Ack, where's Spiffworld?

Anyone know Spiff and thus possibly what happened to Spiffworld.com?  I know it was up as recently as yesterday evening.

Looks like it's back up!

Yep, it went down yesterday but it looks like everything is back in working order now.  I'm glad that people find it useful enough to notice when it's not available. :)

If anyone ever did need to get ahold of me for this kind of thing, spiffworld@gmail.com will do the trick.

Hey Spiff, I was wondering...how come that on a Sentinels board you're Spaceman Spiff rather than Stupendous Man? ;)

It was a tough call back in the day when I had to pick a name for entering top scores in video games (this was before the Internet, whipersnappers), but "spiff" fit the input limitations of games at the time better than "stupendous", so the spectacular Spaceman Spiff won out.

I briefly considered "Safari Al" and "Tracer Bullet" at the time too, but "Spiff" was just too good.

Truly you do a service to us all, Spiff.  I nearly panicked when my computer wouldn't give up the goods while your site was down.  True story.

Hey, don't ye be callin' me a whippersnapper - I'm pre-Internet too, ya know ;). I were playin' dem dere computer games before the nineties (just)!

lol

Whippersnapper. I were playin' dem dere computer games on a Sinclair Spectrum with rubber keys and a tape drive connected to the TV.

I almost had to abandon "spiff" because that was two more letters than most coin-operated games allowed for high scores.  That's how old tymey it is.

Yeah, I was gonna say something about that - I thought really old games only let you have a three-letter "name" to call yourself in the high scores. On the old Atari games I own that do that, I think I just used to put my initials. I suppose you could just about get away with calling yourself "SPF" - it still sort of sounds right if you say it ;).

Anyone remember Little Brick Out on the Apple II?
