Revenge of the Turbonerds
Having discovered that Liferea displays web pages using Firefox's engine (and so you don't have to open all links in a separate program), I decided to re-add all the web comic feeds which don't embed the comics.
The last entry in the User Friendly feed was a feedback item about the "AJ in Nethack" story arc. Apparently someone has actually come up with a patch that implements the "Turbonerd" class which AJ played. Bizarre. No prizes for guessing what the deities are called :)
There was also a link to a server where you could play Nethack with this patch over telnet (nuclearwombats.net, port 20040). It's not all that mind-blowing (your starting weapon is a +0 cluebat :), but you can connect over IPv6. So now there are two useful (*cough*) things I can do with IPv6 (the other being connecting to the Freenode IRC network). Yay.
Edit: Damn, you can't connect over IPv6 after all. Seems I was just confused by it trying to connect, and didn't notice that it fails.
