Good vs bad engineering

Good:

if (already_reset) {
    say "sorry, you've already reset before";
    exit;
}
if (have_cart || weight > 0 ...) {
    say "i can't reset your skills if you have a falcon, cart, ...";
    exit;
}

Bad:

if (have_cart || weight > 0 ...) {
    say "i can't reset your skills if you have a falcon, cart, ...";
    exit;
}
if (already_reset) {
    say "sorry, you've already reset before. i hope you enjoyed "
        "putting everything into storage and npcing all your mercenary "
        "scrolls as much as you're going to enjoy spending the next ten "
        "minutes getting your cart back and trying to remember exactly "
        "which and how many of each item you had--all for NOTHING."
        "oh, and have fun doing this 50 more times!";
    exit;
}

The time I got banned for “botting”

May 2008

There was a double exp event. I was soloing a high priest at anubises with TU using borrowed gear. Some details of my setup: I had my mouse’s “back” button bound to the “enter, enter, f9” key sequence and the “forward” button bound to “down, down, enter, enter.” Continue reading

Upgrade calcs “fixed”

I guess the upgrade calculators haven’t been working for anyone else during the past three weeks or so, since they were sourcing jQuery from a path that I’d made private. It’s a shame no one reported it, so I only realized this during an epiphany on the way home today. Sigh…

Branches still abusable

Last month I decided to humor the GMs by reporting a mostly harmless bug. I reported it in public because I believe in transparency and because I didn’t want them just to ignore me or pretend the “bug” didn’t exist as they’ve done in the past. (This is why I stopped reporting bugs.)

Potting service announcement

Not that anyone cares (or reads this at all), but I’ll probably start potting again in … let’s say two weeks.
