It was definitely DDJ.. back in the early 90s, right? I once asked Walter Bright (creator of D) if they were related and he told me it was just a naming coincidence.

Known to cause heisenbugs. They're bugs that disappear when you try to measure them with a debugger or a printf.

Yeah back before github existed, we used sourceforge to host opensource, and you had to use CVS. Then later Subversion.

ah man.. that's a part of the internet I really miss. For those that don't know, the .plan file was a file you put in your home folder, and anyone on the internet could run finger johnc@idsoftware.com (or your own user@server obviously) which would output your status and your .plan and .project files. Which is why people have a copy of John Carmack's .plan file.

I prefer using the command line.. but it is nice to be able to use a TUI to select the staging files, so this works out perfectly.

The problem is that if you send a message just blindly, you can be tricked into sending spam to millions of addresses. I do one thing that prevents that, but does violate the standard, I verify there's only 1 '@' in the address.. this technically prevents people with '@'s in their name, but they probably find it impossible to do anything with that address anyway.

If you're going to do a text adventure, don't deprive yourself of using the most English friendly dsl ever, inform 7.

State machines always make me think of the Disk II controller on the Apple II. It uses a state machine to implement reading and writing sectors to disk.
