  1. Instead of setting up my website and HuGo projects in this temporary desktop PC, I instead started learning how #MUDlet scripting works.

    I need to port over our #MUSHclient scripts to MUDlet, so I can play #AnsalonMUD regularly again (since I'm on #Linux). I like the current version of MUDlet, it has come a long way since I last checked it.

    And from what little I've read so far, the scripting and layout customisation are also better.

    (I also need to brush up my #Lua, it has been a few years since I last used it. LOL.)

    AnsalonMUD is a #DragonLance-based MUD. It first went online in June 1996.

    This is a memorable one:
    * My first (non-personal) website was the “Unofficial AnsalonMUD Website”, sometime late 1997 and early 1998. (The label “unofficial” was popular, “fansite” was not the go-to term back then.)
    * When AnsalonMUD launched its official website in 1998, I changed my website into a personal DragonLance fansite.
    * I later acquired (I asked for it) the dragonlance_cjb_net domain after the original site/owner acquired dragonlance.com and moved to it. (SEO doesn't exist back then, no 'juice' to care about.)
    * I started building this website because I want to learn #HTML and was followed the development of #CSS later.

    While that website no longer exist, and unfortunately, the old files got stuck in an old HDD that no longer works (though I still have the HDD haha), I am still playing AnsalonMUD to this day.

    So, yeah, almost 27 years later (I joined #Ansalon in 1997), I am still playing one of the longest-running DragonLance-based MUD.
