.plan files were a great way to follow Quake development.
He sure picked the right woman.
The Web being the Web, there's more, courtesy Wikipedia: "He met his wife, Katherine Anna Kang, at the 1997 QuakeCon when she visited id's offices. As a bet, Kang challenged Carmack to sponsor the first All Female Quake Tournament if she was able to produce a significant number of participants. Carmack predicted a maximum of 25 participants, but there were 1,500. Carmack and Kang married on January 1, 2000, and planned a ceremony in Hawaii. Steve Jobs requested that they would postpone the ceremony so he could attend the MacWorld Expo on January 5, 2000. Carmack declined and suggested making a video instead."
I ran down the source for that. It's Carmack himself, and the full story makes Jobs look even worse: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2146412825...

Oh. That settles it.
> Anna Kang left Id a couple weeks ago to found her own company - Fountainhead Entertainment.
> It wasn't generally discussed during her time at Id, but we had been going out when she joined the company, and we were engaged earlier this year. We are getting married next month, and honeymooning in Hawaii. At her thoughtful suggestion, we are shipping a workstation out with us, so I don't fall into some programming-deprivation state. How great is that? :)
