1:54 AM - A long, long time ago... (posted by Allen )
In 1982 I got my first 4K computer, and I've been programming ever since. In 1990 I cofounded a software company called Sub-Etha Software. My partner and I wrote and sold programs at computer shows and through magazines. One of my last creations was a version of the classic Space Invaders for the Radio Shack Color Computer. A year or so after I wrote it, a guy offered to port it to another computer (the MM/1). Now, several years later than later, he pops up again and has ported it to Mac OS X. I thought it was cool so I am passing along the link... http://homepage.mac.com/jamiec/Invaders%2009/

2:05 AM - Haunted Mansion 3-D (Duke Nukem level) (posted by Allen )
I've had a few e-mails lately asking for the link to the "Haunted Mansion 3-D" Duke Nukem level site. Here it is: http://www.geocities.com/colosseum/5732/hm3dindx.htm

10:02 PM - Should I host other people's photos? (posted by Allen )
I occassionally get e-mail from someone saying they would send me photos from their trip. I have always declined for several reasons. The main one is that unless I took the photo myself I cannot gaurantee where it came from. Most of you know how I feel about using photos without permission.

Recently, Michael S. wrote me a very pleasent e-mail and offered to share his growing collection of Florida park photos (several thousands). After the tragedies of September 11th, he found an escape from the daily media by visiting the Orlando theme parks. He sent me a sample of images from Universal Studios (including the new Men in Black attraction).

My question is: Should this site expand the photo albums by including submissions from others? Post a comment and let me know what you think...
