OldRoot

Chapter 1: Seeding

It all started on July 11th, 2014. User /u/LewisGreen submitted this post to /r/Minecraft. LewisGreen got a private message from /u/OldRoot, containing an image link and the text "This is the beginning. Those who are pure will see what hides in the darkness". The image was a very dark screenshot of Minecraft in the forest, with a silhouette of a character in the background. /u/-Neroren- started the hunt. He brightened the image, revealing a transparent link to a SoundCloud track called "it has begun". It was a .wav sound file, which when run through spectrogram software revealed a message.

Darker theme for Shout. Has a bit more eye-friendly color scheme and hides some IMO unnecessary features such as "Leave" and "Submit" buttons.

Common App & Stanford Essays

The following are my responses to the main Common App essay and the Stanford application questions. You're welcome to read them to try and understand how I got "in" to Stanford, or just for fun. Whatever you choose to try and take away from these essays, I hope you get something out of them. Or nothing at all, that works too. Enjoy.

A Brief Note

There's no secret formula. There are a lot of people more qualified than me that got denied. Even though they may have been more qualified, I beat them when it came to the essays. The most important part of your application is your essays, so I would encourage you to spend a lot of time on them. Spend time reflecting on who you are and how you can use your essays to communicate that. The readers of the over 40,000 Stanford applicants know a fake essay from a mile away. If you want to have a chance at admission, your essays need to be 100% authentic you, not 90% authentic you and 10% your mom/tutor/fake self.

If you plan to apply, I

Gradle tab completion for Bash. Works on both Mac and Linux.

Gradle tab completion script for Bash

A tab completion script that works for Bash. Relies on the BSD md5 command on Mac and md5sum on Linux, so as long as you have one of those two commands, this should work.

Usage

$ gradle [TAB]
