    For those of you who don’t know me I am the Dos mage.  The one you may have heard of.  I also go by Vex the Annoying One or simply Vex.  You may be wondering who this “Dos mage” is.  You I might say I am a user of the Internet.  Someone who manipulates code to show you another side of things.  I created this site back in 1993. It has changed over the years from statically annoying to dynamically annoying to web 2.0 annoying to trendy annoying.

    Another typical question is how did this name come about. Well… the story is a bit old. I mean… I invented the name before the site so what, that’s before 1993… so around 91, 92? My favourite game at the time was Ultima 7 with a Sound Blaster 16! Getting that to work under DOS took extended memory, expanded memory, DMA and IRQ settings for the sound card… mouse.com and not mouse.exe because you can’t waste your precious, precious memory by portable executables! Oh the good old days. And in that one paragraph you can sum up the name: Dos mage or disk operating system wizard… Yea, I don’t really care either, Linux is my new life and really Lin mage? lol.

    Here we are, you’re reading what I apparently care about. Have fun drop a line. I usually post infrequently.
