Count Floyd's New Year's Resolution

Posted by The Oracle at 03:19 2/1/2003.

Count Floyd, the creator of the insanely popular Pod Bot has just updated his site with some interesting information about his future plans, and the future of his 3 year old project, the Ping of Death Bot. Here's some of what he said at his site:
Anyway, there has been a long quiet period without any news for the simple reason that I wasn't even online - this will change again from now on. Currently I'm preparing the POD-Bot Source for a public release so you guys have something to tinker with. Yes, you heard me right...I'm opening up the sources to everybody.
This doesn't mean I'm tired of developing a Bot or that I'm sick of POD-Bot. I just want to start from scratch again to be able to try out new things which I probably couldn't have done within the hardcoded, limited environment of the existing Bot. I've already started with the new unnamed Bot and so far things are looking good. I can't tell how long it takes for a new release but reading these pages and the forum will keep you informed.
Well, that's good news for any programmers that have been itching to get their hands on the Pod Bot source code. Here's your chance, guys. Best of luck to Count Floyd on his new "unnamed bot" project.

Update: You can now download the source code here.

No arrests were immediately made and the injuries were not considered life-threatening, Officer Jason Lee said.

I can't believe how ungrateful some of you lot are. No-one's forcing you to read it, so stop moaning ffs. IMO any news is better than the site going for days upon end without any updates whilst nothing's going on in the clan scene. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

19:37 2/1/2003
Alpha : cos of the lack of any news in the clan scene people get bored, to let out their boredom on the other new posts, like new skins and bots etc, and everyone else is scared to post them, just oracle :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Could happen. If you leave OMG! for long enough, maybe they will get to that stage when they NEED b0p for omg.cs.

For you whiny buggers: If you don't like what's being posted, tough. Some of you seem to think that UKT only posts UK clan news, which is wrong. Admittedly, we have gone down that route with most of our news postings, but that doesn't mean we dont cover general CS, mapping, skins, articles, etc.

That's why we're here after all. You'll still get clan news obviously, but if someone posts something you're not interested in, please give it a rest. If you must criticize, then at least keep it semi-constructive...abusive crap will get you no where, except maybe banned. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You know, I find that quite ironic that you say 'no one reads it' when, in fact, you take the time not only to read it but also spend quite a bit of time flaming me and others in these comments...

And the last time I checked, shads did not represent the entire UK CS community, so making an unfounded statement such as that only further shows the amount of ignorance you posses. Good day :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

well said oracle, and even though alot of the stuff that is posted on here i couldnt care less with, eg. CPL, i dont go around shouting my head off and saying 'take this f***ing s*** off oracle is bollocks etc etc'
i say let shads and iron post news, and see what they can come up with. imo oracle works hard to look for news that people might actually be interested in, then you sit there and say 'why post this load of s***'

lol i only come to ukt for the comments, some shít is so funny to read.

this isn't a bad article respectively, so i dunno why people knock it. it's just stuff like posting about clan Trippy recruiting and since Oracle is a friend (?) uses ukt to advertise..

although it doesn't really interest me because if i'm going to play podbot i might as well connect to the german ogc server. :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
