View/control startup applications.
Small, concise, full-featured and overall incredible. This is an essential part of my toolkit.

Cornerstone websites are gone.
I didn't look too far into things, but there are definitely very large changes since I was "into" Ruby, back in mid-2006.

A book on the history of the demoscene.
This is on history and itself has become a collectable piece of it. I bought and read this years ago.. probably in 2007 or thereabouts.

A man attains mystical powers originally for selfish reasons, but they taint with a life fraught with danger and demons.
Not a bad show, but the lead character's personality isn't attracting, and there's the old celestial stick-up-the-ass personality in another. The lead female is hot. Hotty hot hot.
This was cancelled after one season. Back in the 90s this show would have done well, but I'm guessing this genre has alternately been well-poisoned or saturated. This show has too much it has to be better than to catch enough attention to survive. I think that it's magic-fantasy was competing with an extraordinarily-strong superhero-fantasy genre.
.. which in turn is based on the DC comic book series Hellblazer.

An English interface. This might have been just an English modification of the original stuff or a whole new distribution. I'm fuzzy on that.

Zynergy was a highly customized ROM image for the Sharp Zaurus PDA.
Based on Sharp's 2.38 ROM, the idea was to combine the best parts of the Sharp and Opie ROM, creating something better than both.
This distribution has not been tested

TODO - I've already tested and have made modifications to its install documentation.
I'm chatting with its author to see what I'm allowed to host.

An audio player.
A really fucking inexcusably-ugly audio player. Abandoned.
Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?
Can use the libSIDPlay2 plugin to play c64 sid audio. See Oldschool music.

my update - https://github.com/spiralofhope/_DevPad.GUI
An in-game text editor and addon authoring tool (Lua).
Keep notes with it, write Lua scripts, or prototype addon concepts in its trimmed down development environment. Organize your scripts into folders and share them with other _DevPad users. Scripts can run automatically on login like mini addons, and can call each other like libraries or dependencies.
An absolutely spectacular AddOn that I'm not sure I can live without.
