A straightforward mirroring tool, with scheduling, exclusion and other useful features.
Instead of fucking around with some sort of special utility, Karen’s Replicator just does the job. I believe this was my first introduction to her software.

I liked it, but it hated me and had horrible bugs.
I tried Instiki because I wanted to learn to program in Ruby and so I thought I could contribute. However, my creativity was badly maimed by the beta-ness of the project as well as a horrific “rollback” data loss issue. These were issues so horrific that the project should have been halted. Sure, the developer had things to do, but in my mind there was no excuse. I was frustrated enough to delete my entire installation, including some of my original work. Among the things deleted was an article I wrote with a simple resolution to the “Slashdot effect“. Sigh.

An audio player.
A really fucking inexcusably-ugly audio player. Thankfully abandoned.

Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?
- Can use the libSIDPlay2 plugin to play Commodore SID audio. See Oldschool music.
- XMMS2 might have been a replacement, but it’s apparently abandoned too.

bmp was meant to be a GTK port, but it was ultimately abandoned.
