Title: TI-Connect alternate startup (Omnimaga-themed)
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 25, 2010, 04:15:49 pm
Before Alex10819 became a troll, he was active around here for a while and he did the following program. It's an alternate TI-Connect startup screen. Nothing special and the images are kinda broken, but I guess some people may find it cool anyway :P

It dates back in mid 2005 and was hacked by him.

Yay for archive.org

This looks pretty nice!

I will have to try this soon to see what it looks like. :)

Well basically just the startup portion of TI Connect is different. Everything else is the same. You can easily see how 2005 it is, though, with all the Reuben sprites ;D

Hmmm, interesting. I can't help but wonder what made him troll.... He was rather rude to me when I first joined cemetech. To the point where I was almost scared away :(

No clue. He was sometimes rude long before things went downhill, but then it went worse. He left Omni due to lack of interests towards calcs but trouble started  a year later where he caused trouble on CalcHaven. Later he slowly became worse again and trolled Cemetech (and spammed here). No clue what happened. Sadly, that happens with certain people.

Pretty cool, I didn't know Alex was ever... into calculators...

Either way, very nice!  I might switch this to my main TI-Connect .exe :P

I think he was active into them in early 2005 but he never got much into coding. He gave up and moved to other stuff. He did calc stuff a few years later once, though, for some musical project.

Hahaha, that's pretty awesome.

The only real interaction I ever had with Alex was him randomly taking my name on #cemetech a couple months ago. That was the first, and the last time I ever talked to him. o.O

Didn't he reply to one of your old Cemetech posts back then? I think those are gone, though. You ranted at some people there and he replied with a mirror of the following text: http://me.beska.net/w/

I'm glad Cemetech changed a lot now, at least x.x. It used to be mass chaos. The only times where it has been mass chaos since the Jatol incident are during March-April 2009 and the first month the Freebuild forums were added, January 2010. Now it may be due to the fact half of the userbase is from Omnimaga, though :P

It is sad that some people changes from ok people or even nice people only to become some of the worst, though x.x.
