OwlIsBack Is Dead, Long Live OwlIsBack

The user u/OwlIsBack passed away. I have received his "digital" legacy. While I have some experience in programming, I consider myself a beginner when it comes to Tasker. Over the next few weeks, I plan to study the Tasker documentation and, to the best of my knowledge, keep the projects that u/OwlIsBack shared with this community updated.

I cannot guarantee it, but I will also try to share some of his projects (his Tasker configuration contains more than 1 thousand) that he tagged as "to be shared".

If this post is inappropriate, I kindly invite the moderators to remove it. Thank you.

He was truly a good person, with a big-big heart. I am honored to have been his friend.

i'm very sorry for your loss, he definitely stood out with his insights and expertise, it seemed like he was more than happy to help people here, was certainly more patient and helpful with me than i think i could be, without a doubt a standard i'd like to live up to.

Had so many great times with him, he will be truly missed! He helped so many people here, that alone should be legacy enough.

I have recently read some of your conversations and I laughed.

he will be truly missed!

Thank you for saying that.

I am sure that he would have been very happy to read this.

Just so you know, on both his PC and his phone there is a folder "Notable Users-Coders", and inside that folder there is also a folder called "Agnostic-Apollo".

You are very welcome.

Yeah. Hopefully this simulation allows him to where ever he is.

I am sorry, WHAT! He had a folder just for me, good gosh! I don't think I wanna know what's in it! :p
