Site Content

PsychoCorp is an ongoing spoof of a TI developer. In it, we try to satirize the TI Community - current events, habits and characteristics of different people and groups - the operative word being "try". We don't guarantee that you will find this funny. Some people find that the humor goes right over their heads, and leave thinking PsychoCorp is a real programming group. But others do find it funny, and it is for those people we are writing it.

Site Significance

PsychoCorp was satire, which meant it tried to be topical with the events of the day in the TI Community. The formation of Basicoderz and later XCoderz provided ample fodder at one point, as did the whole Basmic campaign and events at the major TI sites.

Site History

(Taken from SiCoDe about page)

PsychoCorp was a comedy TI programming group founded by David Hall. In regular updates David, writing as his character "Ken Davis" (a name that was to become famous with SiCoDe fans) posted humorous diary entries about his new company PsychoCorp. Other characters included D00d, the "famous" hacker, Anne Alate, a programmer who never programmed "practical" programs, and Jack Ripper who pirated others' programs and claimed credit for them.

PsychoCorp is no longer regularly updated but a considerable amount of past entries can be seen at http://psycho.calc.org
