PHILOSOPHY:
. I'm a tvtwmer.
. That's just how I am.
. On Friday, I upgraded from plaine aulde X to GNOME and enlightnment.
. On Friday, I suffered pain.
. You see, I'm stuck with '97 technology and my laptop only does 800x600.
. On Saturday, I wrote a tvtwm theme for enlightenment.
. Yes, I understand that's not the right thing to do but...
. On Sunday, I wrote a clock.
. On Monday, I'll start on a new panner. Pager, in GNOMEspeak.
. And a ppp thing.
. And a launcher.
. Then, I'll be happier.
. Expect these and more minimalist toys from me in the future.
