HA THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE THE URBANDICTIONARY DEFINITION OF MY USERNAME!

Which definition? I got a bird that gives bad luck to sailors and some odd sex position...
Bi-polarism, that would be very hard to live with.

Since we're on the subject anyway, does anyone else have an accompanying problem with anxiety attacks? I ask because a old friend of mine has both, and I've been getting them as well. Facebook sets them off instantly so I can't use it anymore, so will occasional nostalgic forays into old computer files.
Anxiety attacks... yeah, I do tend to get them occasionally. Not quite the impending fear of death, though I do tend to... well, they're anxiety attacks, but not quite. No hyperventilating, but for some reason a lot of self-inflicted pain. Dunno why, though.
Any day I get someone into Dream Theater is a good day for me.
I still have the source code for the synthesizer


what were you programming it in/library used? I'm curious as I want to do that as a project as well, considering it seems quite fun. I was looking at making it as a VSTi so i could use it in ableton.
@Paoletti301
Language: C++/Qt
Mandatory Libraries: Qt, libSndFile.
Optional Libraries: PortAudio, RtAudio, RtMidi, libJACK.

EDIT: I've considered starting working on it again. It's still on Sourceforge after all.

@sargon94
I also get anxiety attacks. Fortunately, the triggers for them are rather sparse.

You can't leave sourceforge projects to fend for themselves, they deserve the warm comfort of GitHub :3

Fun fact: for years I misread sourceforge as surgeforce

Cool! That's a lot of files in the root directory, haha - I'll start checking this out.

Also, my plan worked - now you're on the cpluspluscom owner team. Do you remember the ChessPlusPlus project?
Yeeeeah, I really need to move all the UI assets to their own folder.

WAIT, WHAT? I... I'm honored. Thank you so much. O.O

The name ChessPlusPlus rings a bell somewhere, but I can't quite remember. Remind me what it was please?

EDIT: Found the very first post by naraku!

Oh, that~! Yes, I remember now. How has it been coming along?

-Albatross
Thumper, Naraku and I have been steadily working on it. I've been mainly refactoring the code base a lot, so my fork looks very different from the main repo. Feel free to check out the code and jump in by sending pull requests and opening issues ;)

I've only been sporadically working on it. Uni's been rough :p

@Albatross
I'm sitting here thinking like, damn, I remember talking to Albatross like 3 years ago. You knew me at 15 years old back in the day when I was still a noobie (I still feel like I know nothing, lol). Feeling a bit nostalgic i guess.
There's only a few other members I distinctly remember that date back to the very beginning of my membership here. Disch is one other.
@LB
Alright, I'll be looking into it. :)

@Thumper
I remember you. :) Nostalgia can be a lovely thing at times. Just sit back, relax, and remember the good times...
Not to imply that these times aren't good. They're wonderful. Geez I sound like an old crone.
