As far as serious work goes, I only got as far as really simple stuff to take care of the quadratic formula, etc. I was all about the text adventure back then (slow, memory-leaking DrugWars-style game, but people liked it!).

If you stop doing what makes you feel alive, you will die. Making a huge deal or saving/earning a ton of money are some of the most exciting things you can do, as long as you don't lose perspective. What can I say, I'm a shameless capitalis
