Technical muse available for consult.

I was instrumental in pushing esports out of South Korea into the global zeitgeist, I guess.

I find enjoyment in learning and making new connections, be they concepts or people.

ClipX has plugins that give you way more features. As a web developer I used the color picker plugin to copy the hex code of the pixel beneath my mouse to the clipboard when a hotkey is pressed, although it could be configured in many other ways.

I've used ClipX since its inception in 2004, and was shocked to learn it was recently updated by the original author for a major 2.0 revision... 18 years later! The FAQ also states that he never sold it, so it remains 100% crapware free.

I used to joke that it took Microsoft until Win 11 to create their own clipboard manager, and even then it didn't hold a candle to the 18 year old ClipX 1.0

As someone who used to submit issues to Gitlab just to see them stagnate for 6-8 years and then ceremonially get closed after being stuck in management/release bump hell (along with many 'me toos' from both Gitlab premium support staff / 3rd party contributors) I agree with your statement 100%.

Ironically the site is now giving a "The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later." Do I blame the cloud?

That's assuming ASML and co would even supply the required tech should that happen.

Would have been a great domain with the rise of AI, shocking they didn't adapt the persona.

What is the rationale behind naming CVEs and individual domains? Marketing?

I desperately miss PureDJ online radio, pretty much exclusively streamed EDM DJ sets. Would do anything to see the archive restored in some fashion.

If you worked on Lost Vikings I'd like to thank you for the entertainment during my childhood. Given your background did you ever get involved in the demo scene?

As long as this doesn't create yet another cookie popup UX nonsense we've ended up with...
