people will really say “when programming, you will spend most of your time reading code, not writing it” and then follow that with “in vim, your fingers never have to leave the keyboard” and not see any problem with it

this is basically just a genericizing of the makefile rules that i use to build vocab.ladys.computer (here: <git.ladys.computer/Vocab/blob/>), because i’ve decided that that pattern is likely actually useful in a lot of places

it sure won’t be found in developing a third, shittier [networked technology] that you think people will find “easier to use”

my [networked technology] take has always been that the only people who have to use [networked technology] should be the people who want to use [networked technology] and are willing to learn how to use [networked technology]

we have a problem right now where lots of people have to use [networked technology] who don’t want to, but the solution to that problem won’t be found in [networked technology] improvements

My Wii Pointer cursor set is finally finished. It replaces all the default windows mouse cursors with nice and crisp renders of the Wii Pointer hand. And I've thrown in some extra icons too so that every cursor type is updated!! (despite the alt. cursor barely ever being used in Windows >.<)

I'm also releasing the vector image files that I made during the creation of this cursor, as I know a few people wanted high quality versions of the Wii Pointer hand ^^ :hd_dvd_spin:

Downloads and a bit of a longer writeup here:
