  • Music: Badd To Me -- King of Pants, "Best of Bootie 2005"

Release: TranceFinger

Trancefinger is a replacement for the standard unix finger(1) command which drives a "Rez" PS2 "Trance Vibrator" on receiving internet finger daemon requests, in patterns and intensities varying with regard to the request. It has a compile time enabled "stealth mode" ( on by default ) in which it will appear to be a normal finger daemon, albeit a lagged one. The most pervasive innuendo of computer science was thus brought full circle.

Vanilla C source, for OSX and Linux. Includes rudimentary build instructions.

edit: bluh, I had that link wrong all the time.

Hey qdot! Boingboing and SE too! Never thought I'd see this kind of coverage for one of my little hacks.

Thanks a lot for putting this up on the 'dong - never would have gotten seen otherwise. :-) Hope it brings a lot of new talent into the field.

I'm gonna update the Rez article I wrote way back when tonight, since there seems to be a ton of renewed interest in it. I'm also gonna take apart my TranceVibe and take some nice, high rez pictures.
