Indeed it has:

For as long as I've been working with xTalks, most of the cool stuff any 
of us writes that involves math has been influenced if not written by 
Mr. Hurley.

 From HyperCard and SuperCard to LiveCode, Hurley's influence has been 
felt far and wide.

He is a math god, and more than that one of the best teachers I've ever 
known, able to not just possess valuable knowledge but also has the gift 
of being able to transfer that knowledge to others.

Damn, if he was my high school physics teacher I'd probably be working 
at NASA today.

He may get mad at me for writing this because he's also one of the more 
humble souls I've come across.  But it's the plain truth, as anyone here 
who's used his code will attest.

Thankfully, he lives a couple thousand miles from me so he can't come 
over here to punch me for my comments. :)

So I stand by them, with a career's worth of gratitude.

One of the very best moments I've ever had at a conference was at 
RevLive in Vegas when Jim showed me his rainbow simulator.  Ultra-cool 
stuff, as is just about everything he turns out.
