A renown video editing program which even to this day is faster than most other editors.
Software >
The default fancy text editor GUI from Windows.
It’s probably awesome, but I’ve basically never used it.

Aliens destroy the world, and survivors band together to fight back using power armour.
A fantastic game, the likes of which I have never seen.
Unfortunately, it was abandoned.
Respark is attempting to be Firefall’s spiritual successor.

Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.
Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.
See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.

The spiritual successor to Armada 2525[doesn’t exist].
Boring to me. I probably would have liked it well enough back in the day.

abandoned original: https://github.com/tylerhall/simple-url-shortener
forked: https://github.com/cargilcm/simple-url-shortener
Make your own URL shortener. e.g. for the owner of example.com links can be shortened like so:
example.com/some-long-url
to
example.com/abcd2
Impressively simple and easy to use. I chose it because it has one single very small script.
2024-08-17 – Abandoned: https://tyler.gd/3qumd is dead; I found a fork which seems maintained.

Be a robo-ninja and stuff; another one of these “run around and mash buttons” games, but with an awkward wall running mechanic that you ignore and instead run around and mash buttons.
It’s a piece of shit that doesn’t have working controls at all. How did this make it through alpha?

Everything is frail to failure. Be it hardware, software, data, business relationships, or people, nothing is immortal and immutable.
Many things are immediately recognized; the hardware and software, but we fail to see people; the wetware. They represent the intellectual backbone of major projects, the “wet infrastructure” upon which our technology relies, and when they cannot contribute, their projects suffer and we suffer. Their influence isn’t just notable, but critical.
For the internet, esr calls them Load-Bearing Internet People.
