Interesting, as always, to see what searches bring people to this
site. The Captain Planet comic is bringing quite a few people in.

New version of rfk2. I fixed the stairway problem, but an unrelated
problem causes segfaults when you shoot right next to an enemy. The
whole bullet thing needs to be rethought, so this will be the last
rfk2 for a while, probably. You can toggle synchronous mode on and
off by hitting the S key. Synchronous mode means everything moves
once after you move and then stops and waits for you to move again.
It's of no use in rfk2, but as rfk2 is supposed to be a general
framework for ANSI games, I figured I'd put it in. So now I could
do rfk1 in the framework provided by rfk2.

I thought of a way to do the cookie subversion thing, but it's
not as easy as the way I couldn't do it last year. Browsers won't
accept cookies from domains other than the domain offering the cookie.
So instead of just setting the cookie I'd have to print out the
cookie text and have the user cut and paste it into their cookies.txt.
This limits the scope of the subversion somewhat.
Hm, interesting idea for a client-server program.

I have a fourth song that mentions Andy, but it's not done, and
probably never will be.

I added a link to Scott Hammack's personal slang dictionary on the
Leonardonics page. When I say I want to see your personal slang
dictionary, I mean I want to see your personal slang dictionary, and I also mean
that if you don't have one, I want you to write one. Anyone can
make a personal slang dictionary, and, as far as I'm concerned,
everyone should. Even if it's just a couple terms.

Mark Twain's The
Late Benjamin Franklin has got to be one of the funniest things
I have ever read. Enjoy in moderation.
I typed that in just now. I'm not expecting you to be awed by that,
I'm just explaining why I'm putting a copy on my site and not pointing
to it somewhere else.
Fred is having this moral crisis about the crappy proprietary
software you have to use in the digital design lab. He won't
agree to the licensing agreement, and believes that this prohibits
him from using the software. Sheesh! I wish that was my biggest moral problem.
To his credit, Fred is not (just) a whiner. He is writing a GPLed
replacement for the crappy proprietary software you have to use in
the assembly language class (the infamous and much-mocked CUSP).
I salute him for that. Also, I went through rfk2 with him today and he enjoyed my code, and I showed
him some new C tricks. This I am proud of, as he previously
proved to be the repository of all Linux-display-related knowledge, thus
making me feel inferior.
Today is the day of swiping stuff from school. I swiped the toaster
from CSUA, as I have none of my own (I'm a hatter), and I was having
to toast my bread in the oven, and it was always burning. I also
swiped the fan from Peter's office, as my apartment is impossibly
hot, especially at night. I doubt that fan has seen daylight in
fifteen years.

I'm going to give the stuff back, obviously, once someone else
needs it.

The URL tree printer now generates valid HTML 4.0. I fixed it by
making the Franklin page verify correctly.
