"Voluntarily retiring"? Sounds suspicious, familiar maybe, especially given the past nature of ticalc.org. I realize there is a good 94-95% chance that ticalc is telling the honest-to-dog truth about this one, but I'll be ready to read another story if it comes out (and clogs the mailing lists for weeks).

wow, there are people out there who are REALLY paranoid apparently.

You bastards, you killed Kenny!!!!, whoops, I mean, er, Ahmed must have left by himself....I mean, he was clueless about what goes on at ticalc sometimes, and his games kick ass, so he must make some more,.. er, I mean, would ticalc kick him out b/c he lives in Ga, the dumbest state in the union next to Alabama?, I didnt think so. Er, Ahmed, go make some kick ass games now that you have some free time......

i hope ell-dee-ess does a good job. he told me to comment on this, so i am. have fun.

I would like to congratulate ldspartan on his position working at ticalc.org. I have only known him for few months over IRC, but have come to respect him quite a bit. He is a great person and I know he will do a great job. Congratulations Ldspartan! :)

I probably don't deserve all that lavish praise, but thank you both.

Now for some real irony - have Brian Rabeler apply under an alias, get the file archiving position, do a damn good job at it, and maybe one day he can tell everyone that it's really him =)

dammit! _I_ wanted to do that!!!

As a member of #ti for as long as some can remember, I knew lds from back in the day when neither of us had ops, and I can say he's a great guy who's also a good listener and helper when problems come up. I know ticalc.org's file archives are now in good hands. Congrats and good luck on all your endeavors!

clever irony how #ti has decayed into a channel dedicated to anything non-calc. (/me looks thru his logs finds some funny shit but very little calculator refrences unless they be <n3wb13> anybody know how to beat smq? *** n3wb13 was kicked from #TI by Spheroid (no ti stuff u f00l) )

anyway, congrats lds, u b |<00| |-|4+.

lds is cool.

Algorithm, you're mighty talkative eh? ;)

a man who can say the most stuff in as little words is truly a great man ;)

Well, if you were trying to convey your feeling that Ids is cool, then it got right to the heart of the matter. :)

I like sausages.

Since there is a new archiver, I may just start posting my programs at TICalc again. I submitted SchoolSuite 2.5g today (it's been out for about a week)... we'll see how that one goes. If the new guy doesn't try to tell me what I can and can't do with my own software (like Kirk Meyer did), then I guess I'll keep sending stuff in.

For those of you who don't remember (or who just plain didn't notice), I stopped submitting my programs to TICalc shortly after Kirk took over. It had nothing to do with the Rabeler VS TICalc issue... it was because Kirk Meyer was trying to tell me what I could and couldn't state as the information for my submitted programs. I received E-Mail stating that I ~MUST~ give my real name, not "The Notorious Computerman" (which, btw, has been my programmin name ever since I've been online). This is after I'd already had several programs of mine accepted under that name in the past. He threatened to mark it Anonymous, and I said, "OK fine." Rather than using anything related to "Notorious Computerman" or marking it anon, the guy got my real name from the credit screen and used that.... Needless to say, I had a bit of a problem with that.

Yes, that sounds like Kirk.

*sigh* That was about the first day after I took over. As far as I knew, only full names were allowed. As time goes on, I have seen that obviously all sorts of names are allowed, handles, etc. I'm sure that the file you just submitted will be accepted.

Hey, Kirk when is the next TIAC?

Okay, everyone... there were no hitches, and SchoolSuite version 2.5 has been added to the archives. You can find it in the updates at the bottom of the page, or in the TI-85 BASIC archives. (Please, no flames about being a BASIC programmer. If you feel you must insult, at least try some of my software before acting).

Also, I am in desperate need of one more person to fill up the programming staff for Triangle Man RPG. You must have a good knowledge of TI-85 BASIC, enjoy music by They Might Be Giants, and be at least somewhat enthusiastic about roleplaying games. You can find out more at my webpage.

One final thing: congrats to JL of Macross Software for winning Icarus Productions' latest round of ZPC. [SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE: VISIT MACROSS's MESSAGE BOARD]
