to start something like a "think-tank" (doesn't really fit it, but I don't know what I'd call it) where he and others would hang around and code stuff.
I found the article [1] from July 2002, "Lord of the Castle Kai Krause presents Byteburg II".
> So that 's Kai Krause's long-cherished plan: Now the software guru has finally opened a center for founders and developers from the IT and software industry in Hemmersbach Castle near Cologne -- the Byteburg II
I really wonder what he's doing to these days. His plug-ins were legendary, as well as the User Interface for Bryce [2]
