I used to be one of the top ranked Quake2 players at msngamingzone a long while back. I also had a fairly popular counterstrike server. Thats about it.

I've been on the news before, maybe there is a clip somewhere online?

For awhile my baseball blog was getting 1000+ hits a day, and we got mentioned in some NJ newspaper. That was like 3 years ago though, and the baseball blog never gets updated anymore.

I named the GeForce line of cards - won a contest in the process and got one of the first GeForce prototypes.

I once won a temp TotalFARK subscription for making a TotalFARKER laugh harder than anyone else had that night. It was the night the Deep Impact probe hit that comet, and I commented,"That one was for the dinosaurs, Biatch!" Hmm, yeah...

I'm admin/owner of a private bit torrent tracker for a 2nd rate radio show. It has fans and that's all that matters. We also share shows from earlier in the host's career. We're small because we're private.

I'm also a moderator on a very popular tracker for another radio show.

When I was a kid I wrote a bunch of small win32 programs that were prank related. Like one was a console session but whatever you type in it would spell out "format c:" and then it would "format" the hard drive . It had other pranks like error message programs and such. Most of this stuff was meant to shove in someone's startup folder or what not. Very basic programs.

On April 2nd I noticed my tripod site was out of bandwidth, then realized that program made it on sites like cnet news, msn's home page, CNN etc....

It reached about 60,000 downloads on download.com before tripod pulled the plug on my site. This probably happened in a few hours on april 1st from people searching for computer pranks to pull off.

This was way before I had my own real hosting and such so it came to a dead stop fairly quick but it was pretty cool to see my kit of programs become so popular for a few days.
