CHMODOPLUSR(1) WWW Visitor's Manual CHMODOPLUSR(1)
NAME
chmodplusr - public repository of miscellanea
SYNOPSIS
www.chmodoplusr.com [ | /RainThunder | ]
DESCRIPTION
chmodoplusr.com is a repository of works by Tim "HeXetic" Gokcen
- i.e., *me*, the guy writing this right now - that I want to make
available to the general public.
The name comes from the Unix command `chmod' which changes the permissions
on files. "o+r" indicates that the specified files are to be made world-readable.
The obvious connection is that the stuff on this website is supposed to be world-
readable as well.
Some of the stuff stashed in here:
"Chronicles of the Mandrake", a set of fantasy-fiction
stories set in the Forgotten Realms. The central character is
"Zetic", a human who, as a result first of an evil wizard and then
divine intervention, is changed into a Dragon. The stories follow his
Gulliver's Travels-esque journey of self-discovery and his emotional
attachment to "Isacharact", a White Dragon.
Some of the stories in the series are rated PG-13 due to sexuality. There is
almost no explicit language, but there are references to mature themes.
/RainThunder "A Dream of Rain, A Dance In Thunder", a science-fiction
novel-length story set in a (technically original, but basically a rip-
off of everything else) universe. The central character is "Makon"
a calculating augmented human who decides to ruthlessly pursue yet another
prize... except that this time, the female Naga "Her Excellency the Duchess
Kalimanassa Mussraaf of Mashir" is not an assassination target...
Slightly more explicit than Mandrake in terms of sexuality, although I have tried
to make sure the sexuality is not gratuitous - it almost always involves either
humor or an important plot point or character aspect.
"Into Cerberon", a mod for Doom³ that will bring
the action of the classic 6DOF shooter Descent into the shadow-intensive
Doom³ engine.
DIAGNOSTICS
chmodoplusr.com will return 404 on invalid pages, and possibly a Bandwidth Exceeded
error if it is used too frequently.
BUGS
Report any errors to me at .
COMPATIBILITY
chmodoplusr.com has been hand-coded and uses simple CSS and JavaScript.
Almost any browser should be able to support this stuff.
Most of the stories are published in PDF format. This means you will need something
that can read Acrobat PDFs - Adobe offers a free reader, but there are also several
alternatives (especially on Unix). For the most part, the stories do not use advanced
PDF features - however, seeing as how the official Reader is free and available for all
major platforms, I make no guarantees about whether third-party PDF readers will work.
HISTORY
First launched on April 23, 2005. The Mandrake content was originally on my tiny
ISP homepage which had a massive 5MB maximum storage and some incredibly insignificant
maximum monthly transfer. I decided to get real hosting and a real domain in order
to be able to put more stuff up.
