Revision as of 18:00, 23 December 2004

GrowlZ is a moderately active member of Graal's community and its staff. He enjoys referring to himself in the third person and relishes any opportunity to do so. He can be friendly when he deems it necessary, but is often decried as "too formal" by your average player. He wanted to type "overly formal" there, but caught himself just in time. He hopes that this illustrates his point.

Community

As a member of the Playerworld Administration Team, GrowlZ can usually be found on Graal somewhere. He also has a perfectly functional Graal Communication Center account, but only uses it to comment very occasionally. He is a mid-level operator on the GScript IRC channel.

Development Areas

GrowlZ is talented with many web-oriented languages, and demonstrates a sound comprehension of XHTML, CSS and JavaScript. He is somewhat worryingly proficient with PHP, in which he invents new data structures on a regular basis, and eschews traditional database-like systems in favour of vast arrays. He was rather good with GScript for a while, but decided to retire from Graal development for the good of his sanity.

In "real" languages like C and C++, GrowlZ is exceedingly good at shifting bits and bytes and manipulating things behind-the-scenes, but can't even draw a window properly. Do not expect a GrowlZ-brand utility to look nice; it's command lines and unhelpful messages all the way, buddy.

He is in favour of Free Software (as defined by the FSF) when it suits him. For example, he makes and compiles all of his secret and proprietary binaries using the free Dev-C++ development environment, outfitted with the GNU Compiler Collection running under Microsoft Windows. He appreciates the self-contradictory nature of this position.

He does not use Ruby, Perl or Python, and has them all installed simply to act as a talking point.

Staff Positions

GrowlZ is presently global staff and serves as a member of the embattled Playerworld Administration Team. He was manager of Rudora for a while and worked as NAT Admin on Sanstrata back in the good old days of Graal prior to all this Trial Account and Ghost Mode mumbo-jumbo.

Graal Accounts

GrowlZ1010. Anyone else claiming to be GrowlZ is a liar and a fraud and should be beaten soundly. As far as you know, GrowlZ maintains no secret accounts whatsoever.

Contact

It is ridiculously easy to contact GrowlZ.

Email: growlz at myrealbox dot lollerskates (replace "lollerskates" with "com")
Graal: GrowlZ1010
AIM: GrowlZ1010
MSN: GrowlZ1010@hotmail.com (no email to here)
Jabber: GrowlZ@jabber.org (this isn't even an email address)
Y! IM: growlz1010
IRC: GrowlZ on irc.freenode.net
Graal Support Center: File a request under General questions or Playerworld queries

He will probably be able to understand you if you speak in French, but will probably not be able to offer any kind of coherent response besides "Je comprends. Un moment, s'il vous plait." It is worth noting that GrowlZ is not afraid to block idiots on any or all of his messaging systems. Don't be an idiot.

-'''IMPORANT MESSAGE TO UNIXMAD AND GRAALONLINE:'''
+== Development Areas ==
-Aslong as the Playerworld Administration Team and the Global Scripting Team is still around, we will continue to attack Graal. After reading several threads about the two it seems the players agree with us on how they both are not needed and only cause problems for playerworlds. So aslong as those two global staff groups remain and the people in them, Graal will face an endless war that will harm itself.

-We have put both of those in our demands for unixmad that we upload everytime we attack a server. JellyFish has also told unixmad that he will only leave graal if he gets rid of those 2 groups.
