I was wondering if the length of wach bounce on the world map matters at all. At first I was trying to use servers that were on opposite sides of the globe, in order to get the "longest" possible length of connections.

But then yesterday, I just started ignoring that, and connecting to servers that were closer. I haven't noticed any difference, so now I am thinking that length has no importance at all? The only important things being # of servers and kind of access.

Nope. Physical location means nothing.

I tend to go continent by continent after my save-list. It makes it neater that way. Just thought I'd share :).

You have been warned: More haikus are coming!!!

I like to get them in order of priority... Usually InterNIC(logs)->Uplink Test Machine (admin)->banks(user accounts)->UISM->whatever else i got->target.

And speaking of InterNIC(logs), I'm nearing completion of InterNIK (k as in krack, yeh?), a drag-and-drop utility to remove the InterNIC password from user files- so you just go ahead and click Admin, and you're in.

(edit)My other title idea was "InterNARC"... what do you think? :)(/edit)

I was directing my bounces according to length because of that d**n James Bond movie. Adriac, the plug for a shortcut sounds great though, I do enjoy the funny passwords ie. "in-trash". Speaking of which, do you all make your own name and passwords difficult?

Actually, my user name is just Z, but my password is actually the same one I have on the webboards. I just got so used to it.

Now I thought that different systems gave you more or less time depending... Like for instance I have purposely hacked into many internal systems and simply gotten access to them and deleted my logs so I could keep that funky little dotted square around the connecting point on the world Map (similar to the ones around the Uplink Bank and Test Machine). I swear that saves time, also I managed to not get the Academy nor the GCD revolked so they are SOLID squares around the connectiong dot on the world map. I dont think Im crazy, but then, what crazy people do? If Im full of snot please tell me so I dont spend the rest of my life a moron. Thanks.
