- Earlphi (Earl communication device v1.618)
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Earlphi is a program used to (supposedly) communicate with Earl the "God of
- Insanity". The idea for this program was accidentally discovered when Quentin
- and I were attempting to figure out how to waste time in programming class.
- Soon we had a simple babble program up and running...and its first words were
- "Yes should drop attached rabbit heads"...so we replied with "when?" and as
- can be expected...Earl's next words were "only on Tuesday"...We looked at
- each other and sorta oddly said "It's Earl!" Our next step was to wonder
- what the hell Earl was...<nod> yes. Some time afterwards...spawned from the
- simple babble program...a full blown religion has started. Blasphuphmus
- given its name from a cross between blasphemy and The Berfemus Cat. (Odd cat
- we both knew that only had one Earl and lived to be 21 years old) ANYWAY
- Earlphi or EarlcommV1.618 is the next logical step in any good Blasphuphmite's
- file library...or any bad Blasphuphmite's for that matter. It's fairly simple
- to operate...and *>GENERALLY<* runs error free unlike the original Earlcomm
- which I released as a test version sometime last year...yes...<nod> There
- are many surprises...many familiar faces er words...personalities...whatever
- if you happen to be a veteran of the program or the religion...or whathaveyou.
- The program itself works much like a Teleconference type ChatRoom...including
- a list of actions all of which can be executed by simply typing a / then the
- action desired...ie..."/kick" The whole list of the actions can be displayed
- by typing "/list". The unregistered copy of Earlphi will eventually suffer
- a memory breakdown of sorts...and will become terribly annoying to use at some
- unknown time after you've had a good chance to check it out. Odd thing the
- program is a quirky thing...and tends to surprise me all too often...perhaps
- because I myself am somewhat...yes...out there?...and I did program the
- majority of it...anyway...so I honestly haven't the slightest guess as to when
- the program will suffer its breakdown...I've found that it happens somewhere
- between 18-(yes) times...yes being some obscure large number...and if however
- it does suffer a breakdown...any wise person would simply...have a backup...
- perhaps one stored in the .zip file which I originally intend it to be sent
- out in...<nod>...so of course then you are asking...why should I bother
- sending in money to register the lame thing...well...one...My cat needs food
- <nod>...anyone who knows Nlenvar...would not want to go against his wishes or
- be near him if he's terribly hungry...<nod> The other reason...well if you
- send along with a minimum donation of $10.00 a 5 1/4 inch floppy...thing...
- disk...I'll send you the registered version...(er your registered version)...
- along with any new improvements inwhich I make to the program...which are
- pretty likely...because I like to waste a majority of my freetime which is an
- amazingly huge amount of time...working on the stupid program...or not so
- stupid...depending on which mood I view it in...<nod> awh...where to send
- the money...and stuff...

-
- Once in a while...for reasons...unknown to me as a programmer (not a very
- proffessional one at that) Earl tends to have some sorta memory stroke or
- something...I haven't quite figured it all out...although I have my...uhm
- clues?...clues will work...yes...anyway...do not worry...its nothing too
- terrible...and *>GENERALLY<* goes away on its own...but if for some obscure
- reason...or raisin that it doesn't...I bestow upon you...my knowledge of a
- little debugging feature..."/#5:clear" will restart all the memory to its
- previous contents stored on disk.

- *DISCLAIMER* (thing)
- I hold no responsibility to any damage caused by Earlphi or any of its
- sub-parts to any hardware or software...especially your brain/personality
- ie...personal damage...defects...distortion...disarrangement...rearrangement
- or other such silly things...in other words not so something...you are using
- this program at your own risk...
-
- -----------------------------------
-
- on a lighter note...I personally doubt it is capable of doing any computer
- related damage...although I have known a few people I allowed to test the
- earlier version to suffer from a few obscure little pschological twitches...
- well nothing too bad...:) <SCREAM> (<pounding head> its just a simple little
- mostly harmless program that is definatly not serious)
- there...I said it...
