Reconfigures for your action bars. It retains the design of the standard interface, which reduces the screen clutter.

An absolutely spectacular simplification of the UI.

Brings three of your bars to the middle.
Brings the remaining two bars to the right-hand side, and hides them unless your mouse is over that area.
Takes the blizzard stuff, and hides it in the bottom-right corner unless your mouse is over that area.

https://github.com/spiralofhope/_DevPad.GUI

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.

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.

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 ^[ 1 ] Note that World of Warcraft's programming is separate from it's macros. , but I ended up losing interest in it and in programming in general.

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..

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.
