Yeah I've been doing more lurking than posting lately ... sometimes my company has this totally unrealistic expectation that I'm actually going to do something productive, and they send me on the road for weeks on end during which time I have lengthy discussions regarding advanced cryptography methods, secure voice and data communications, and basically accomplish nothing. Then they let me come back home and do nothing here for awhile. At least I can get a decent Mai-Tai when I'm home - it's hell when I'm on the road, although I've managed to concoct a few interesting libations while trying to improvise! I think I've seen a nice sushi pattern locally and if you can't find yours let me know and I'll go see if they still have some. That would be cool! Now, all we need to do is think about a lined pocket! About the game ... A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away (early 80's - Cambridge Mass. actually), I worked with a company called Infocom, who created some of the earliest games for the original IBM PC and Apple platforms. These included the legendary Zork series, as well as The Hitchhiker's Guide game, and a later work, Bureaucracy - these latter two created in collaboration with Douglas Adams. The games were billed as "interactive text adventures" and were crude by today's standards, but were amazingly entertaining, and consumed thousands of hours of what might otherwise have been useful time devoted to more productive pursuits. Since it's off topic, PM me if you're interested, and I can give you a LOT more information than you'll ever want or need! Cheers!
