That's sweet and clever.
Awww, congrats to p3ng and his fiancée!
They should both be required to wear helmets at all times.
That's awesome and very romantic. He went thorugh all that trouble working the code inorder to present his virtual right to his fiancée. That's a very clever way to propose. Idunno, that's pretty hard to top. Congratulations p3ng!
I now know someone famous!!
awww! I would love it if a guy did that for me!
awww, I like reading stories like this. Congrats :D
Very cool idea indeed. You're the man p3ng congrats.
I love the the way Ethan did it in this comic: http://ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20060213
But still, gotta give props for programming up a scheme like that, I may borrow the idea...
Wish i could write code.
who still uses Xanga??
Judging by the number of comments he's received, a lot of people.
Asians.
Come on, you know it.
wow, thats pretty creative, the closest ive gotten is asking a girl to prom on her TI-83. bluhh.
Haha nice! Nerds FTW!
Lets turn this into a drinking game. Every time a (supposedly) female commenter post a comment containing "aww", have a shot.
Seriously though, that was really sweet of him.
Homebrew NDS yo'self at palib.info
she's got nice legs. I'd do her.
Aaw, they're gonna have a little p4ng. :)
...LOL...thats sorta cool
but sorta lame too
but...hey..HE GOT THE GIRL...
...all that matters...
I think it's cute and clever. "Bejeweled," and all that.
Yeah, it's sort of nerdy, but in an endearing sort of way, which is what I think he was going for.
Congrats to both of them. :)
Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love
Seriously, congrats!
wow...those guys are so made for each other. And why are people still using xanga? it's so lame. so are the people there. check out the pictures of those who commented.
That was very cool. Not necessarily the Bejeweled part as much as all the time he took to get all of that set up. Geek love, you can't byte it.
nerds rule!!! congrats.
I did something like that once. Except it was to ask a girl out. This girl I really liked at the time LOVED to draw using this one application on my Treo. So that sparked an idea. Why not write "will you go out with me" on the coloring pad application on my Treo. Then I though how should I get her to open it? So I invited her over to watch a movie and said "hey it's kinda cold in here. Let me go run and fetch some blankets real fast and I'll be back." but then I said "oh and here's my phone if you want to draw on it" which made her happy. When I was out getting blankets I heard "oh my god... YES!!" coming from the room indicating she found the note. She loved it, and she said yes too! ;)
This is why computer engineers are 10x sexier than rockstars!
That's very sweet and romantic. It's a good thing she didn't suck at Bejeweled.
And now a personal message to p3ng: RUN AWAY! It's a trap! You'll be much happier if you remain single! Don't let romance blind you! Your single life is about to end and everything you enjoy or like about yourself will be crushed under her boot-heels to make room for more throw pillows! All your stuff will be in a garage sale or closet, and all her stuff will be EVERYWHERE! Your friends will be driven away when she feels threatened by them! Your social life will be terminated! You're looking at countless nights of arguing, silent treatment, and wondering if she poisoned your drink because she saw you chatting with a cute girl at work and is now acting weird. Flee! Flee before your spirit is crushed and your dreams are forcibly abandoned. Run!
Sorry. I just think every man deserves this warning before he gets married. If you're still certain after that, then I guess congratulations are in order, and I hope you're happy together.
