If you find yourself in that part of the world, there's also a carpet museum in Kidderminster, and the Black Country Museum in Dudley. A little bit further north and then there are a slew of industrial museums in Ironbridge.

I'm in the process of messing around with a new distro where things are not quite what I am used to, and the usual suspects have been pretty helpful there... except for when they just make shit up Grok is the only one that swore back a

Back in '94 I remember motherfsking some paper I was writing late at night in the computer lab. I think the wordprocessor was AmiPro, and it was giving me grief to the extent that I was at the point of violence. Another person in the l

`~/.XCompose` is your friend. I frequently input International Phonetic Alphabet glyphs, some polytonic Greek, some Spanish and some Old English. Nothing is more than three key-presses away after an AltGr.

Emacs Web Wowser for the most part, for me, and it basically works... except when it fucking does not. The modern web, as we all know, is all kinds of shit. Anybody here compile Firefox recently?

Writing Perl is easy; reading it a few weeks later is the hard part. CPP I don't know much about… I was a sysadmin, not a programmer <@:) # clown-hat-curly-hair-smiley-face… or, part of a regex

I am about 24 hours into using ghostText after losing a significant amount of effort to a distracted `C-w`. Browser tab gone; much swearing ensued. I was tempted to start logging my own keystrokes after this… but that's not a good idea

Re. ubiquity making things hard to find— Recent application naming is infuriating! Consider, in GNOME, for example, Nautilus vs Files. "GNOME Files" does not, of course, help. Same with "Apple Photos". GRRR! About as hel

Sounds like you use GNUs. A wildebeest to set up, but, once done, nothing quite like it filters the filth.

I used to work in ITS looking after a few token Solaris boxen, and played a hand in inviting Stallman down to campus one year in the early-mid 2000s. I had pizza (appiza?) at Yorkside with RMS, and "Three Davey Gs" (my boss (Gewir

I don't mean to be boring, but Emacs has had a window manager for years, EXWM. Oh, and a browser, EWW. If you want Inception-level recursion, a virtual LISP machine is your friend.

Pop really is a very pleasant experience, and probably the best I've had on a personal computer. 3/4 of my immediate family run it on Thinkpads; the only hold-out is a Gentoo teenager wanting to be "weird".
