well as I said I wrote some code to collect and tweak the
user images some, but the actual mosaic was done by a
program called metapixel. Google will feed it to you pretty
easily, but it's for unix machines only (well you can run it
on windows if you tweak some shit..)

Weird entertaining projects like these help provide the
impetus to learn what might otherwise be, . joagi bla blab
bal I shouldn't write. I havn't read anything in a year and
my brain is national enquirer material. I don't even know if
that made any sense. I just stumbled upon an extra paycheck
I didn't know I was going to get so now can probably buy a
computer if I need to. I'll leave now so you can do
something more productive than read this. And so I can.. do
something different but equally unproductive.

Sonic is a so-so game to me I guess. It's reallyl good the
first time, but lacks replay value. Lately everytime I got
to a new level I'd just wait there and listen to the music
for the first life (the game is timed unfortunatly for 10
minutes). Sonic gets pissed that you're more interested in
the music than the game and eventually lies down bored and
tails starts yawning.

It's the same in toejam and earl. Really excellent music but
the character feels compelled to fall asleep and start
snoring when you don't play for awhile, thus ruining the
music. Luckily I found a trick to stay in the elevator where
they never sleep. They still sneeze sometimes though.

The end.

I just beat Dr. Robotnik's mean bean machine on hardest (I
got some ps2 pack that has all the sonics on it). At first I
thought it was a really awesome game because it forces you
to really think in a heuristic sense, and there are so many
possible strategies for such a simple game... but eventually
you learn the game just sucks because one strategy, the
simplest of just almost randomly filling the screen high on
the sides is superior and the pieces fall too fast to even
be able to turn them which is stupid.

sonic actually takes the fuck off in sonic CD. yeah the
replay is low, but you can have some fun collecting all the
shit in sonic 3 + knuckles. I find the games mildly
enjoyable now and then, and replay the some levels. I have
emulator save states on almost all levels in every one,
so..

I think I played that bean shit once and hated it. The end.

sooooooooo if you get a computer will you possibly get into
linux? I just think it could be a fulfilling hobby and the
are shitloads of free programming tools available. takes
time, but could be a lot of fun if you feel like dedicating
that time.

antarctica AND lasers. Being mentally bankrupt, he'll
either kill himself with it or disable it (occupying lots of
time in the process), either way removing him from
consideration.

Well I'll go now. If this last hostile character wasn't so
obviously harmless and cute in a pathetic sort of way, I'd
bother staying and defending you with gravity and lasers.

Intelligence is overrated. Being able to walk down the
street without people laughing and pointing at you for being
such a fucking twat is more important in my opinion. I'll
leave you to your geekspeak, you sad little knob.

Having a little bit of perception is necessary. Any idiot
(you must be a new level of stupidity!) recognizes that your
behavior will receive many more uncomfortable reactions than
any weird machinations of mine. now go fuck off.

I still like Steve Forbes plan to cut a USA shape out of
Eurasia and call it Forbes America. I bet steve's not even
his first name and I look like a fool. More accurately, I
bet steve's not even his first name and I look like a fool
for using it (because I look like a fool regardless). What?
Anyway, so yeah, I havn't left yet. Hmm.

Not really.. I use linux so the apps are different, and I'm
pretty old school, just a text editor for code =/ sorry

common code editors are called 'IDE's, for 'integrated
development environment'; if you google 'java ide' or
whatever, you should find some free ones.

Yeah, I think I'll try linux. Maybe linux on one computer
and windows on another. I think I'll keep this one since it
seems to play doom2 really well without screwing up.

good idea.. when you have more than one computer, fucking
one up is no pain at all. I have an operating system which
sucks dicks, takes out the trash, and strokes my ego, but
it's not finished yet. I'll keep you informed on it of
course. did you think my first sample AI was going to be a
male?

nice work; you extracted all of this into a sql database.
you have too much spare time - want a job? :P

nice to see another person who appreciates ruby; i've used
it to write some system management software before and
really liked the mentality behind it. i've since fortrayed
into python, but still am quite fond of it.

It's odd, the other day i was looking at the sleeve of ICBYD
and i thought that'd make a good desktop wallpaper but the
only one i could find on the interweb was one of these
collage thingies and now you've made a collage thing out of
my avatar and... i don't really know what my point is.
