This is something like a placeholder or a dead project, and probably has more notes which have not been ported yet.

A legendary platform in its time, it’s not relegated to being an oldschool computer.

MediaWiki and PHP5

As of MediaWiki 1.4.0 this became mostly obsolete.

MediaWiki, PHP >

For a long time, MediaWiki didn’t support PHP5 and was actively unsupportive of it.

As such, I had to figure out compatibility for myself.

A DOS emulation program.

Absolutely essential for emulating DOS not just within Windows or a traditional Linux environment, but within ARM/Linux as well, for palmtops and phones.

For games I’ve played via it, see /tag/dosbox-games (although the tag is new and not populated well)

An father takes his kid on a motorcycle road-trip across the United States, and recalls his past life, when he was insane, and the philosophies he had drowned in.

A terrible book, full stop.

Properly titled Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
ISBN 9-780688-002305
Earlier I had read ISBN-10 0553277472

Apache PHP MySQL PhpMyAdmin bundled for Windows.

This ran my earlier content management system for a while. I don’t recall if it was the first bundled server stack that I used.

https://bravewords.com/home doesn’t seem to note these any more.
KnuckleTracks ^[ 1 ] Earlier archives note previous editions.

KnuckleTracks and Blood Tracks were CD samplers of (usually) heavy metal music from various bands. They came with the (physical) magazine Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles.

I had lots of exposure of hard rock and heavy metal before my collecting Knuckletracks, but this was my grand induction into the world of Heavy Metal and what I would later learn is called Goth or Gothic Metal.
