Error came to the Achenblog I think from early on. He was honored as a Guest Kitter last summer and explained how his clever handle was born from an error itself:
My handle was the result of typing 'Error Flynn' instead of 'Errol Flynn,' one of my childhood heroes, and the intrepid Bayou Self pointed out that not only was it an error but it had a sort of rolled off the tongue. That I typed "error" shouldn't be a surprise because as a software developer I type it quite often. In this case it worked out. There are many cases in art and music where a 'mistake' might turn out better than what's planned.
I will miss Error Flynn. I'll miss his posts and I will be sad knowing that he's not in my world anymore.I'm glad I can go back and read his witty, kind, gruff and insightful posts and in that way I won't really lose him for good.

It's the Tiki Bar!!
Me too. I miss him a lot. At first glance, it seems odd to miss someone we never met, but he was part of our conversation everday. He was sitting on the prorch right next to us, we had a seat at the tiki bar with him. I'll miss his warmth and his humanity.

What a nice tribute, TBG. Error sure epitomized the spirit of the Boodle.
