A light window manager. Based on Blackbox. Not bad, but not as good as Blackbox. I liked Openbox more than this.
Blackbox has been obsoleted six ways from Sunday. See versus Blackbox.

EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library module to provide the filesystem interface.
2016-12-28 – I have no memory of using this. Boy will it be awkward if I come across stuff encrypted with it.

A lightweight web browser.
I thought it had hope but needed significant work.

2022-07-12 – Apparently abandoned
- The website is down
- the source code archive as of 202201280 shows the last activity at 2021-02-09. It was a small change and the update previous to that was 2018-10-05.
- The mailing list archive doesn’t tell me enough because it’s an old snapshot.
TODO – add patch notes

A fast, open source, cross-platform Web browser based on the Links web browser.
Where Lynx is the standard console web browser for most Linux distributions and is complete shit, Links is fucking awesome.
I had used this for some time but abandoned it for a while. I’ll try it again eventually.

A windows program to update dynamic DNS services.
I used to use ipcheck. From DynDNS Updater I switched to IPCop‘s dyndns updating support.

2016-12-25 – Blizzard still hasn’t abandoned it yet.
It’s ugly to an extreme, and offensive to my eyes to even look at it. The controls are awkward and hard on my mouse hand.

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.
