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.
Properly titled Diablo II

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.

Web server software.
I used it extensively from probably 2002, maybe earlier, for pre-PHP 4 MediaWiki experimentation. It’s a fucking nightmare. Looking at some references, it might be around Apache 1.3

I watched a bunch of it back in the day, but stopped caring.
