This little story is goofy as all get out, but if you make it about to chapter nine, you'll get to the salient bits. It's about a programmer transported to Standard Fantasy Land (with the slight fillip of magic being very easily detectable, and therefore very sparingly used... not that that's THAT* hard to find), and who revolutionises the use of magic via his programming mindset. It's just a cute concept really. The idea of the character being a magic user/programmer instead of a magician, as such (much is made of him having no actual magic in him; as I suppose one who uses any tool does not have to contain that tool) is a fun one, although I'm not entirely sure of the mechanics.

I read this book in college and loved it. Very cool that it's online now. Worst/best inside joke evar: the helper demons named "Emacs".

Then Warren Zevon drives off in his 6000 SUX and says 'DIT.'
Cut to commercial!

"I wonder if he speaks with a lisp?"

This is ridiculous, and getting progressively more entertaining.

I was happy I stuck with it when I finally got to the okay bits. Ah well.

[diaryarena.livejournal.com]

Ridiculous in a good way!

Also, oh ho, the sequel's up too.
