Kenny’s home!
Oh MAN did I just get a flashback…
The Rise And Fall Of A Popular Application.
Aneurism (Purposefully misspelled) was a program that I wrote for myself when I was playing a Zelda-based MMORPG called Graal. It basically enabled you to have text scroll over your head in-game, and/or create command macros. I gave it to a few of my close in-game friends with the explicit instructions not to give it to anyone else. Boy was I naive…
The fascinating thing about this adventure wasn’t really the program itself, but how it exploded in popularity in the community without my knowledge, became a prt of the vocabulary, and just as quickly was dropped as if it was diseased (due to a post in the last thread in the link above). You can read my frantic attempt to stem the tide, but alas, I was months too late.
Herein lies the lesson that I learned about using example code willy-nilly with no regards to what else might be inside: Programmer beware.
I coulda been a contenda! It coulda been the most popular program in that community! But alas, Aneurism was slain in its youth, and the Gold Edition I released containing none of the extra text, and scripting didn’t seem to make much of an impact on the public opinion. The scarlet letter T (for Trojan) had already been sewn onto it. *sniff* I miss that little program.
Picasso. Picasa. Brothers in arms.
Picasso could kick the shit out of Pikachu.
The true question is: which of the four times you took statistics does it remind you of?
Also, Battlestar last night? ++
York Peppermint Patties remind me of statistics, because I would always eat one in class. Somehow, I can still enjoy the taste. Isn’t that strange?
Not sure if anyone noticed, but the url for the forum has been changed to http://forum.juxentente.com so update your bookmarks and whatnot. Unless you are lazy like me and use the link in the Jux Menu that is.
Open request: If anyone out there has any idea what the hell happened to my Mage: the Ascension book, please tell me.
