World of Warcraft > AddOns >

www.cosmosui.org

A large bundle of AddOns.

Had some great parts, but the overall project philosophies weren’t compatible with mine and I replaced their AddOns whenever possible. BUT I wouldn’t do that at the expense of a great addon so it stayed in my toolbox for a while.

Their updater is complete crap. Avoid.

Operating Systems > Windows >

(on Wikipedia)

An incredibly popular operating system, and a benchmark from to many other applications and newer operating systems are compared.

Released 2001-10-25

  • aka urxvt
  • It is not tabbed, use one of the /tag/terminal-multiplexers (I currently use this one).

    • Okay, technically it’s tabbed with the “tabbed” perl extension:
      \urxvt -pe tabbed

Software > startup > X >

There are several pages for it, but I have this one working:
https://github.com/dlitz/xtoolwait

Xtoolwait notably decreases the startup time of an X session by reducing the load on the X server and Linux.

It starts an X client in the background, waits for a window to be mapped on the root window, and then exits. It can improve performance for users who start a bunch of X clients automatically (for example, xterm, xlock, xconsole, whatever) when the X session starts.
