What Ever Happened To...?

For some reason I suddenly started wondering what ever happened to the guy, about a decade ago, who moved into an empty house and planned to get everything he needed to live (furniture, food, etc.) off the Internet without leaving the house for a year. Does anyone remember him or what happened to him? I seem to remember that he ended up leaving the house before the year, but I'm not sure. I tried several word combinations on Google and Ask.com trying to look up information on him, but came up empty.
