It’s my nature to gain and lose interest in things, like the tides coming and going. I’ve tried all sorts of tricks to schedule and change focus, but they just don’t work for me. So I’m going to declare a new way of doing things. A way which works to my advantage. I’ll call it “rotating immersion“.

A man page is not documentation!

Since wmctrl didn’t have quality documentation, I made it myself.

I had some significant attempts using this to run World of Warcraft, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.

Image viewers

See:

- (on Linux, live)

An image viewer is essential to any contemporary computer, and it’s something that’s taken for granted.

It’s a really simple concept, and one which is apparently impossible for most programmers to get right. If you’re one of those image viewer programmers, drop by so I can slap you upside the head. Do you think you’re users want to launch your program to view one image and have your program stop to build 10,000 icons in that directory?

Ramen noodles: Just because it's edible doesn't mean it's food.

Food preparation.

Eating is a big part of life, but it’s something many people don’t concern themselves with nearly enough.

The goal of this project is to create lists of recipes which cater to the lazy bastard in all of us. The ingredients will be common and cheap, and the food will be of extraordinary nutritional value.. why? Well, the more nutritious a meal is, the less one has to eat to stay healthy.. and the less one has to eat the more food there will be.. and the more food there will be the less one has to cook!
