@rumetzen, I got the impression that the poster was expecting us to have a whole section of computer mythology, and was disappointed to find that we did not. Personally, I don't really see myself writing any more computer myths, since I already covered all the ground I wanted to. Not to say that I won't write some more computer stories, because I plan to, just not creation myths.

I was hoping there was more coherently related material on the site, or elsewhere, but The Wanderers' Library looks like a loose collective at best, but I admire their ideal(s).

Hey! We're plenty organized!

Fantastic! Jack, if we get a huge influx of great writers, we can thank you. Contrarily, we could also get a huge influx of dumb writers in which case I blame you. :P Seriously though, this is great!

I don't think anybody is going to begrudge you because of these links Jack. Understanding how this exposure is spreading/evolving is really useful (and fucking awesome).

I promise that I will not keep posting these links, as i do not wish to spam the forums, but I wanted to point out that according to these comments, some readers of metafilter have been reading other stories in the library, which I feel is an altogether good thing.

Also, I suspect that this story escaped into the wild due to the TvTropes page, so thanks again to Rumetzen for his work.

This has started to spread. It has been translated into Spanish, and has been posted to the web site of a University in Pueblo, Mexico.

I can't read it, because I can't log in, but you can see the title, "Cómo la abuela Triodo robó el binario al Sol" in the left hand navigation bar.

EDIT: Ha, it seems to have come from Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103360494296683005078/posts/CE4dPutxYsJ
Mi español es muy malo, but it seems like a decent enough translation.

Thanks, all.

My favorite part is the i09 comments wherein people are schooling me about how electronics *really* work. I must now actively resist trolling io9.
