Hm, a lot of this looks like it was taken from Spaceballs' classic Amiga demo "State of the Art" with other effects like spectrums overlaid. [youtube aykuVMf4uIQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aykuVMf4uIQ youtube] I don't see further attribution.

Or, I'm just a dolt. It seems to be using all of my OpenID settings, so clearly it just remembers who I am.

Which I find a little unintuitive, but… most dolts say such things.

Okay, so it does submit the comment in FF3. OpenID, though, still an issue.

Also, your comment form appears to be broken for FireFox. 8 errors with Firebug and (unless you see this–trying one more time), just plain doesn't submit. The "OpenID" link, at the very least, doesn't work at all in FF3 or Safari ($id("IDCNavFBC") is null).

Feel the 8-bit sampling love.

I never used Octomed (I never owned an Amiga: hopped straight from my C-64 to a PC), but I cut my teeth on SoundTracker (then NoiseTracker, then FastTracker, then Buzz), so this is definitely nostalgic.

…But I don't for a second regret switching to real synths. ; )
