"What
are we gonna do, talk about me sex life?"
-Alex (Malcolm McDowell), "A Clockwork Orange"
MJS2000 is a one-man operation, run by a 16-year old
high school sophomore named Matt. He wishes to keep his last name
classified in order to defer pedophiles and other dangers lurking about
on the Net (and most notably in the TI department...yeah right.)
(switching into 1st-person mode.....now) I live in Rhode
Island, the smallest state in the union (i.e. the USA). I enjoy video
games, playing tennis, surfing, watching movies, making movies,
listening to music (alt/punk/dance), programming, and, of course, the
opposite sex.
But then again, you probably came here to find out about
the history of my "company." Well, I guess the whole thing
started sometime in December 1998, when I got my TI-83. After a couple
months I figured out how to write programs and released my first real
program, a Pythagorean theorem solver, to my 7th-grade math class in
February of 1999. And it all took off from there. When I graduated 8th
grade in 2000 my parents got me a TI-89 as a present, and I discovered
the magic of this whole new platform.
My internet presence was first established on
(ironically) September 11th, 2000, one year before the tragic events we
are all aware of. It was a Ti-83 BASIC tutorial called "So, You
Wanna Program Your TI-83 But You're As Dumb As A Brick." And it was
held in very high regard, reaching nearly 1500 hits before it was
transformed into a full-fledged MJS2000 site in November (and the
hitcounter was reset.) The site underwent its first major change
somewhere around the end of January 2001, and in June it was completely
redone. Then, after seven months of inactivity (on the web that is),
I've decided to spring back, give the site another complete overhaul,
and change hosts. The color scheme sports the famous blue-violet color
popularized by the Playstation 2 (God i love my PS2), and that
techno-looking font up there is from Metal Gear Solid 2, the best game
ever made. And that brings us to today. In my three years
of TI programming I've written over 60 programs, some of them little, some
of them big, all of them MJS2000. They're Programs for the 21st
Century.......or not. |
