This topic tends to be particular to Linux. Other operating systems like Windows have their own “window managers” integrated into every version.

2019-11-16 — While the original project was abandoned long ago, I see that it was forked.
- I don’t really care though, as Openbox is working fine.

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.

The problem with the Mozilla of browsers is that decent functionality isn’t included out of the box. This is what drove me away from Windows and I don’t want to waste my life configuring things anymore.. so I can’t really stand this browser.
- Mozilla: Firebird, Phoenix or whatever other names.

This project is dead – see SeaMonkey.

A hot garbage e-reader program.
It’s all candy and bubblegum like Calibre, making it extremely difficult to navigate and use. I just want to open files and view them. I don’t need a fucking document management system.

The last level from Doom 2 has a certain sound which I’ve heard in movies. Perhaps it came from somewhere else, but I’m forever calling it the Doom sound.
