Coding in BatMUD
I've hung out in BatMUD, a large
(the largest?) LP-mud (MultiUser Dungeon/Dimension), from 1996 and it
has stayed as the only mud that I have continuously actively played until I
wizzed in January 26th 1999. I used to spend a large part of my life coding and
creating stuff in there. Now I'm just mainly busy with work.
I still do hang around so you might find me at the happy hour of the Rusty Shield Bar (picture by Brurin), located in
Arelium. If not, you can always drop me a
mail.
Current happenings:
- (16.8.2008) Status report vol. 2! Brurin drew me a picture of Rusty Shield Bar. And pretty cool picture it is. Awesome! Other than that, floorball continues. And so does work. And I went back to school, to Helsinki University Faculty of Arts this time, wonder if I get anything done.
- (18.2.2008) Status report! Nobody's drawn me a picture of Rusty Shield :(.
Disappointing. Mainly playing Floorball with mudders these days. Gimme a tell if interested.
- (1.11.2005) I just found text I wrote about
Bat's 15th birthday last spring. Maybe that was meant for the web page but
never made it.
- (22.10.2005) Not much to report. Done maintenance stuff, helped out the
new wiz-recruits. They're even doing progress, ain't that something! Something
in the back of my brain is saying that it's time to whip up a new something
into the game, though, since I no longer have good excuse not to, study
(graduated at spring, wohoo!) or workwise (I'm no longer a researcher with
work in my mynd 99% of time).
- (3.2.2005) The area is done. Sorry for the delay. It was about time to
get it to the game, earliest datestamps in the code are from 2002.
Sheesh. Anyway, it's in the game, enjoy.
- (13.1.2005) Ok, not few weeks. But it's nearly there. I only need one
weekend or so to take care of it. Actually it's all up to Juggelo now,
he promised to code some specials that are the only thing missing! Hah.
Meanwhile, I'll finish my thesis.
- (14.11.2004) Been coding the area. Hopefully it'll be finished in
few weeks. About time, I started coding it over two years ago.
- (17.9.2004) Been back to Finland for couple weeks now. Still
quite busy though, as I just started writing my Master's Thesis and
working in a research group for at least the next six months. Oh yeah,
I'll be graduating as Bachelor next week. Hopefully M.Sc. isn't far in
the future either.
- (1.5.2004) Not much to report. Been approving Dino's area
complex. Goddamn, it's huge. Luckily Melemkor had done some of it
already. Life is getting busy, I'm starting my thesis (finally),
and going to work in Switzerland for summer so there's not much
time left for Bat currently. A shame.
- (29.2.2004) Finished some stuff for Melemkor. Been coding on and
off. And fixing tons of glitches and bugs in Other People's
Areas. Bugtrack (bug-command for you) is your friend. Use it.
- (14.1.2004) Back from Christmas break. Didn't get anything done
as I stayed away from the computer (except when using it to watch
DVDs). New semester starting, and I should get started with my
thesis at some point (first I need to figure out a topic for it,
though). We'll see if I can get something done here.
