An in-game text editor and addon authoring tool (Lua).

Keep notes with it, write Lua scripts, or prototype addon concepts in its trimmed down development environment. Organize your scripts into folders and share them with other _DevPad users. Scripts can run automatically on login like mini addons, and can call each other like libraries or dependencies.

An absolutely spectacular AddOn that I'm not sure I can live without.

Shopping >

Some stores don't ship to your country.
Receiving a gift is great, but receiving it from a stranger is worrying because it's a breach of privacy.

This project was originally thought about from the perspective of a webcam model, but I'm thinking about it from the perspective of shipping Soylent from the United States to Canada.

/tag/shell-scripting
- /tag/shell-scripting-languages (sh is the base)
Strongly tied with GNU software.
- Strong enough for there to be a GNU/Linux argument. An argument strong enough for me to want to side with just "Linux" by removing GNU software which has, for years, been abysmally-documented at best. It's better now, but the hate is still there.
- See /tag/gnu-software for a partial list.

To mix it with Windows, check out Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Good time management is an incredible stress-reducer.

I think I've been able to bring my various experiences to a time management system which works for me.

(new entry)

Problem: I collect information, and I need a mechanism to process it. My going through old links or performing smaller tasks is random.

Solution: Do at least five interesting things each day. Create new posts or a summary post of any edits or other interesting things.

Suggestions follow..

DVD ripping

2014-07-26

archivism, HOWTO, live, optical drives, projects

This is not quite a live projects -- there's lots to learn!

This is primarily for movie-DVDs, with instructions for Linux. Another topic covers ripping audio.

Use cases:

Backup discs you own, before disc rot sets in.
Rip discs and keep them safe
- e.g. parents with little kids (or drunken friends) who damage discs.
Playing on DVD-driveless devices
- (or devices where the DVD player has stopped working)
- Such as a phone or portable media player.
  - e.g. a portable player for road trips.

See /tag/world-of-warcraft

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.

Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you're already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.

Once anything comes along that's decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2.
