Simon Ekström is a Life enthusiast who posts on the forums as simeks. His still life search program, written in 2017, was used to catalog all strict and pseudo still lifes with 30 or fewer cells and count all still lifes with 34 or fewer cells.[1] That same year, he advanced single-channel glider synthesis by ignoring common wisdom and demonstrating that it was possible even when the gliders were far enough apart from each other that they could be fed through standard components like Snarks and syringes.[2]
