Kenneth Brakke..he was kind enough to help me with some programming circa 2014-2015.
Seems so long back.

He is intimidatingly bright since apparently he translates Plato’s works into english in addition to programming Surface Evolver, though the version of his page I see seems vandalized?

Hi DUers, can you tell me if you see this?

There is no way Prof Brakke would type it as Plateau rather than Plato.

There is even this site that I saw recently which I cannot log onto: en.democraticunderground or something.
My version of Wikipedia and the web is fucked up.
