What happened to Maniacbug?
-
Anyone else than me that who wonder what happened to Maniacbug?
He(or she) was the one who wrote the initial RF24 library. Then suddenly all digital footprints (GH, blog etc) just stopped around 2013.
https://maniacbug.wordpress.com/Didn't know until now. I just read a fragment of his impressive work. Spooky when such a productive person suddenly disappears.

I do often wonder if I'm honest with you. As you have probably noticed, I have referenced His/Her work a fair bit throughout my light switch development. I was using their information before I eventually found you guys, which let me tell you took too long! My skill set and confidence has increased many times over the last few months being here ;)

Great question. Even with his real name you can't find anything recent on the web.
Maybe @TMRh20Projects was at some point in contact with him? -
His legend lives on! I might do a little digging around tonight if i have half hour spare. Which i doubt with MySensors.org taking over my life 😂

Is it this guy?

I've wondered the same thing. You got me a little worried that perhaps he passed away, but I'm happy to say that I found at least one reference that indicates he is still around. He is leading a bike ride on March 22 :)

On Page 5/7 on the bottom, page 9 in the document, look for March 22 Eastside #11 ride (top right corner). He is one of the leaders. At first I thought maybe it was just old data, but he isn't listed for the other Eastside #11 rides, so this could be current. -
Somebody needs to inform him of the following that he has on here, haha.

I think we should put a post out for him, search for him and acknowledge his contributions to the development of the RF work.... I'm not even joking now by the way.

Seattle (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcoliz // https://github.com/maniacbug) and Newport Hills Park (https://issuu.com/cascadebicycleclub/docs/courier03_15_r9) are in a really near distance to each other. So it could be his Linkedin account :)
