A programming language of some note.
I had some small interest in this language, primarily because it’s used for World of Warcraft addon programming and general scripting , but I ended up losing interest in it and in programming in general.

A roguelike game with a tactical side to it.
I like it, but only played a little of it as this sort of game doesn’t seem to grab me any more. Definitely recommended for fans of this style of game. Don’t be put off by its graphics. Like a good book, the pictures are in your head.

Smart synchronization / excellent mirroring program
Though legendarily-difficult to comprehend, it does work well.
If you are a beginner, AVOID THIS PROGRAM! .. you will hate your life.

NOTE – I have included some very old notes.
- I’ve been using rsync with good success for backups. See my backup project.

https://invisible-island.net/dialog/
A program to present a commandline dialog, letting a scripter get user input.
Capable enough for everyday scripts. Capable enough that to get a “GUI” dialog, I would rather spawn a terminal and use dialog.
- cat
- The shell builtin
read. - A GUI option would be Xdialog.

I think it’s hilarious there are so many nice screenshots of a text program.

A program to present a GUI dialog, that lets a scripter get user input.
I didn’t use this for anything notable enough to form an opinion. It seems nice, but I didn’t want to have yet another application, especially one with a dependency, when there’s something commandline already (dialog).

was freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/numlockx/
was home.kde.org/~seli/numlockx/
A GUI program that turns NumLock on. Great for turning it on as X starts.
Why ever numlock would be turned off by default is beyond me. It’s not that I can’t see a use for it as a cursor pad, but it’s a number pad. That’s just not “use for those keys”. That’s their damned name!

Seems to be semi-abandoned; it’s various project pages are gone
- Although it seems to be getting updates on Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/numlockx?BHT-c733a286-7094-4da1-adae-ea2ecb81ab47.0
