The Dink Network

I started programming back in the time of dinosaurs, back before the beginnings of time, or at least affordable PC's. I've spent most of my time working in assembler and COBOL (COBOL is king!!), but eventually progressed to unix scripting (of boy what you can do with an awk). I live at home, with my wife and Sparky the dog. My daughter goes to college (Go Gators!!). I hope to bring new ideas to the Dink World. Bored of the Rings is my first attempt at a dmod. I'm hoping to write a sequel, but I need to work out the mechanics of it first. I love playing games. I thing the old super nintendo are some of the best.

If you release the prisoners, you will receive another gem plus a gold heart. You will also learn about the invention one of the prisoners (Otis) is working on. The names for the characters come out of the book "Bored of the Rings" (yes Virginia, there is a book) that the whole dmod is loosely based on, down to the map found in the book. "Bored of the Rings" was a parody of "Lord of the Rings" and was released in the late 60's, so some of the puns in it are somewhat dated. Google "bored of the rings pdf" to get a copy. I've taken some of the dialog from the book for the dmod, but there is way too much good stuff to use.
