My version of the "Desert Island Discs" game is the "Desert Island Business Card CD" game; the rules of the game are:
- I am on a desert island that has electricity (must be a bank of solar panels), air conditioning, and an unlimited food and fresh water supply
- On said island, I have a computer with 3d video acceleration, but no software installed except a basic install of Microsoft Windows (without games)
- I am allowed to bring one CD-R with me, but the CD-R must be a 50 megabyte "business card CD" (to be exact, said CD has 26099 2048-byte sectors, or 53,450,753 bytes, the size of some batches of Ritek Business Card CDs)
- The desert island disk must be formatted as an ISO-9660 filesystem
- All music and audio must be encoded as fixed-rate MP3 files (the reason for this is because I sometimes put my business card CD-R in friends' MP3 stereos, which can only play MP3s and can't play variable bitrate MP3s)
- A modified version of the World English Bible
- A memory tester and Windows password reset tool
- A Cartomancy guide
- The TrueType version of my Chortle font (derived from Carter's Bitstream Charter), and two of Jos Buvivenga's excellent fonts
- The Ultimate Doom data file, using version 1.8.6 of Doomsday to play the game, and ObHack to make random maps
- David Teach's Gin Rummy program (I removed the installer since the installed files compressed are about about 5% the size of the full installer)
- 7-zip, to make other files smaller
- Deadwood 2.3.02, a DNS non-recursive cache I wrote
- MaraDNS 1.3.07.09
- MSys 1.0.10, which gives me a good subset of *NIX in a Windows environment
- A portable version of TextMaker from the free Soft Maker 2006 office suite; by getting rid of everything but the word processor, the 7zip compressed file is about 5 megs in size, and includes Spanish-language and English-language spelling dictionaries
- The songs Glyder and Muroc by Jonn Serrie from his album Flightpath (Glyder encoded at 192kbps, Muroc at 160kbps)
- A song I wrote in 1995 called Distant Vision, encoded at 160 kbps
- Some pictures of myself and my life, including a picture of me with my girlfriend
- A version of Radio Gatun and RG32 sums (sums generated using the 32-bit form of RadioGatun) of all files to verify the integrity of the CD
