Pickaxing my way thru the virtualization/orchestration mines since the turn of the century. Playing, mapping, and hosting old FPS games since before then. Lapsed trombonist and vocalist, but still performing (vocal only) on request of certain 5-year-old.

In the meantime I was nerdsniped into emulating an Indy+IRIX on MAME; got the bz executable from a mirror of the old SGI FTP site. Some obvious graphical glitchiness going on here but yeah that's good old bz.
