Rest in peace, Fravia+
"3rd May 2009 will be present in the memories of many reverse engineers for a quite long time. The felling of sorrow
is unevitable for the lost of someone that altought (most of us) didn't know personally, we still could feel so close
as a friend and at the same time so far away from us regarding all his knowledge, toughts, and his 56 years of
experience that one only acquires living!
Fjalar Ravia, known as Fravia, has being enchanting - is there any word better than this? - us for years, with his
writings and his enigmatic site. A true reverse engineering dinossaur, from the golden era of cracking, which within
other giants either pioneers of this art, has brought us knowledge, lessons and insights that will be forever
incomparable.
I feel sad when I imagine that we have just written this tribute for you because you left us. But then I think again
and I realize that you have been honored for years. And the merit is yours for writing, organizing and spread unique
knowledge. And we honor you silently day by day everytime we read it. We are doing what you wanted us to do. We are
learning, evolving and applying the things you taught us.
Fravia+, the years will just increase the nostalgy of your name. You can be sure that anything was in vain, many
generations will be inspired by everything you let us, as gifts. Rest in peace my friend, because you have already
won your battle in this life. We hope to find you in the next, whenever, wherever or however it will be.",

Reverse Engineers, let's keep alive the passion flame for the true knowledge!
Fravia wanted his site ( www.fravia.com or www.searchlores.org ) to be alive until, at least, 2032. Let's make his dream become true!
Some of Fravia+ last lessons:
"Yet my most cherished advice to all friends is the following: learn to enjoy your contingent present, don't be
obsessed by the future. Carpe diem, and enjoy the current emotions: a starry sky, a fresh wind, the shells on the
seashore, your love at your side in the night, a long talk in the evening twilight with a friend, the smile of your
kids. Substituting *that* with a TV -or a computer screen- is a very poor bargain... that is one of the few things I
am now pretty sure of.", Fravia+
"[...] never underestimate all sciences "in decadence", they are often quite powerful resources, lowballed (or even
forbidden) on purpose by those that want you to just work, drool before a TV screen and consume consume consume...
wasting your whole life in order to be able to buy slightly sooner a car of a different color.", Fravia+

"O dia 3 de maio de 2009 estará presente na lembrança de muitos engenheiros reversos durante longos anos. É
inevitável a tristeza pela perda de alguém que embora (a maioria de nós) não conhecesse pessoalmente, podíamos ainda
sentir tão próximo, como um amigo e ao mesmo tempo tão distante com todo seu conhecimento, seus pensamentos, e seus
56 anos de experiência que só se adquire vivendo.
Fjalar Ravia, mais conhecido como Fravia, há anos nos encanta - será que existe palavra melhor do que essa? - com
seus escritos e seu site enigmático. Um verdadeiro dinossauro da engenharia reversa, da época de ouro do cracking,
que junto com outros gigantes também pioneiros na arte, trouxe para nós conhecimentos, ensinamentos e insights que
serão incomparáveis para o resto de nossas vidas.
Fico triste em pensar que só paramos para te homenagear porque você partiu. Mas ao pensar novamente, percebo que você
tem sido homenageado há anos. O mérito é seu por escrever, organizar e divulgar textos únicos. E nós te homenageamos
silenciosamente cada vez que os lemos. Estamos fazendo o que você queria. Estamos aprendendo, evoluindo e aplicando o
que você nos ensinou.
Fravia+, os anos só aumentarão a nostalgia do seu nome. Pode ter certeza que nada foi em vão,
muitas gerações ainda vão se inspirar em tudo que você nos deixou de presente. Descanse em paz porque a sua luta
nessa vida você já venceu. Esperamos um dia te encontrar na próxima, seja quando, onde ou como for."

Engenheiros Reversos, vamos manter viva a chama da paixão pelo conhecimento verdadeiro!
Fravia queria que seu site ( www.fravia.com or www.searchlores.org ) ficasse vivo pelo menos até 2032. Vamos fazer o sonho dele se tornar realidade!
