I loved AK Dewdney's columns. The Core War [1] columns influenced me profoundly. Would love to see the mandelbrot printout scans :) [1] http://www.koth.org/in

- fractallyte 12y agoOK, just off the scanner: http://imgur.com/gallery/8z7zP http://imgur.com/gallery/8z7zP Generated with a Commodore 64, output on an Epson RX80 dot matrix printer, circa 1986. All coding credit to my genius brother!
- guru_meditation 12y agoGorgeous! :)
- dang 12y agoAbsolutely marvelous. Do you and your genius brother still write code?
- dansari 12y agoThanks for posting this fractallyte! We're separated by an ocean, so I'm glad I can see this digitised. To answer you dang (first, I don't consider myself that), I work as a consultant currently writing C#/.NET code for a large corporation. But hopefully one of my side projects (using various other technology stacks) will pan out one day, and I'll be able to escape, like many of us here dream about (and many have already achieved) :)
- dang 12y agoI hope you do and also that you continue to participate on Hacker News. Between kens outdoing himself with the wonderful OP, and all the other historical contributions here, this has my vote for the best HN thread in quite a while.
