Errr, no. I always try to avoid volunteering for anything. :)
Been running it again, but the four triangular flaps are never facing directly outwards. It must have to go through x cycles before that happens - then you get that effect, presumably. I suppose we could find out from the source code. |
Y'all might be waiting a LONG, long, long, long time. It only happened for me after a few years of using the saver!

Well, I'm definitely not staying awake for years staring at my monitor. Even my craziness has limits. :D

Got a reply!! This is deeeep:
:confused: So, I heard back from the author of 'Lament' today, as follows:
From: Jamie Zawinski <---> Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:50:38 -0300 This message is not encrypted, and is not digitally signed. Quote:

Is it a quote from the film/book?
|
|
Looks like a quote from Helraiser II.

Haha, I'd say that means the author is a clever bastard and probably gets an email like this every month or so. Enjoy your Easter egg. :)

Slackraiser: Slackware 13 (2009)
Slackraiser: Slackware 13 (2009)
PatV: Your suffering will be legendary, even on LQ! PatV: Ah, no more CD box-sets, Sasha? BrianL: No more teasing, Sasha, it's time to play. PatV: Time to play... Sasha: Wait! PatV: No more deals child, it is your flesh we want to experience, not your skill at bargaining. Sasha: No deals, just information, just information! PatV: Go on... but trick us again child, and your suffering will be legendary even on LQ! PatV: [Sasha hands PatV a picture of Nylex] What's this?... [looks at picture] PatV: Someone else you think escaped us, like Sycamorex? Sasha: He didn't escape, he's you! PatV: [pauses] Nonsense, I... Sasha: It is you! You weren't always this way, you were Sycamorex once. You were all human! Remember your fear, your confusion! BrianL: Enough! PatV: [to BrianL] Wait!... I remember... PatV: Ah, Sasha. We thought we lost you. BrianL: So sweet of you to come back. PatV: How can Slackware 13 send us back, child? It's almost here... and so are you! [PatV transforms Slackware 12.2 into Slackware 13] Sasha: I didn't open the CD box-set! BrianL: "Didn't open the box-set." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box-set was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we? PatV: Oh, Sasha. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. BrianL: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Sasha: I've come for my copy of Slackware 13! [the Slackware developers laugh at that] PatV: But it is in limbo, child, and quite unreachable. Sasha: I don't believe you! PatV: But it's true. It is in limbo, just as you are on LQ! Sasha: And what about you? PatV: We have no more surprises. BrianL: We've always been here. PatV: But please, feel free, explore. We have eternity to dangle Slackware 13 before you. PatV: It is not hands that summon us. It is desire for Slackware 13! |
Very good, Sasha. Clever stuff. :hattip:
|
Thank you :) -- does this mean I'm insane!??! Or just restless....
|
Possibly both. :)
|
Hey, Sasha, I've been looking at that quotes page again and just realised you've made me the female Cenobite. Cheeky!
|
LOL -- Cheeky indeed!
I couldn't figure out who (else) might be female here, and be so relevant to the "Big Fun Sweepstakes.." situation, so I figured you would fit the bill!! :) |
I'll forgive you. I'd have to shave my beard off if I started cross-dressing.
