i am a cd-noder

Not only do I have CD (400) writeups, but I also have CD (lyrics) writeups.

but i am obsolete

I don't know what to do with my life now that I have discovered that I am obsolete. There doesn't seem to be a market for systems programmers anymore, as the systems programming that used to be part of multimedia applications has been abstracted into libraries such as OpenGL. Now games are merely applications.

Speaking of games, I need some help for the art and music in a side-scroller to be developed for the NES. I can't lift media from another game; that would be copyright infringement.

America sucks.

I am seriously considering moving to .ch after I graduate from Rose-Hulman because the Swiss government has no strings to hold it down, unlike corporate puppet Congress.

writeupdates

• cloaking yourself now reflects editorial policy as revealed to me in Chatterbox and new default settings for Guest User. It also features qousqous's dangling carrot analogy.
• Colin is now a metanode of all things Colin and <span spellcheck="ignore">Collin</span>. (I didn't remove the precious ASCII art.)
• hamster dance assimilated my (now deleted) writeup in hamsters dancing on a web page.
• Pinocchio is finished, with a surprise ending that should be familiar to Dallas viewers.
• primary key now contains a few examples and a clarification of when a whole row can be a candidate key.
• Tetris complete is generalized to cover more complex games such as Dr. Mario and Tetris Attack.
• Yes! We have no bananas! now compares the entropy of melodies to the entropy of English text.
