one reason i really respect algernon is he somehow manages to continuously work on iocaine and nam-shub of enki and add new bot detecting solutions and not get tired of it

@tauon I do get tired of it. I got tired of them is why I even started. The reason I keep going is really, really simple, and much less heroic or admirable: vengeance.

I'm normally a patient person. As the old wisdom goes: do not trigger a patient person. The Crawlers didn't heed that warning, they made me Angry like nothing since 1996 December 24th.

Angry Algernon is not a nice person. Angry Algernon is Vengeful, spiteful, and the crawlers deserve what they get. It's only gonna get worse (for them).

@algernon what happened at 24th of december 1996?

@tauon @algernon legendary crashout probably

@tauon Windows95 ate my D: drive, with half a decade of code, music and writings and poems and whatnot on it - everything I've ever done since we got our PC in 1991. I installed Linux two days later.

(And restored most of the drive some 20 years later, because fuck Windows, it's not going to win.)

@buherator @tauon One of these days, I'll have to commission someone to draw me a backdrop with these words, but with a mouse. :)
