I saw your post on reddit, and wanted to stop by here to say congrats on winning the Google AI challenge!

Keep on truckin' guys

(I quit a long time ago, though I keep tabs on what's going on from time to time - I don't think I could talk my girlfriend into joining though, she isn't into spaceships and I think VO is a little difficult for her. Keep hanging in there!)

Ah the days of ascii art, before all this multi-media crap corrupted the Internet and perverted its soul.

/me remembers when 'multi-media' was the buzz word of techy stuff.

/me remembers it taking 45 minutes on dialup to download porn

/me is old

/me is very old

*sigh*

I assume grats, but without anything more than the image I'm not sure what for. So grats on a nice piece of ascii art that appears to use bits of code.

I edited relevant links into the top post, should be more self explanatory now.

If I remember right, one of the old server outages was caused by one of the VO devs backing a dump truck into the VO offices by accident.

Ah! That makes more sense! The scary part is that I think I understood most of a1kOn's explanation. Absolutely fascinating!

Hmm, so he's working for Yahoo now.

Oh, did he move on? I guess I haven't been keeping such close tabs after all. I saw the yahoo thing, but wasn't sure if he was working a 2nd job or something.

That might be it, but I haven't seen any sign of him for a very long time. Perhaps the Yahoo job is more flexible so he can spend more time with his family.
