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.

These are notes directly related to your choice of character irrespective of your race/class choice.

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

TODO - make a proper page
TODO - add my notes

This is a language used for World of Warcraft addon programming and general scripting. This is separate from World of Warcraft macros.

Operating Systems >

Linux distributions
Linux tools
/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.

Five Things

five things, live, personal, projects, time management, todo, try harder

Time management >

(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.

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.
