An oldschool music player.
Has potential, but is missing critical features and its development appears to have ceased. Only good for playing ASMA (Atar) .mus, .str, and .wds files.

Chocolatey: babun
https://babun.github.io/
A customized Cygwin for Linux on Windows: Zsh, Bash, git and other Linux software, all pre-configured.
Can install other software provided by Cygwin.
My configuration specific to Babun is currently scattered throughout my git repository, just findinall Babun (using my findinall() )

View/control startup applications.
Small, concise, full-featured and overall incredible. This is an essential part of my toolkit.
Services are not supported.

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.
TODO - import more of its archived text
This is on my list of books to re-read.

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.

pushtotalk.nu (archived)
Implements push-to-talk functionality directly on an audio input device.
It toggles the audio device's mute. Used as a global push-to-talk when a program does not support such a feature, such as with a web browser that does not currently have focus.

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.

- More-or-less based on Constantine - (2005 movie)
.. which in turn is based on the DC comic book series Hellblazer.
