Four Island

Maze of Life is fun.

Yes, but you're running out of poll ideas. - 4 vote(s)! NO MY FACE IS HAPPY - 1 vote(s)! Catfood is yummy - 3 vote(s)! Indifferent (Or scared) - 0 vote(s)!

This is odd. Every poll after the Facebook one seems to say "I like facebook" in the description. It's odd. And I can't think. Hai thar! Omegle is yes!

I like Facebook. YES LIKE OMG CATFOOD! - 9 vote(s)!

No - 0 vote(s)! I was too surprised that the above answer was sane to actually remember the question - 3 vote(s)! Indifferent - 0 vote(s)!

I'm sorry for forgetting to update! DoN'T KileD me DS!!!!FSD catfood Sorry, I just feel sick. :(

Twitter. People seem to like it. I did, I got everyone addicted! :D Let's see what THE PEOPLE think:

YESSS LIKE A TRUCK - 6 vote(s)! It is platitudinous - 2 vote(s)! I might if-WHO ARE YOU???? - 1 vote(s)! Indifferent - 1 vote(s)!

Yes, Twitter is fun. Oooh, but now I'm addicted to Facebook! Hence this week's poll! :)

Haiiii, this is the puzzle game I've been ranting about. It's a very simple idea, but (in my opinion), very addicting. :) Every level is a randomly generated maze, but the key is, the maze can change depending on where you are in it. This makes it difficult to see the right way to the goal, which is the blue block in the middle.

Also, after every ten levels the game gets harder. The first ten are pretty easy, but it soon gets harder. The color scheme changes every ten levels, too, just so you know why everything becomes red on level 10. :)

Last thing (I think), when you get stuck and are unable to get to the goal of a level, press escape to return to level one and start over. :)

So, now that I've rephrased my email to Blue, let me post the download link! Click here to download Maze Of Life! If you find any troubles with the game, please feel free to tell me! :)

Oh, wanted to know some scores you might want to beat? Okay, my highscore is 37. :) Sounds good, but here's the scary thing: My brother's highscore is 42. Please beat that! :)

Like YAY! Four Island's finally back! Sorry about the extended downtime, I'm sorry! But at least we're back up!

Wow, this post was incredibly short. So, to make it longer, I'll explain why it was down for so long. Since we moved, we had to get a new account at our ISP, which had a different username. Since it was new, I had to re-open port 80, but we kept logging into the ISP's website with the old account, which didn't work. Oops! :)

Anyway, YAY IT'S BACK LIKE KAYAYZIE WOMBAT! ....kay

Ozzyfrog: and he didn't mention a rock
Drifty: Apparently TimTam is dependant on his rock
Ozzyfrog: lol
Ozzyfrog: why the phone number?
Drifty: Anyway, Pyro wants TimTam's phone number
Ozzyfrog: How will that help?
Drifty: Pyro is telling Smiley all about the rock story
Ozzyfrog: what is the rock story?
Drifty: That TimTam has a rock that we need to give back to him...
Drifty: and he will melt if he doesnt get it

....hai? :)

* Girl Without Slipper is listening to Should've Said No by Taylor Swift

Wow! Irregular percentages! I'm loving this! :) And wow, you people seem to like Pillowcase! Goodness, that's a sign that I should start working on it again....

A Pillowcase! - 3 vote(s)! A newspaper with fake stories! - 2 vote(s)! Sabrina DVDs! - 1 vote(s)! Fourie! - 2 vote(s)!

And, I'm sorry, we're still going to be down for a while, even though we're up now. Sorry :(

I'm sorry to announce that because I am moving, Four Island will go down some time tomorrow. It is unknown when it will come back up, but I hope it will be soon. :)

Now, even I feel this sounds waaaaaay too familiar. However, last year's downtime fiasco should not be repeated, as I am only moving two blocks, rather than two hemispheres. :)

Also, I mention this because I am sure someone will think of it, THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS DAY JOKE. I'm sorry I forgot to announce it until today, but IT IS NOT A JOKE. Four Island WILL go down tomorrow. Thank you for your time. :) :(

YAY FOR TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! goes insane I'm happy for everyone who voted "OMG YES" because, well, you're super! :) And for those %19 evil people, eat a cheese block. :)

OMG YES - 9 vote(s)! No, 'cause I'm evil - 4 vote(s)! She's okaaaaaaaay - 6 vote(s)! Indifferent - 2 vote(s)!

Yes, I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift. Get used to it. :) Also, there are some funny quotes in the archive to do with Tay, like Valley Girl, Fangirls and Go To Sleep Or Else. :) Reaaad!

And this week's poll is shamelessly stolen from Drifty again! Here is the fourm topic. I has no imagination sometimes. YAY CHEZ. :)

And, wow, I posted a few times this week! WOOO! I hope I can do that again because posting is FUN! :)

Oh no, Starla's going to rant again. :) Yes, I've come up with another little mini-rant, this time about "Posting for the sake of posting."

The other day, I was reading a Yahoo! Answers topic called "What were typical foods and drinks in the 16th century?". Most of the answers were helpful, but scrolling down, I found one from "Virgina J" that simply said "WINE I DUNNO". ....if you don't know the answer, then why are you posting?

Spamming, or more specifically, post-count ballooning, is annoying. It, by definition, doesn't help the conversation or topic where it's posted. Pointless posting is a nuisance, mainly propagated by people who want a high post count. I is eating cheeze.

This sort of links in with my "Should I disable post incrementing on A Deck Of Cards" debate. Most fourm games are just so you can post and have fun doing so. Can you say "I LUV 2 BALLO0N MI P0ST COUNT"? I thought so.

Anyway, yes, I'm random. And I finally made that "rant" tag. :)

I love how conversations, or even trains of thought, can go off on random tangents that end up somewhere completely different from where you began. For instance, this morning, I was bored and wanted to do something interesting having to do with a microblog (Automattic's new P2 Wordpress theme is really cool :) ), but I ended up writing an obfuscated C program that calculates a value of Phi. :)

First, I randomly searched Google for some interesting specialized themes, like P2, that could be useful. I found some that emulated Tumblelog, something I've wanted to recently. However, I had no clue what to do with my tumblelog, so I searched for it on Wikipedia and found that the name "Tumblelog" was coined by "why the lucky stiff". That name sounded familiar, so I looked into it by clicking on the link to his Wikipedia page.

Okay, maybe I'm easily sidetracked. :) Anyway, it turned out that he wrote "Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby", which I used when I was learning Ruby. I clicked on the link to his website, for some reason, and was instantly greeted by his latest blog post, something to do with Hello World programs.

Being kind of random, I clicked the link in the post and found a collection of Hello World programs in different languages. I searched for some of the languages I knew, and eventually I found PHP's. Near PHP's was a language called Piet, which drew my attention because it was a graphical language, not a text language. By graphical, I mean that the source code is actually an image, not some text. Those are always interesting. :)

Anyway, I looked around and found some more pretty programs written in Piet, one of them called JAPH. It had no explanation of what it did, and it didn't execute properly on my computer, so I clicked on the link and found myself at a Wikipedia page called Just another Perl hacker.

Apparently JAPH is a meme where you obfuscate Perl programs that say "Just another Perl hacker" and put them in your signature. I tested a few examples that were on the page and was astonished that they actually worked. Now, obfuscated code is fascinating, so I clicked on the "Obfuscated Code" Wikipedia page to find more examples, and even found a step-by-step guide to obfuscating code!

So, I just had to write an obfuscated program. I eventually decided on calculating the Fibbinocci sequence up to 100. It came out nicely and obfuscated, but I wanted more, so I changed it to calculate Phi (which was easy because I already had the Fibbinocci sequence).

Happy with my code, I looked at the tabs I had open in Firefox and suddenly realized that I had gone off on a MASSIVE tangent. I had completely forgotten what I had started out looking for, a fun microblog thing to do. Weird.

Anyway, I feel like I should post my obfuscated C program. This is for last week's poll's Phi-lovers. :)
