CDE 2.5.3 released

For instance, CDE's window manager dtwm picked up support for more mouse buttons, its file manager dtfile

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions.

The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?

An image forms in the machine.

A classroom.

No trousers.

Anyone hiring a frontend developer in Canada? Circumstances have led me to start looking for my next job sooner than I would have liked.

I excel at working on design systems, cultivating a frontend culture, building with the grain of the web, and creating inclusive user experiences. Reach out if you need help with any of these!

I have deep knowledge of the web fundamentals (HTML/ARIA, CSS, JS) and the frontend ecosystem at large (build tools, frameworks, design tools).

Folks, I've heard more than once that the retro resale market is finally cooling a bit, but I'm here to tell you that I just saw a "rare" AOL CD on eBay for US$995.99, and AOL 1.0 on a pair of 3.5" floppy disks for US$1,499.00.

You can even get an American Airlines-branded AOL CD packaged with a "fruit medley" snack for a mere US$1,250.00.

i do not think my brain is properly wired up today.

"Let me get this straight. Your lab has bred a dragon?"

"A wyvern, director. It has two legs, two wings, whereas a-"

"Which flies, breathes fire, and is intelligent?"

"About as intelligent as a border collie."

"So, intelligent. Why?"

"You asked us to invent measures to take down small drones."
