Nothing like a major milestone to throw you into a whirl of nostalgic self-reflection. Today I’m 30. 30 years old. Here is a very nerdy retrospective of the computers that made up my life…

Pinball on YouTube
Friday, May 22, 2009Lol! You spawn something new everyday. Quite by chance I came across a youtube video about “Hacking windows pinball” which reminded me of an article I wrote yonks ago called, strangely enough, Hacking Windows Pinball. “I wonder if it’s related?” I wondered. It was. It was just a video of the “hidden test” cheat I found. Then, to my surprise, I looked at the related videos… There’s zillions of them!
Some of them take even longer to explain how to type 2 words than I did explaining how to reverse engineer in assembler language. And sooooo much bad music… But it does highlight an important message: If you want your content to be popular, it has to be relevant to the interests of 14-year-olds.

Imagine, just imagine, you discovered the most awesomely best thing in the known universe. And then, on that very same day, in that very same shop, you discovered the equally most awesome thing in the known universe. And THEN, imagine realising that if you combined those two most best things together, that the blinding goodness of mixed elements would multiply together to create a result of such intense and astonishing goodness as to render all other things in the known universe to be pretty crappy in comparison.
Well, I did that.
