I don't know why, but this guy's attitude amuses me greatly. If I were more cynical, I'd suggest contacing him on a regular basis, ask for his opinion, and wait for the fallout. And if I were even more cynical, I'd probably do it myself.
I decided to drop by today to re-read an old interview of his with Saurin about Trax in Space, a site I'm positive Novus will now hate and will post about extensively in the coming weeks, and found a new post from last month about how he brushed off a, quote, "n00b", unquote, and then cleaned out his web space because of it. Many web sites would just post a "my files are now hosted elsewhere" deal. Novus? No, it has to be a full-length news post, complete with... well, I don't know what you'd call what he writes, but it's definitely unique.
Maybe it's because he's not afraid to fly off the handle at the drop of a hat, or maybe it's because of how he writes when that happens. Either way, for those of you interested in reading the ramblings of a man who had a clue, lost it quite some time ago, and can still manage to keep the cynical reader entertained every six months or so, check it out.

In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming

I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
