Stalking Our Visitors Via Traceroute
This reminds me - when we got a comment from one of the guys that worked on Guitar Hero II (in response to an apocalyptic comment from me), I was like "Yeah, whatever. It's not Dan @ Harmonix, it's just some dude." But I got all traceroute on his IP address and sure enough we was writing from Harmonix.
And - BONUS - the gentleman that messaged us worked on some of my favorite games, has done some interactive fiction, and kept a book diary of everything that he reads.
After poking around his website, I was actually pretty flattered that he wandered over to our website to give me the business.
Thanks for setting me straight, Dan @ Harmonix!
and to expand the shrinking world, I actually know this guy previously/virtually. When I was more active in interactive fiction, Dan Schmidt was one of the constant names on RAIF usenet group. Also, on his website he gives one of my "games" a 1 out of 10. Thanks.

Four empty rooms, and a bug that puts me in an unwinnable state when I try to enter the door.

oh, also, my orig. screenshot of the visualtracert was named stalker.bmp
I once made a game in hypercard on Mac OS 6. It even had easter eggs in it. The idea was that you entered this house where every room took you to a different moment in time/history. I don't thin I finished it, but I did have fun working with it at age 13.
