More gardening today - the current project is to grow some parsley. Didn't work out very well last time, but now I have refined the methodology.

Funny how just a couple of years make such a big difference. If there is one thing people should remember about 1990's technology, it is how fast it developed and how fast it could grow obsolete, seemingly overnight. And while Doom's official Doom 95 version is hardly playable nowadays (requires a whole bunch of workarounds), Quake's official Windows version hold their ground pretty well.

The wonders of the raycasting engine. Yeah, being so flat hardly makes you feel like you are playing somethign in "3D". Might as well have been a top-down perspective thing.

I'm sure your database and serve will be a lot better than ours. The people who made ours were not merely the lowest bidder, I bet they were the bottom of the proverbial barrel as well. And when I tell people about all the bugs I have to deal with, they can't believe me - that's how outrageous it all sounds.

They may be watching, you know... watching and gritting their teeth with envy :P
