A programming language of some note.
I had some small interest in this language, primarily because it’s used for World of Warcraft addon programming and general scripting , but I ended up losing interest in it and in programming in general.

A program to present a commandline dialog, letting a scripter get user input.
Capable enough for everyday scripts. Capable enough that to get a “GUI” dialog, I would rather spawn a terminal and use dialog.

Seems to be semi-abandoned; it’s various project pages are gone

Hides the mouse after inactivity.
For such a simple idea and small tool, this is an important program for me.

Monitors X activity, and runs a program
I use this for slock to lock the screen after inactivity.

A simple screen saver.
Combined with xautolock, this does everything it needs to.
