[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I cannot believe others have this. I felt like we had reached the depths of slovelyness or something. My husband had told me we had mushrooms in the shower and that he saved one for me to see. It was a perfect specimen, a few inches tall. I scraped it up with a piece of cardboard and threw it away. Sounds like we can expect more to come back. I'll certainly take a picture next time, but I was in a hurry to get to work and the cleaning lady was coming this morning and I didn't want her to see it. I couldn't help telling her, though. She was appalled and said we better start spraying Tilex on after each shower. But sometimes the cat likes to get in the stall and drink water. I do think our tile needs redone. |

Yeah, I did figure that out after posting this, but it's funnier if it is just out of nowhere. ;) |

After four years, you might want some explanation. And that's precisely the relief I'm going to give you: "Pathetic Scum Moron" is an anagram of "Macintosh Computer", as the website hints at. |

Hey Guys,
Here r some suggesions for beating Q3A on nightmare1 level:
1. get a good optical mouse & nice hard mouse pad.
2. Make a good keyboard configuration, guidance will be found on net, such as zoom key.
3. use good graphics card, for speed.
4. practice railgun, rocket etc.
5. see various videos & demos on net. |

Yeah, I was going to guess Tim Berners-Lee. But then I was afraid of offending Dave Winer. (hah)
Huh, that is crazy that you were there at the same time... I wouldn't have had much time to hang out, but it would have been good to see you; oh well.. |

The first thing is consistent: The tile you're standing on doesn't block lasers (even if it's something like a wall). I think standing on a laser shouldn't kill you, because how can those four laser prongs hit you when you're standing "behind" all of them? But anyway it's too late to change, since several levels rely on it.
The second thing is basically a bug, but it's kind of fun, right? ;) |

Actually, the first browser was called WorldWideWeb and was written by Tim Berners-Lee:

A few responses:
About your grandmother, I'm sad to hear about that. In an odd (and now unfortunately inconsequential) coincidence, I was actually in Hamden at the same time! I was housesitting for my mama for 6 days, beginning that weekend. And I never do that for her anymore (it's generally a boring task), but I actually had wanted to get away from Boston and be (mostly) to myself for a little while, except I brought a couple of my bestest buds for the first and last couple of days, and it was great. Anyway, too bad I never thought for a second that you might be there too!
About Dance Dance Revolution, oh jeez, I am so addicted now too. In a reverse scenario, I housesat with one of those above mentioned buds for her family recently for a couple days, right after her little brother got it, and we played it almost the whole time.
About no fame in mathematics, heh, that reminds me of how a couple of my friends sometimes try to tell people that I am "famous" for the music software stuff that I've done, and I always shoot down that idea, usually with stuff like, "Do you know the name of any software developer out there? Even the person who made the first web browser or anything monumental like that?" And of course, no one who I ask does. Well, I can't even remember the name of the person who made the first web browser (which was called Mosaic or something like that, and then later renamed to Netscape, right?). |

Another note about lasers:
It's counterintuitive that the player stand on a single laser tile and be safe, but will be killed if there's a second adjacent laser.
Also, the following animation seems odd:
Start the level being shot by a laser, while standing next to an immovable tile. Push into the tile. The move counter won't go up, since it's not a valid move, but the laser animation will trigger, flashing the player.

I'd say David "Foster" Wallace is more obnoxious in that "I could say this in a few words but I choose to say it in many more because every thought that pops into my head is very important" way and David "Dave" Eggers is more obnoxious in that "I'm simultaneously hipper and more genuine than you due to my experiences with devastating loss/unbelievable responsibility and America's youth counterculture" way. But if you can get over the fact that neither author can get over himself, they are both interesting. Actually, DFW recently gave a commencement speech on the ubiquity of narcissism that makes for good reading.
Sorry to hear about your grammaw. Thanks for gathering the courage to write!!! |

No, Dave Eggers is much more obnoxious (in that pretentious look-at-me-look-at-me-I'm-so-great way) than David Foster Wallace. |

That will eventually go away. |

Actually, I meant stable as in preserving the existing order among ties (like merge sort, insertion sort, etc.). No important reason; it just occurred to me that it'd be cool to be able to see the unsolved levels ordered somehow other than alphabetically. If sorting was stable, then you could do Ctrl-N, Ctrl-V to get the unsolved levels on top, newest first. Or you could see the unsolved levels in style order, or a particular author's levels in difficulty order, or whatever. |

It should be stable in the sense that repeatedly sorting the same way produces the same result (this used to not be the case, and it was bad!). But this was done by making each sort order completely distinguishing (so that if two levels have the same number of solution moves, then it falls back on alphabetical comparison, etc.). I think then what you're asking for is trivially satisfied. ;) What is it exactly that's annoying or that you want to do and can't? |
| |
Minor suggestion: could the level sorting be stable? |

Well, I was just talking about the editor, which of course already has the mouse-over behavior. I dunno if I am ready to change the gameplay yet... |

I came upon your site by "accident" & I looked around a tad bit surprised & then began digging around the cybernetic backyard for a way to contact you. This seems to be the best way perhaps? I like your notes from school. I find you, interesting. & if you are bored someday & curiosity gets the best of you here is a way to contact me.
