| 05:28 | <&McMartin> | Heh. Found another program published a year later than the one I was dissecting before; that one is more like 20 bytes long (though it doesn't let you interrogate character ROM) |
| 05:39 | | * ErikMesoy wrestles with questionable account recovery procedures. |
| 05:40 | <@ErikMesoy> | Me: "I tried to come back to this game after a year. It demanded I change new password, but the change didn't work. Please reset it properly and send a new one." Support: "Please provide lots of information to confirm your account ownership, like the first person you added on your friends list and the last ISP address you played from." |
| 05:41 | <@ErikMesoy> | Me: "It's been a year since I played, there is no way I can remember half that stuff. I have the signup date because I'm an email hoarder, but the rest, blah. Why are you asking for this? Can't you just issue a standard password reset to the account for security reasons?" |
| 05:41 | <@ErikMesoy> | Support: "This is in case the player is unable to access the associated email." |
| 05:42 | <@ErikMesoy> | Me: "But I can access the email just fine. As far as I know, the email I used to contact you is the same one that's registered to the account." |
| 05:43 | <@ErikMesoy> | Support: "Was your email account ever compromised?" |
| 05:43 | <@ErikMesoy> | ... |
| 05:46 | <@celticminstrel> | Uh... |
| 05:46 | <@ErikMesoy> | Yes. "Uh" is pretty much my response much of the way here too. |

| 11:40 | <@froztbyte> | McMartin: what are you busy poking at? |
| 11:42 | <&McMartin> | Like, right now, or wrt the programs I've been discussing dissecting most recently in the backlog? |

| 12:25 | <@froztbyte> | McMartin: the latter |
| 12:34 | <&McMartin> | I got a bunch of old articles and programs for the C64 from the old Compute! magazines. A lot of them were machine code programs and utilities presented as a series of decimal numbers to be POKEd into memory and then run. |
| 12:34 | <&McMartin> | I'm reverse-engineering them to see if they have any fun tricks I can learn, or if I've largely moved past them. |
| 12:34 | <&McMartin> | For the smaller ones, it looks like the latter, while some of the longer stuff are just full, multi-kilobyte apps, where reversing them is less likely to be educational. |
| 12:35 | <&McMartin> | The Amazing Wince-O-Tron is probably the biggest win result from my investigations, and that was the first thing I looked into. -_- |
| 12:36 | <&McMartin> | http://bumbershootsoft.wordpress.com/2014/04/29/colorchart-madness-part-1-analys is-and-refinement/ and then going forward documents that little trek. |
| 13:36 | <@froztbyte> | I see |

| 19:50 | <@ErikMesoy> | I would like to take a moment to pronounce a curse on those who use test servers as preview servers (rarely fixing any issues noticed on "test") and on those who use live servers as test servers ("oh, serious issues on live you say? we'd better look into the cause of that.") |
| 19:53 | <@Namegduf> | What is the curse specified to do? |
| 19:53 | <@ErikMesoy> | I'm still considering that. Got any appropriately karmic suggestions? I'm thinking that they should be prescribed untested supplements. |
| 19:54 | <@Namegduf> | Hmm. |
| 19:54 | <@Namegduf> | I'd say all their software should be untested alpha versions of everything, but that's not very distinguishable from the current state of affairs. |
| 19:55 | <@Namegduf> | Have it send all customer support queries to their mobile phone, all hours of the day, all days of the year. |
