RIP lilo

Rob Levin (aka lilo), founder of the freenode IRC network, has died from injuries resulting from being hit by a car whilst riding his bike.

I knew Rob in passing, talking to him a few times on IRC; he was unfailingly friendly and helpful, and the service he did for the community by keeping freenode running has been immeasurable.

Bye, Rob.
