| Preface I may take a while to respond to eemail sent to this account. If it's urgent, try my main account, General Wesc. As you are here, however, I may as well tell you stuff. Note that this profile is long and rambling. It was initially constructed for a profile contest where one category was 'longest'. It won. Contents Preface Contents General Wesc 101 Automation Programming Languages Operating Systems Instant Messenger Websites Wikipedia Schooling Music Web Design Sidenote Pets Contests Users Fan Club Awards GPG General Wesc 101 Firstly, I am General Wesc, former Moderator, former Plot Board Member, present Plot Writer. I first joined eCritters back in early 2002--I think it was February. It took me a while to become known as the omniscient Wesc, but after a fair bit of Sophism I managed to acquire fame and popularity. My real name is Luca Kaceem Butler Masters, and I use that in a number of places. I also sometimes go by my initials, which--as you may have guessed--are LKBM. At this point, some of you may be wondering what the initials LKBM stand for. In fact, I will probably get eemail from people who saw them here and want to know what they mean. Because of people like that, I developed quite a reputation as the supermean guy. I would call people stupid when they asked such questions. I would also give random people items. Later, however, eCritters filled with OwlManAtt and OMA wannabes who made me seem incredibly nice by comparison. Yay me! Automation Anyhoo. . .being lazy, I quickly tired of giving out items manually. For a while I would grab a huge number of item ids via View Source, regex the URIs to the give action, and manually add names as new user joined. Eventually I started using a Javascript to visit hundreds of the command URIs at once. But being really lazy, I still wasn't happy. I decided to put my ten years of programming experience to good use. Eventually, I developed a Perl script that would check for new users every five minutes, and send them an item. This was very useful, but still had a problem: I had to manually provide a list of item ids, and update that list every couple days. A trivial thing to fix, but I didn't for quite some time. Of course, this wasn't enough. On the old eCritters, large shops and large inventories were a major pain, as each item was listed separately in the shops and nothing was paginated. Stocking a 3000-item shop was unbearable. I had written some Perl scripts to help parsing multi-megabyte quickstock.phps. On the new eCritters, I wrote scripts to archive and delete my eemail when the page got too big (it wasn't paginated before). I wrote scripts to download entire forums (something I had also done with the old RR). I spent a lot of time at school--away from my autopelting abilities--so I started on a messaging system. This system has grown to include more and more stuff, but, ironically, still doesn't handle autopelting. In fact, it doesn't do much at all: * Heal all my pets on command (from before Strawhert Wands) * Make all the shopkeepers happy (from before Strawhert Wands) * Post to forums (experimental, not done) This script however, grew beyond messaging and autogiving. Vandalism on FAQs drove me to make a 'watchlist' function. This allows me to log (to a file or with eemail notification): * When people login and out * Someone's eem over time * Events in my other accounts (not yet implemented) Eventually, it will likely also include autohealing or auto-Strawhert Wanding, but there are issues with this: it would require giving a Wand to the user in question, using it, and giving it back. Hardly a safe process. Because the script is running on my 'General Wesk' account, that's where people generally send their thank yous and interrogations (y did u giv me a item?), so I also made the script forward any eemail (as well as all other events) sent there. These three functions (autogiving, watchlist, and messaging) are all run on General Wesk, though the script is named 'Commander Wesc'. Someday I may switch it to my Commander Wesc account. Someday. More recently, I've constructed a couple scripts running on my local server. These are the Forum Browser suite and the eC Tunnel. The Forum Browser is a pair of scripts, a server and a client. * The server continuously checks the eCritters forums for new topics or replies, archives them in a concise, unparsed (eeCode stored as eeCode) XML format, and logs the update to the changelog. This runs whenever I'm using eCritters, and sometimes when I'm not. * The client is activated whenever I follow a link on the changelog. It parses the XML archive (eeCode is parsed to HTML because Elinks doesn't support CSS), and the change is removed from the changelog. For a while, I was buying well over ten pages of items per day. Or maybe it was over a hundred pages. Anyway, I was buying a lot of stuff. Stocking things one page at a time was too slow. So I wrote an autostocker. At first it was all borky and wasn't stocking everything. Now it works properly, though it's still a bit bleh. It has the shops hardcoded (if($itemname eq "this"||$itemname eq "that||...) extending for over 3000 characters), but it beats doing it manually. I also modified this script to make a targetted autogiver. I tell it the user to give to, the item name, and the count. It's much neater because it doesn't have lame stuff hardcoded in, but it still has a few minor bugs. thankfully, these bugs haven't resulted in my giving away or discarding my Death Rock. Here's a (very) partial list of scripts I've written for eCritters: * Old eCritters eemail archiver * Old eCritters quickstock parser * Old eCritters shop parser * Old eCritters forum archiver * Autogiver for new users * Messaging system * Watchlist * Standalone login script * Event deleter * User converter (profile->XML) * Autostocker * Autogiver (n items of itemtype to specified user) * Item tester * Autopelter * Restock calculator * Extra eeCode Parser * Forum spammer * Forum browser (client, server) * Forum archive viewer * Forum post converter * Item giver * Desmilifier (for use during the 2005 April Fools Day smiley attack) * HTML->eeCode Translator (very simple) * recentlyonline.user.js - A Greasemonkey script to convert eCritters' Recently Online to the old version. * ecforums1.user.js - A Greasemonkey script to highlight/hide eCritters' forum topics by specified users. * eemail.user.js - Greasemonkey script to add checkbox deleting of eCritters' eeMail. * ec.forum.viewer.pl - View all forums at once. * ec.topic.search.pl - Search for topics by a given user. Languages My primary language has traditionally been C++, but I use Perl for scripting a lot. I have limited experience or better in a fair number of languages (programming and markup): * C * C++ * Perl * Ruby * LISP * Scheme * Prolog * Astarte * C# * ColdFusion * Brainfuck * 8088 Assemby * SQL * QBasic * Javascript/ECMAscript * PHP * HTML * XHTML * CSS * XUL * Java But most of those I don't really know. I've merely written stuff in them. Operating Systems I mostly use Debian GNU/Linux, but I started out on DOS 2 (and Deskmate), later moving to DOS 6 with Windows 3.11, and eventually Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP Home, with a brief sidestep into OS/2 (3.2, I think). I've used Red Hat Linux, but Debian 0wnz. On school computers I've used NT 4, 2000 Pro, XP Pro, and Solaris 8. Instant Messenger I use Jabber. Through Jabber, I use the other major networks as well, but I prefer Jabber. You should too. Please consider downloading a Jabber client and trying it out. It will let you use AIM, MSN, YIM, and ICQ all in the same program, but it's even better if you can convert all your friends to Jabber and just use your Jabber ids. My favourite client is Psi, but myJabber is also nice if you use MS Windows. I actually mostly use Bitlbee these days. Jabber  /b] [email protected]AIM /b] genwescICQ /b] 704690YIM /b] genwescMSN /b] [email protected]Websites I have had a bunch of websites, but the only one who really need concern yourself with is Wescnet, my primary homepage. You may also wish to read my blog, but I don't post stuff there very often. Wikipedia I am an editor on the Wikipedia. I have accounts on at least ten different language Wikipedias, and have edited quite a few more, though usually only to add interlanguage links to connect articles in different languages about the same thing. Here's a list of most of me English Wikipedia edits. Schooling I recently graduated from East Carolina University. It's a party school, though I never party. I majored in computer science with a double major in philosophy. Interestingly, nearly ten percent of the philosophy majors at ECU are actually computer science majors doubling in philosophy. I was homeschooled up to college. Music I like a fairly wide variety of music, including Punk (old school, second wave, and some of the modern pop punk), industrial rock, a little techno, pop, musical scores, rock from 1950-today, and various other stuff. A few good bands: * KMFDM * ohGr and other KMFDM spin-offs. * Vandals * Anti-Flag (More) * Hanson * Offspring * Less Than Jake * Ataris * Misfits * Lord of the Rhymes * Donovan * Dr. Hook * The Beatles * Simon and Garfunkel * The Arrogant Worms * 'Weird Al' Yankovic Most bands just have a few really great songs that I like so a list of good songs would probably be more sensible than a list of bands. Only buy indie music. Web Design Standard web design is vital for our continued freedom and to protect accessibility to disabled users. That's why I use Galeon and Mozilla Firefox. Using Internet Explorer encourages sloppy, non-standard (and thus inaccessible) web design. By increasing the market share of Gecko-based web browsers I am showing web designers everywhere that accepted web standards need to be supported. It's also infinitely more secure than Internet Explorer. If you've ever had any spyware on your computer, IE was probably largely responsible. Here are some reasons to use a Gecko-based browser: * Better CSS level 1 and CSS level 2 support than Internet Explorer. * Better HTML 4.01 support than Internet Explorer. * Better DOM support than Internet Explorer. * Better PNG support than Internet Explorer. * Embedded pop-up blocking * Better (stronger and more configurable) privacy controls than Internet Explorer. * More adaptable user interface (via skins and CSS selectors) than Internet Explorer. * More Free * More cross-platform support * More secure (The United States Department of Homeland Security has issued an advisory recommending that you do not use Internet Explorer) Sidenote At one point in time, I had over 1 000 pages of items in my inventory. Then Leif accidentally deleted everyones inventory while I was on vacation. I now have many thousands (over 900 000) of items once again, and Leif has not backed up the database for a long while. Scary. Pets Here are my pets in my main account: Enteka: Corporation? Rochluinion: Elvish for 'Son of blue horse'.

I think my post (which was to eCG) was what finally prompted the creation of the Contet Forum. Less than a day after I posted my contest (still running, by the way), the Contest Forum was created, and my contest post was moved there and topped. It remained topped for many, many months. If you have any suggestions for contests I should run, send them along. after all, you're not going to be winning prizes from contests you run yourself.

(Though in actuality, people who get pissed off about not making the list would be more likely put on the 'petty fool' list.) Fan Club Everybody loves me. Except the many gowks who hate me instead. * LuckyStar (First marriage proposal; first obscessed fan) * A Secret Admirerer * General Wesc./General Wesc2 * Bruised (Occasionally says she hates me the least or something to that effect.) There was on group on old eCritters dedicated to me: General Wesc's Admirers. On the new eCritters, there have been two or three fan clubs made. Nightwolf278 made one. So did Aaronrules, I believe. Awards People love the Good General. Here are a few awards that have been given to me--usually to my primary account, General Wesc: 404ing Awards /b]http://img72.photobucket.com/albums/v218/zombieichi/Awards/zombieaward.bmp http://img73.photobucket.com/albums/v223/minoinette/cherry.jpg http://www.freewebs.com/ljbm/DancingDudetteAward.GIF http://ecritters.biz/sageaward.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v327/alice655001/bno.bmp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/0DanceDiva0/_Award_.bmp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/monkey_Luvr/masonecaward.bmp http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a279/MansonFan1882/award.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a279/MansonFan1882/sunshinexaward.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/paris15/wertrulesaward2.jpg http://photobucket.com/albums/b158/Flavagirl15/th_hockeyplaya.jpg http://faeriekeeper.net/cheering4.gif http://www.freewebs.com/ljbm/MushroomGirl.bmp http://ecritters.biz/scrubbaward.jpg http://ecritters.biz/nwaward.jpg http://photobucket.com/albums/v399/soringwind/th_SORE.png http://personal.ecu.edu/lkm0520/aminec.png GPG Out of date Don't use this key. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) mQGiBD8AyMQRBAC1uzGntnf0SIM9ul+5AC3rG6UqebrIdq5pbH20Aud80HfGi3w4 ydaXQP6hJyviptAFuihzDxcMfTSMJNIYWXesTxQBi60QKhx3wMv/vZ/yRkCENq+Q AzWKuU043KtPIo86cOBsNgHlnMy3Drrd5tEuqWbnGvdZ+JQbV3LSnsEc7wCgt5vx zjsTqlMascLoLs13R01dCCUEAI5UXGzExA6idoH8vB0dfon+vGFHs4gcGa2wsA0D P3M6M4cxACkyhyd4XDZliovrcqOSFZZAvfT7+4r6auPAhBSrFlWGE1Avtd47/6I0 PUWEgwXQOh4qUlu2LEbaSQ8fghrRAvyYuu2lwX9IjZjIe4CRvpjX5NPtiEBqd8at z8rdBACbJkqWcwhIsDLTC7RpgkTdN1Ov+yPkRnCepmNC89b+nbrYN9gBrRJOPJsY fQjmDJmfU0jojiEOYoiT5pVXW/g+CgZaqWm9CnawoxIM4H0NqWfqNdhMi007WD6Y zvUsqi/mo/9ntCWtM9oCz6kzCKU2L8wI2ULHxW+GpIb+gXUG1LQ/THVjYSBLYWNl ZW0gQnV0bGVyIE1hc3RlcnMgKEdlbmVyYWwgV2VzYykgPGdwZ0B3ZXNjbmV0LmNq Yi5uZXQ+iGEEExECACEFAj8AyMQFCQHhM4AGCwkIBwMCAxUCAwMWAgECHgECF4AA CgkQpvEpprQUalMQLgCbBwY891JDxGLmDR1ARwpqAQo+IDUAoIZFYWvuEK6r+LQ/ Zvpwq4HFJxESuQINBD8AyaEQCAC1SWobkUnEcYUzRrROmBcawFx9xunK5qzs+BhO 0BpWsH3/vaCN8iYG2idRStOkDoxqImex6AV4O2A9YYJQ60uPzZ0jBQoswbx4CbFe +8+GRFWWTt7GrfDqaH/Dg2VnnpyKh12o8w65NzZ0YEthcs5s5DoztZjmtHpwth2M EztAwcW0nLiQDw1Pr8q7wK/Ctl2FL1kxp20RNTWqPeggO6G5JMJ7ycqBlz4H6Apq I+Us6dvdB+Qkyb6Y+7SXczgOsBtyRJrc4zceJh+FyG8kH8lcGWP5urF7jlI4pKr7 6okdIGGREVTVQwdlgNROwNKAcQORGoFdDOaflViAIDLbQWnTAAMFB/4n9nnFtVQk fMaEBA6ELR6DNkJEz0cIfrkcEbZ2tN+7BnlHeP9j/hRc/t8KP8bitiYgbdBXYv8/ Be8e8rLCqbFZ | |
