Editing Talk:Colin Phipps (cph)

Sure, cph has helped advance source ports a lot throughout the years, but why is he, himself, classified as a source port? Can somebody come up with why he is in that category? Or was the person who made this article on reefer? -Wagi [[User:69.51.157.227|69.51.157.227]] 15:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

: I didn't write this article, but I think that [[:Category:Source ports]] can reasonably be interpreted as "articles directly related to the phenomenon of source ports" instead of simply "articles describing individual source ports", which seems overly literalist.&nbsp; This kind of thing is often done on wikipedia (random example: [[Wikipedia:Jean Ichbiah|Jean Ichbiah]] is in [[Wikipedia:Category:Ada programming language|Category:Ada programming language]], even though he was presumably programmed in nucleic acids rather than Ada), and we maintain a separate [[Source ports|directory of source ports]] anyway.&nbsp; Not putting [[Simon Widlake]] and [[Adam Hegyi]] into [[:Category:Speedrun]] would IMHO be obscuring history.&nbsp; Also, some of us don't need reefer to behave incomprehensibly.&nbsp;&nbsp; :D&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 20:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

: I don't see why a human being can't be classified as a source port. I myself am written in C and am derived from CSDoom. I'm capable of multiplayer mode via an obscure networking media known as "air," in which commands between server and client are generated using a specialized and very popular technology involving vibrations. Additionally I can double as a hardware driver, but not a stable one as I am known to crash when performing at high speeds. And yes, I am compatible with reefer. 

: Seriously though, who is to say whether we program for Doom...or if Doom programming us? :P [[User:Zaximus|Zack]] 21:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

: cph has transcended mere programming and become one with the code.  He has become his own source port :-) [[User:Fraggle|Fraggle]] 23:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
