Programming Printers

OH man, this is how it started... ready for this...
-
He has since learned to hate Google.
-
Good to know we have an IT basass with a BBS login still.
-
And boom he lowers the hammer.... on himself....

Programmed a printer... via telnet... because the GUI as too slow? That implies not only that you can program that device (you can't) but that there is a programming interface in the GUI!!

Well you're programming this site when you type in the box at the bottom right?

Been waiting most of a decade for the promised video on this one. Many an empty promise of proof from Curtis that has never come to fruition. He always gets mad and says we didn't do something he demanded so no proof for us. As if it hurts us that he looks foolish.
-
OMG I forgot how good this stuff was. Offix.com is going to love reading this.
-
Remember, he ACTUALLY said that he programmed his oven, too.
-
He's right here, my answers WILL be posted to another forum...

But he did, he programmed the clock to the correct time of course...
-
So finally, seven years after his big thread, my answers are finally posted to "another" forum, as if the millions of readers of the one at that time were not enough. So to make good on his promise, I'm posting my answers here, most of a decade later.
-
I miss b0b, haven't seen him in a while.
-
Then comes the big that I posted first... then the wrap up...
-
And then finally...
-
Now we have it backed up in another location for posterity. We'd hate people not to have a record of that one.

Damn where was I when all that was going down?

Pretty sure I was at SW then, not positive though.

The thread didn't have all that many people in it. It was Viperluke getting email help. But Curtis went bananas about telnet and BBS systems and programming printers and programming ovens. This was the second worst breakdown that he had that I recall. The worst was the "Internet invented in 1998, I was there" thread that is much harder to find. He's had so many like these over the years, but getting him to SAY that he's a programmer because he sets the time on the oven is what really, really ends it all.
