A cross-platform open-source animation program.

I didn't want to deal with Blender, so I checked this out for simple animations. So far, so good. Even at a glance it could have been done far better, but maybe I can make do.

A plugin that generates a basic mobile-friendly theme.

It's not great, but it'll do for now.

Chocolatey: babun
https://babun.github.io/

A customized Cygwin for Linux on Windows: Zsh, Bash, git and other Linux software, all pre-configured.

Can install other software provided by Cygwin.

712, 774 - apparently abandoned, last updated 2016-05-02.
- The main contributors are still alive, I see them posting on their Twitters.
- I'll likely move to pure Cygwin, and get my common applications installed. That should be easy, but who the hell knows with Linux.

My configuration specific to Babun is currently scattered throughout my git repository, just findinall Babun (using my findinall() )

Delete old revisions and optimize your WordPress database.

This halved the size of my database.

An amazing (and amazingly-expensive) DVD ripper. Can work with other disks.

I've used this to back up my old DVD discs into .iso files.

War for the Overworld - (2015 game) image

An awkward dungeon management game, with walls you can't dig out, rooms you build but don't know how much of or what size, and an interface that could only be inspired by a 1980s DOS game.

Absolutely not recommended.

Inspired by Dungeon Keeper - (1997 game)

An operating system most notably on mobile phones, but also found on media boxes.

Fundamentally flawed - It is tethered to Google in as many ways as they've made possible. From a time server, to internet traffic compression. From google play requiring an account requiring your verified phone number. From hoops to download and install software from their store. It's fucking awful.
