## Quake Expo 2011!

This year marks Quake’s 15th birthday and thus there had to be a Quake Expo. There had to be, and there is and it started some days ago so as usual I am the last one to post about it.

My booth is here, so far I released a bunch of old finger .plan files. Those were a twitter/blog like technology which game developers used to share knowledge, shout insults and talk about llamas in the nineties. A lot of Quake’s and id Software’s history as well as the whole FPS development scene of those days is covered in those. I started collecting them a while ago and will continue to do so. Once I am done, I will make a big huge super mega über article about it. The release is a work-in-progress dump, so it might not make much sense to anyone but me. If you read this and you do have archived .plan files, please contact me! Also do so if you archived old IRC logs from the #quake channels when developers talked (apart from this bloody amazing list).

Upcoming things to expect from me: A long interview with one of Quake’s developers, oh gee! A paginated fancy (with screenshots!) browse function for the map list. And maybe other things, I sadly do not have much time at the moment. I meant to have ditched WordPress and moved to another server by now…
