Hey, everybody! The name's Ink. Some of the older members may remember me, but most of you new people won't have the slightest idea of who I am.

 

A long ago I used to be a programmer and for a short time, a graphics team member. I made a few interesting things here and there, but overall I was just another angsty teenager.

 

So, I'm back now... while I may not necessarily become a programmer yet again, I'll surely try to assist those who need help or tips.

Hopefully I'll find my place soon!

Welcome back. I think you'll notice quite a lot has changed since you've been away.

Haha, I'm sure! Digibliss... man, that's old stuff

[Waser Lave]

Welcome back! I am Kate (evidently) or occasionally you may hear me referred to as Woug

What's a Woug?

Don't you mean Neotwist? 

 

Welcome back though.

Hola welcome back!

WB dude. There are a few oldies still floating around.

Are you interested in programming again? Or to put it more bluntly, have you moved past the VB stage of programming?

Psch, you clearly don't remember me that well

 

I never used VB, not once. The first program I released was completely cross-platform, if you recall

Now, I see that rather than using Java like I discussed with Mumei and Hydro back in the day, Codex headed towards Python.

That's an interesting choice, but I was expecting something interesting like C++ with Lua for simple scripting at this point

 

Really, I may only assist others with programming, especially since it seems most of the truly wanted programs have already been created.

If anyone has any crazy ideas, I may be up for a little collaboration.

I remember you - didn't you go to work for TNT or some shit?

 

Welcome back.

I mentioned VB more as a low water mark rather than to imply that you specifically used it You're asking me to remember what you programmed in 5 years ago? I barely remember what our programmers are working in now, let alone what you were working on five years ago. Until a few months back I thought the program manager was coded in Java, not Python

I believe Python was chosen in order to facilitate cross-platform functions, as well as the database functions. I could be wrong though, and there are many (perhaps better) reasons to use it. Also, our programmers at the time were all fluent in Python, whereas I think only Hydro knows C++ really well (maybe ShadowLink or Laser as well). Kind of odd really, because I remember Euphoria absolutely raving about Python and basically getting laughed out of the room. Four years down the road, here we are all using it.

Mumei sadly hasn't been seen in a while. I still remember how he bought the forum license for us. What a guy. On his motorcycle with his ponytail. Jolly fucker

Haha, watermarks aside, Visual Basic is pretty close to a dead product these days. I'm just messing around, really.

 

Java required more runtime pieces to be downloaded, so the transition the Python was a pretty logical one. The syntax is simple enough that most people can pick it up in a day or two.

 

I might work on a C++ and LuaJIT framework for giggles when I get a little more spare time

Welcome back dude

Welcome back! You came at qa good time, just when a good war is starting. And the new faerie abilities make the battledome extra nice.

[ink]

Thanks for all the welcomes, everyone!

 

I've never participated in a war because my pets were always too weak. Unfortunately, it seems I'll be in the same circumstance this time around as well
