Scott R. Lemmon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scott R. Lemmon (January 1968 - May 1, 2004 [1]) was the author of the Proxomitron web filtering software. His work was very widely acclaimed. As a testament to the quality and popularity of his work, a tribute site to his efforts went up after he decided to close the Proxomitron project. The former TechTV network dedicated an entire episode of one of their technology review programs to the Proxomitron application. He died May 1, 2004 at the age of 36.

Scott had many loves: eclectic music (and included a request for the downloader of the Proxomitron to buy a Shonen Knife album), anime, boating, and of course working with his computer.

The cause of his death is not officially distributed knowledge, probably due to requests from his relatives.
