You couldn’t find the playlist because, as I implied, it was actually not visible on my channel page. I do not know why when I make playlists they can’t be seen unless I manually add each of them. *sigh*

Vista and 7 don’t have telnet installed by default; You just have to select it in the add/remove equivalent. Then again, as stated, you can get plenty of other clients, including PuTTY (more known and better suited for SSH, but yes, it does telnet!). Also, my Gentoo systems actually tend to not have telnet installed on them until I actually have to use it.

Also, I just noticed none of my LP videos link to your site. Whoops! Gonna fix that now.

Wow, an operating system without telnet? That’s a strange idea. What harm would come of having such a standard program included in an operating system?

Unless you’re in windows 7. Windows 7 does not have telnet in it. No lie. You can download several telnet programs, tho, that may or may not work. If not I’m sure a solution is forthcoming.

Yeah, the BBS is really cool. I can’t use it in a web browser though, all my text I type ends up as nonsense for some reason. Using plain ol’ telnet works fine, so if I want to use it I need to start a terminal. No big trouble since I always keep one open.

Yes, you did say to use the playlist, but being the bonehead that I am I could not find them at the time. The link has been updated.

And glad you like the BBS. Oh, I’m old school.

I just found the BBS link at the top. Awesomeness, they’re still around. My brother used to operate a BBS…

K-e-i-l-a-r-o-n. ;)
Also, I think I mentioned this, but you probably want to link to the playlist instead (or additionally):

I didn’t realize I had to add all my playlists to my channel manually. I also don’t know how Youtube expects people to link to playlists with their new (and horribly broken) AJAX-only channel layout.

I watched the video about how you made the portals before I read this article. I l liked it. I didn’t realize that it would only take basic algebra to make them, though I figured it wasn’t excessively complicated (then again, if I recall correctly, the way portals are made in the original Portal isn’t all that fancy either).

Just a guess, but TAWS might run under Wine.
