The Windows 3.1 SDK. I bought and read it at University, some decades ago, and I can still write simple C programs for Windows that compile under Windows 2000 and run under Windows 10.

I love Olvwm, way back at university we had Sun workstations. I have run it on Linux, but I don't think it can be readily compiled for 64 bit architectures on Linux. Maybe I'm wrong and someone may have achieved it, but I have never seen as a binary. Still on of my favorites though.

I've been using dual screens on Linux since 2009 and for the last 2 years triple screens.

My current PC is using and nVidia 1660 GPU to drive this.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04. It wasn't out-of-the-box easy to install, but running installer in safe-mode worked and regular boots are as normal.

Even on laptops dual screens work provided the laptop supports it.

I had the opportunity to travel and I met my better half as a result of that trip.

My advice, do something that takes you a bit out of your depth, you could meet new people as a result.

While I wouldn't be looking at a game, I would be looking for enthusiasm. Outright technical skill is important, but also how you dig into problems and push a project forward.

That's the one thing that is missing from the article. Just keeping on the same page as others is also important.

I wonder if this was being planned for June 4th?

Nope, I think the UI is fit for purpose, doesn't need a flatso look and feel or massive space used for static text.

Thanks for building an awesome tool that runs for weeks at a time on my desktop.

Next time, say there is a dead body and you heard gun fire. In the UK you'd get every cop for miles and the TV news.</s>

I also miss my early years, writing programs on a BBC Micros or for Windows 3.0 in Turbo Pascal for Windows. Now everything seems sanitized and no longer challenging.

I think it's the learning experience and result we crave.

I bought a cheap used ultra small form factor PC with an i5, 8GB of RAM, all for less than 200 USD. It even included a licensed copy of Windows 7 Pro, which I don't use.

The HK Government produces some excellent paper maps that have a water resistant coating.

I bought mine in the General Post Office in Central, near IFC. There's also the maps shop at the junction of Nathan Road and Gascoigne Road in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon

Books! I read one that was all about custom controls, must have been about 300 pages and at the end presented code that provided subclassed versions of all the MS Windows 3.1 controls with 3D effects.

Something called "Desk Developer", "Deskdev", "Rapid Application Development" or "RAD".

I was in the Deskdev team in an investment bank for 4 years, great fun and I learned a lot about Excel.
