  • Mayflash PS2 Controller Programmable Convertor
    – Macros with the controller. Perfect for grinding in games like Disgaea – Hour of Darkness – (2003 game).

• Reading >

  • Timeline – (1999 book), by Michael Crichton
    – Recommended: I knew this title at a glance, and recognized the author from another random purchase. I didn’t eve know the movie was based on this. It was a worthy read.
    – I’m moving on to another piece by the same author, which also inspired a movie I like, Sphere – (1987 book), by Michael Crichton.

  • Process Lasso
    – A CPU/system happiness utility. Highly recommended.
  • qpdfview
    – A simple PDF viewer. Simple and works well.
  • Zathura
    – A well-rounded PDF viewer. Not bad, but could be better.

Updates ∞

Tags with “based on”, such as movies based on books, have been renamed “inspired by” to be more accurate.

  • The Pacific – (2010 show) was updated with notes from 2017-11-13.

Ported ∞

Things brought over from elsewhere. New pages or major updates. Small pages and minor updates are not noted.

From ancient archives ∞

Note that the dates from the oldest articles are likely wrong, as they were ported from a still-older content management system. I have very very old references to that porting process, which will itself eventually get ported.

3,220 articles left to process..
