That was a lovely short read. I didn't play muds much, I didn't get an internet connection until they were starting to look old hat, but I did play a Discworld one for a while at uni.

It's stuck me recently how much I miss that kind of programming. Everything I do now is hidden behind so many layers of abstractions, toolkits, libraries and environments that it all feels a bit divorced from what's actually going on. I need to come up with an excuse to do a bit of low-level coding again.
