Do you ever get asked what you did at work today...?

How about writing the "ping" program..?

The Story of the PING Program

 

It's sad but I like it...

 

I've been very lucky in my IT career and always been a step or two ahead of the general population but I can't ever imagine that anything I do or produce will have any impact on anyone, let alone the impact or longevity of that one.

 

Why is ping a 1000 lines of code tho, back in my day i wrote fancy amiga demo's in a few hundred lines, ah, you gotta love assembly, or maybe not, it was a bitch, but small and fast

 

ah, playing with copper, agnus and denise in 68k assembler

Were you a K-SEKA, ARGASM or DEVPAC kind of guy ?

 

Devpac all the way

genam2, yay
