what happened to one of the first users, xsphalt?

Time kills the hobby for a lot of people. Even I just mainly lurk now.
Same. That and the hobby can be a money pit.

What happened to rowdy?  He used to post so much ...

Oh wait, he's just made a few posts.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Did anyone ever hear from Soarer? It's been a few years now and it appears that the answer to that is "no".

I'm not aware that he has resurfaced. He was a regular in the IRC channel until all of a sudden he wasn't one day. I was just asking the same question as you a few days ago there, actually.

Many of us have a tendency to drift from one hobby to another, never really abandoning them, just sort of putting them on hold for a while. I suspect (and hope) that's what happened to him.

Another I've wondered about is dw_junon. Old school Geekhacker from way back.

He seemed to be gearing up to release his source code, which would have been fantastic, but he never did.

If he was not bushwhacked unexpectedly, I think that he might have done so.
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

I met him and his GF when he came by my place to pick up a keeb he let me borrow.  Haven't heard from him since.

The Next generation is projected to have a reduced lifespan vs their parents.

This is a first..

So... Soyboys are the saviors, albeit a little effeminate..



We have to be careful how we "Define" quality of life..

Is the Life of a Drug addict, Quality of life, Even though he experiences 1600% the chemical happiness compared to a normal person,  but his life burns out ~age 40..


Is the Life of an Obese Food addict, Quality of life, even though he experiences 133% the chemical happiness compared to a normal person, but his life burns out ~age 65

These are real dopamine percentages and life expectancy numbers.

If anything... The Heroin addict has a better life.. if BEING HAPPY with the least effort is all we measured.

Keep in mind though that most drug addicts spent at least part of their time not being high, and wanting to be. Considering how that effects their brains chemically and their bodies physically, that's probably significantly less fun than living a boring 80+ years-long drug-free life.

It's difficult to quantify the experience..

But overall,  my point is,  if the _feeling_ of happiness, was the ONLY optimization we did with our lives..

Then that would put the Order something like 

Heroin Addicts/
Smokers/
Alcoholics/
Secs Addicts/
Obese Food Addicts/
Overweight people/
Normal weight people/
Vegans/

Yea totes.. !!

Which is akin to Diabetic foot amputations , Heart attacks, Catheters, Colostomy bags, Mastectomies, Vasectomies, Hysterectomy,  and then some..

So you see.. The price for Quality of life via Food-ism is not so straightforward. hahahaha

I miss them too man.

Naasfu and atlas still lurk iirc. Jokrik is busy with life and focusing on his family. Nubbs left though which really hurt to see

Nubbs is one of the better Geekhackers around. What happened to cause his departure? Was there an argument or something?
