A Place Lack of Magic and Wonder

Yes, that's right, there is no magic on this website. There is also a distinct lack of wonderous items. Sorceror is just a name I use online, as well as man_in_shack.

I'm still in the process of building content for this site, but there is an integrated forum set up. If you sign up to this site, you will also be able to use the forum.

This version of Turret is basically a test of the included "Mortar" engine.

Turret

Turret is a game where you control and defend a stationary turret. It's written in Python and rendered in 3D using OpenGL.

Once again, does anyone really care?

For a long time I've been fascinated with the idea of encryption, that is taking a "message" and transforming it into something that at least appears to be completely unrelated, for the purposes of hiding the message from unauthorised people.

Honk if you care!

I'm now 21 years old. Isn't that just fun? I had a party on Saturday, going out to dinner with family tonight, and another party is scheduled in June. Not to mention the other small celebrations I have to have with my friends who can't attend any of the parties.

I got a whole bunch of awesome for my birthday. You read that right, a whole bunch of awesome Smiling

The Sun Armada

According to the timestamp on the original copy of this piece on my harddisk, this was written in early August 2003. At the time, I had just found myself a new midi sequencer application, and was playing around with it.

Now available in Australia!

sorceror.id.au has now moved from a server somewhere in the USA to a server somewhere in Australia. Ain't that just grand?

This version has two different implementations. One uses multiple files to get the information about the batteries, the other uses one device-summary file per battery. You can switch between the two modes by changing the variable ACCESS_MODE in the source code to one of MULTIFILE or UEVENT.

The Elephant and the Evangelant

Story link

This link was posted to the #atheists channel. It is a well-written homage to Dr Seuss, where an elephant named Horton meets an evangelist. It is so well-written, and captures the problem of atheist persecution so well, I just had to post it on my own website.
