It only took a decade or so, but it’s back. Also, a crazy good file archive that is more up-to-date can be found here.

A recent request for some old audio has reminded me of some archives I have that I’ve never posted. I captured the audio streams of some old internet radio broadcasts regarding Trade Wars.   Here they are… WEJL – Host: Soul, Guest: Space Ghost WEJL – Host: Soul, Guest: Gypsy WEJL – Host Soul, Guest: Big […]

… back in August!  I forgot all about it.  Not many websites out there can lay claim to being online for 20 years, but this site can.   No one really comes here anymore, since I don’t post (and there are no players).  This site is barely getting 30-50 visitors a day.  I expect over the […]

First post in three years!  After nary a picture of JP in all these years, now we have a video!

Make a look-alike bash prompt for Linux by adding this line of text to the end of your /home/username/.bashrc file… PS1=”\n\[\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\]Command [\[\e[33;1m\]TL=\T\[\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\]]:[\[\e[36;1m\]\!\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\]] (\[\e[33;1m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\])? : \[\e[37;1m\]” Save, logout and then log back in.  Tada.  Your prompt now looks like this… Here is what the prompt contains… Command [TL=<TIME>]:[<COMMAND HISTORY #>] (<CURRENT DIRECTORY>)? : It’s actually useful.  […]

This was originally posted by Cogwheel at ClassicTW.com.  Please note the server pointed out is no longer active. For those of you already using PuTTY, I have released a modified version (source) which adds a configuration option to return the cursor to the top left after a clear screen (Settings->Terminal->Clear screen homes cursor). TradeWars’ ANSI […]

Just renewed the domain for 5 years.  I doubt I’ll ever let this site die after 11 years or so already.  It’s older than my oldest child, for goodness sakes.
