Its first impression is that it’s sort of Star Trek parody-thing, it quickly unfolds into its own unique space-adventure-drama.
Fantastic originality and mood. Recommended, rapidly approaching highly recommended.
Verdict: While it’s good, it’s not great, at least not for me. I got bored in the first couple of episodes of season two. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first several episodes.
Like other shows these days, I became interested in this purely because “those people” “hate” it.

– A terminal used with Babun (Cygwin) - DisplayFusion
– highly recommended: A utility (primarily) for those with multiple monitors. I got this some time ago and was lazy about making a page because I didn’t know if I’d end up using it.

- GeForce GTX 650
– I got this some time ago, but only now thought to add a page to it, to add a link to its home page and drivers, etc. An amazing card, likely still a great find for anyone looking for something cheap and good that’ll work with an older computer.

- Ultimate Windows Tweaker
– It’s been a year, so I updated to 4.3 and checked my settings. Not much is new.
– I wonder if there’s a better way for me to go through my software to check for updates. I could use Chocolatey for as many things as possible, but perhaps I ought to troll through /tag/software+live.

An man works to undermine his brother’s happiness by meddling with his son’s marriage. Also two smart people dual with words.
A pretty good book, though my reading of the Signet Classic was seriously interrupted by footnotes. Not because of the shifting up/down to read them, but because the footnotes are crammed all together. Given that this book is 1/4 commentary, axing one for clearer footnotes would have been amazing. Maybe another edition will be better. I intend to collect many of this particular play.

I highly recommend Much Ado About Nothing – (1993 movie), even for those who have no interest in this book.

A cross-platform open-source animation program.
I didn’t want to deal with Blender, so I checked this out for simple animations. So far, so good. Even at a glance it could have been done far better, but maybe I can make do.
