Payden Sutherland's Death

[JonnyWhatshisface]

The lack of correspondence from Payden regarding this project had me very curious, so I began digging to see if I could find out where he mysteriously disappeared to. I figured at worst case, he was tied up working and just overall busy. However, I found out today that he actually passed away on September 24, 2014. It's very sad, to say the least, as he leaves behind some very innovative and creative work. As such, don't expect him to be answering any questions on here moving forward (obviously).

I'm going to pick up where he left off and begin working on the library. His implementation of libwebsock is far superior to any out there right now in terms of ease of use and functionality. It makes sense to keep its development alive and going. With it, he'll technically live forever. Anyone interested in joining in, please contact me via [email protected] - I'll be bringing up a new Git repository shortly today.

Thank you, Payden, for your exemplary work and incredible creativity. RIP.

I just noticed that he had died as well from googling his name :(

I noticed your repo: https://github.com/JonnyWhatshisface/libwebsock

However, I think it would've been better to just create a fork of this repo and retain the history of all commits... I have a pull request now #28 with windows and cmake support. Github won't just let me change the pull request to your repo since it's not related to this in any way.

A shame to lose him, his code stands as a testament to his genius. My condolences to his family.

I just read this post now. It's too sad to hear that.

Rest in peace...

He was a great co-worker. Very brilliant person. I'm so proud that people ended up getting something out of his work and he really enjoyed giving things to the community.

OMG! I think the title is a joke.
