A taskbar.
After some work, this can be made sensible. I prefer LXPanel or fbpanel.

Problem: Can I get more value for my blades?
- Do I pay too much for blades?
- Are there better blades for sensitive skin or unskilled use?
-
Are there blades which are more durable, granting more uses?
Several years ago I had a vague interest in looking up the history of women in science.
I don't think I ever had any particular notes, but I'll drop a page here just in case.

At best, my computer hangs when prompting for a password. I think this is related to the 4.4.14 kernel but have not confirmed this.

These instructions are a lot easier than they seem, and a smart and patient beginner will be able to follow them!
- These notes were made from instructions from Slackware "current", as of 2016-11-05, and have been tested on Slackware 14.2, and 14.2 32bit.

These notes were made on an everyday system with one hard drive which I completely formatted for this purpose.
- If you are a new user, it is strongly recommended that you remove all hard drive's your using and do this on a spare unused/empty drive.

This concept and these notes build a full-disk Slackware installation which also uses LVM. You can safely ignore the entire LVM post and just follow this one.

Yet another "everything" wiki, starting from fork of Wikipedia (Mediawiki)
Just as creationwiki.org exists for their biblical worldview, Infogalactic exists to separate itself from Wikipedia's increasingly-disturbing ideologies and general untrustworthiness.

2017-01-21 -- Since President of the United States was not updated, this project is being abandoned.
- It's obvious this is an under-loved project, and I'm not willing to take it on to keep it updated.

2016-10-24 -- I migrated this website's use of Wikipedia links to Infogalactic links.
- Yes, it was really that trivial. I planned ahead for this.
Problem: I have a messy old Windows installation, and I want to reinstall it from scratch. However, I own Windows 8, applied the Windows 8.1 upgrade, and then got the free upgrade to Windows 10. I don't have a Windows 10 installation disk.
I don't want a new disk, I want a USB stick.
I don't want Windows itself booting from a USB stick, just the installer on it.
I wanted to play Okami on my PlayStation 2 again. My old monitor had an S-Video input, but newer ones do not.
There are little adapters and adapter-cables, but those will not work on most monitors. They are a sort of "straight through" adapter which rely on the monitor understanding the signal a certain way. I bought a "HDV-G3000 PS2 to HDMI Video Audio Converter Adapter 1080P" which did not work.
Solution: Most people have RCA connectors, but what you really want is to have the highest-quality output from the PS2 and convert it using a device. So you take the high-quality cable for a PS2, which gives you S-Video output, and plug that into a converter box. The plus side is you can do upscaling and probably video switchboxing.
I ended up getting:
An two-source audio mixer, so I can use one set of speakers for my computer and the PS2 is another project I only briefly looked at and haven't started yet.
Exploring this concept.
I got burnt out and bored pretty quickly, but here are some notes.. I guess.
This is just a placeholder while I find my old links
