I liked it, but it hated me and had horrible bugs.
I tried Instiki because I wanted to learn to program in Ruby and so I thought I could contribute. However, my creativity was badly maimed by the beta-ness of the project as well as a horrific “rollback” data loss issue. These were issues so horrific that the project should have been halted. Sure, the developer had things to do, but in my mind there was no excuse. I was frustrated enough to delete my entire installation, including some of my original work. Among the things deleted was an article I wrote with a simple resolution to the “Slashdot effect“. Sigh.

I really thought Guild Wars had it all when I learned of it. I went out and found all of the resources i could, and noted all the specs and rumours and whatnot. I ended up becoming a beta tester for it and everything.
Sadly, during gameplay I was very severely disappointed and walked away. I went back to try it a second time and what I considered to be very serious and obvious issues were not and apparently would not be addressed. This topic only remains for amusement’s sake, as a testament to my ability to waste huge amounts of time for nothing.
- Note that I am bound by a beta tester’s NDA, so I cannot discuss the various things which went on during my time as a tester.

An audio player.
A really fucking inexcusably-ugly audio player. Thankfully abandoned.

Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?
- Can use the libSIDPlay2 plugin to play Commodore SID audio. See Oldschool music.
- XMMS2 might have been a replacement, but it’s apparently abandoned too.

bmp was meant to be a GTK port, but it was ultimately abandoned.
just a placeholder
was cooledit.sourceforge.net
An editor I probably tinkered with around May 2003.
I don’t know if this is actually written in Python, but I have it noted as being good for editing Python scripts.
Just noted here for reference.
I have no notes on this, but used it back in my Windows 3.11 (not for workgroups) days. This is before 2003.

Web server software.
I used it extensively from probably 2002, maybe earlier, for pre-PHP 4 MediaWiki experimentation. It’s a fucking nightmare. Looking at some references, it might be around Apache 1.3
