Geek On

[zenmondo]

I want to get my geek on. Its been a while since I have done something pretty geeky. Only now I am in the search of something to actually write or build. Jolt Finder was my last big geek out, and there really isn't much left to do with that. I suppose I could write an "Edit Location" script to get me back in the coding mood.

I am kind of disapointed with Jolt Finder. Its so mild a success its almost a failure. Maybe I should try to get it slashdotted again. I submitted a story when I first wrote it, and it stayed pending for more than a year, neither rejected nor approved. It may still be pending, but it has dropped off my user page.

So I am looking for suggestions. Anything you would want to see me throw my geekly powers at?

Hmmm, how about a web page with software that is accessible to visually impaired or blind people?

I'd rather write some software instead of link to it.

Well you could write an Interactive Fiction game in Inform...

Heck, I'd even help you with that. I've always wanted to do it.

If you do make some other kind of game, I hope it is DOS with big screen mode!

Thats an idea... hmmm. Interactive fiction.

Yeah, that would be cool! I had this idea for writing a game called "Spork!" which is kind of a Zork spoof involving finding various sporks, such as a plastic spork, wooden spork, titanium spork, silver spork, gold spork, jewelled spork, etc. Hahaha :)

I've registered, but it keeps telling me my password is invalid...

Remember that the username is case sensitive, as is your password. If all else fails, you can go to http://www.joltfinder.com/forgotpw.php and reset your password.

I just took a peek at the database and I see your username is 'fledchen' I can't help you with your password, as it is encrypted.

Oops...I think I know what the problem is now. :)

I see you added a location. #80! Thank you!

[fledchen.livejournal.com]

It's the store where I work. :) I'll try to see if the other locations carry the same stuff.

oh oh oh I forgot to tell you my cool geek idea.

Wouldn't it be cool to create a Star Wars Immersion Hotel? I have all these ideas and just know you would enjoy the project...if you want to think on it with me. It's totally fantasy fun but wouldn't it be cool?

I put a lot of thought into this and will be posting about it. I really would love your input. Look for the post ok? I am off to write it now.
