You Are Likely To Be Eaten By A Link Wednesday
Writer is a pretty nifty web-based word processor with no real frills. I actually like it because of that simplicity. No distractions, no other programs… just the proverbial blank page. Coupled with the Autohide extension, and I might have some kind of really high-productivity sessions… pffft, yeah, right. Still, it is a cool combination.
I got to thinking, though, that it might be cooler to do other stuff with the fullscreen mode, like using a Commodore 64. (I initially wanted to find a VIC-20 applet, but this is close enough for now.) I’m thinking my next project will be to track down my old set of OS/2 disks and seeing if it’ll install on my ‘reserve’ machine. Man, if I thought it would have done well with 8 MB of RAM, I can only imagine what’ll happen with the maximum it’ll support (because I know for a fact it’s less than the 256 that’s in the machine now).
Then again, maybe productivity isn’t your thing, and you’d much rather take this week’s title gag literally. Or, you could spend an interesting forty-two hours playing a different game.
There’s news about Apple and Apple, and a Norwegian Wood joke in there somewhere. Also, there’s a few cheap shots at Vista going around.
Little gaming done last night; I had other pressing engagements. I did, however, check out the Wii’s backwards-compatibility mode; I’ll cover that in the forums later today.
