As for "Poke the Bunny," there has been progress among ISP's and various companies to standardize the way in which HTML coding (used to send you to websites, and dictates what you see on a page of a website) are used, along with Java, CSS, etc. However Shockwave runs on client side(your computer) Java, most of which has been dropped, due to security concerns, in favor of server side Java, PHP(website's computer)...
"Poke the Bunny" will not work because it's version of Java is no longer supported by albinoblacksheep.com
The problem with "standardizing" coding, is that by creating arbitrary rules and regs, you limit the way in which you can solve a problem. Sometimes dealing with this is like trying to find your way through a cornmaze, blindfolded using a compass. Finding alternate routes, or short-cuts makes your website faster than auto-coded sites because there is less programming language to run for the same project.

For instance: The base code for a page on a website I set up recently was around 80, minus content, when I started. When I finished, the code, minus content, was some 20 lines. Ideally this means my code runs at minimum, 4 times faster than the previous rendition. However I put, HTML, CSS, and PHP all on the same page. Raw HTML when it's better, CSS when it's faster, PHP when it's faster. Then they all get turned into machine code and it doesn't matter anymore what they started as.
Coding a site in one language is silly.
3 lines of PHP did the same thing as almost 30 lines of CSS.

Also, I have coded while drunk on another site.
The issue that cause the drinking was the fact that I was asked to create pages, in the format they were in (spacing, pictures, etc) on a word document... Easy right?
Think again! The formatting would only properly display in my E-mail preview box, and the images could not be saved or stored from there, to be sent to the site.
So I had to download the 12 or so docs, screen shot user created images (because the Kodak "protection" wouldn't let me save them directly) edit them and save them in Photoshop, send them to the server, find the correct spacing/sizing (the size of the text in the document and the standard on the server were different) by trial and error, then add the text content, correcting errors on the way. On top of this, it had to be done... 12 hours BEFORE I got the info for the site.
At about 12 am, 3+ hours into the process, I started drinking mead. I finished the bottle and the site by 5:30-6 am... and went to bed. All the code was good, except one picture was one line too low (fixed the next day, on site, at the request of the project supervisor).
3-5 weeks later... the company took all my work down because they closed that part of their company.
Sry split that all up for easier reading. it was one post. sweatdrop

My typing WPM goes in spikes... I'll spike high after about an hour of typing, and low 30 minutes after that. It depends on the number letters in each word, and how much thought is required for the entry I make. If I'm composing a paper, or writing code it's a lot lower due to the extra care required for the project at hand.

I mean, yeah I'm just completely virtual now rather than like kinda virtual.
The stupid is the real Virus.
Also the virus though.
I'm still waiting for someone to invent a vaccine to prevent idiocracy.
