There hasn't been a new BYOND release since January 14! Are we expected to believe that Dantom has done nothing in three whole weeks? No! And moreover, nay! They're keeping it a secret for their own diabolical ends, just as they did with non-carcinogenic cigarettes and the 90-miles-per-gallon carburetor (or 254233.437846783 centimeters per deciliter). [1]
Of course, Dantom's lapdogs will say that this is because there are so few bugs to fix now (only two bug reports in the past week, not counting the underscore thing, which strikes me as more of a feature request, albeit a good one). But I know better!
...OK, I admit it... I'm just babbling because I don't want to work on Cribbage. But I guess I will now.
[1] I was going to actually calculate the real figure but upon reflection realized it just wasn't worth it. Besides which, the only people who would actually care would also spell "centimeter" and "deciliter" with the last two letters reversed. :)

Ah, then you must have intercepted my private emails to Tom regarding the obscure icon bug I found. So that makes at least 3 bug reports... any more that you know of but aren't telling the rest of us? | |

We violated our pact yet again and have added yet more crap for the 272 "final" release. As usual Dan did the bulk of the damage (and I say "damage" quite literally, as a pre-release of one of the new features crashed my machine!). But I think you'll like what's in store-- mainly a more convenient way to track and play games. We've also added a few new web toys that should be up any day now. The plan is to tentatively have a release ready tommorow night or perhaps Wed. Stay tuned! | |

I'm just posting to say I love the name Ernie Dirt. No deception. Thanks! It was a very popular Wasteland name for me and my buddy! We had an Ernie Dirt every time we played! It was good clean fun.... What is the origin of your rather unique name? On the side, if anyone out there ever managed to Hex edit your Dos WL characters, TELL ME! Let me be free to dream of new things! | |

The funny thing is, when I got AIM a while back it didn't occur to me to set the privacy preferences I had on AOL, and I got IMed by someone named Bilal who thought I was his sister. He was in Saudi Arabia. Zilal is an Arabic woman's name. Go figure. There is no last name to Zilal. Notdirt is a nice one, though. Z | |
That's how you weird Americans should spell it, too! But with your crazy Independence War and all... =)
