Would anyone be able to suggest a quality photo of Joe to use for his Wikipedia page? I will be spending some time this weekend improving his page.

Joe's twitter gallery has a some nice ones that you might need to adapt for wikipedia (not sure about the license, though):

> At 17, Armstrong began programming Fortran on his school district's mainframe. This experience helped him during his physics studies at University College London, where he debugged the programs of his fellow students in exchange for beer. While working for the Ericsson Computer Science Lab, he helped develop Erlang in 1986.

This is pretty legendary. He was quite the programmer.
