Chris Shiflett, 2600, and 7 DAMN years
Topic: Miscellaneous 12:54 am EST, Nov 25, 2008

I was digging through a boxes of books that I had not unpacked since the move to the new house and discovered a cache of old 2600 magazines. One of the first ones I saw was 2600 Vol 18 Issue 3 from Fall 2001.

Here unedited, was my thought process:

-wow, that guy looks familiar
-wait, isn't that Dimitri? that crypo guy?
-wait, didn't I write an article for this issue? [opens 2600]
-yep, "Deconstructing a Fortres" the first article [reads alittle]
-man I remember this. I hacked Tech's library systems so I could play Quake while skipping Calc in Skiles. That was awesome!
-wait, didn't I end up in the square root club that semester?
-[sigh]... damn georgia tech ... ... damn attention span
-wow this article reads like I talk: fast and frantic and overly verbose
-HA! awesome, implementing 16bit integers in TI-Basic
-Hmm, I wonder what happened to Amatus? [google]
-holy shit! haha, That right, now I remeber, that's how I met Lucky!
-damn, this article is pretty long
-sweet. the next article is about hacking Microsoft's passport.
-Man, in 2001 I was all hardware. Did I even know what an HTTP cookie was?
-wait, who wrote this. Holy shit, Chris Shiflett!
-k2labs? does that even still exist? [googles]
-wow, a those turkish translations?
-... ... ... oh crap. this is from 2001. That was over 7 years ago.
-... ... fuck, I'm getting old.
