He is best known for his discovery of the loafer in 2013 which is the first and smallest known c/7 orthogonal spaceship (and the fifth smallest known spaceship overall). Besides this, he also found 37P4H1V0 and 77P6H1V1, the smallest known c/4 orthogonal and c/6 diagonal spaceships respectively.
He has also discovered several period-5 oscillators, particularly the first known statorless p5 and a variety of oscillators based on a light speed period 5 wick similar to ants.
He contributes to the ConwayLife.com forums under the username "velcrorex."

gollark: ???
gollark: It is possible to exploit this using a "spread-spectrum" thing, but really who cares.
gollark: My trilaterators on SC either monitor fixed channels or use the last 127 from a public modem sniffer, which works fine but means that if someone sends on a new channel for the first time in a while it won't know where that was from.
gollark: Then you'd miss things.
gollark: Are detectable via high entropy, although that would be a bit performance-intensive to check and might be false-positive-laden.
