An archive of FASA's Doctor Who RPG from the 1980's. It didn't go very far or very long, so the texts that are there are pretty much all you've got.
Are you ready to travel through space and time to see the wonders and dangers that the universe has to offer? Visit distant alien civilisations, or travel to the distant past, or explore the future. Prevent sinister forces from conquering the universe or meddling with time. All this and more is available within the FASA Doctor Who RPG.
I plan to update the 1985 FASA Doctor Who rules to include the current series. I also plan to include various house rules, new NPC write-ups (from both old and new Doctor Who), and eventually original adventures. Check the Vortex Links for some great Doctor Who/Doctor Who RPG related links.
It's the Hamster Dance. Redone for modern browsers (which means, no Flash).
PyDPainter, pronounced "Pied Painter" (like Pied Piper), is an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame. The original inspiration came from the Commodore Amiga version of Deluxe Paint released by Electronic Arts in 1985. Back then, Deluxe Paint helped define the user interface of a paint program with tool bars, menus, and the novel use of left and right mouse buttons for painting and erasing. After pixel art gave way to photo-realism and high-resolution 24 bit color, Deluxe Paint was largely forgotten for artistic work -- left behind in the ever-progressing march of technology.
Recently, with a resurgence of all things "retro," low-resolution pixel art and limited color palettes have become popular once again. Many tools to deal with this medium are either too complicated or too crude. This project is an attempt to bring back an old but reliable tool and enhance it with some features to help it better coexist in the modern world.
Over 50 Pre-patched fonts designed for enthusiasts who love to rice their terminal, window manager, and more, featuring over 60k icons as glyphs for ultimate customization and flair!
Tweak Mode lets you customize your patched fonts to suit your needs. You can include or exclude specific icon packs from a selected font using the corresponding index file. This index file, available in CSV format, makes it easy to search for glyphs with tools like fzf and can be seamlessly integrated with other tools for enhanced functionality.
Forge Mode allows you to create your own iconic fonts by converting SVG icons into a font format.
Best photos and technical documentation of retro computers, TVs and digital watches that are part of my collection. I document them as my time permits.
EMWM is a fork of the Motif Window Manager with fixes and enhancements. The idea behind this is to provide compatibility with current xorg extensions and applications, without changing the way the window manager looks and behaves. This includes support for multi-monitor setups through Xinerama/Xrandr, UFT-8 support with Xft fonts, and overall better compatibility with software that requires Extended Window Manager Hints.
Additionally a couple of goodies are available in the separate utilities package: XmToolbox, a toolchest like application launcher, which reads it's multi-level menu structure from a simple plain-text file ~/.toolboxrc, and XmSm, a simple session manager that provides session configuration, locking and shutdown/suspend options.

What's there to say? It's Space Invaders in JavaScript!
Create the game, give it a div to draw to, tell it when the keyboard is mashed and that's all you need to add Space Invaders to a website.
This is a simple learning exercise, so the JavaScript is deliberate kept all one file. There's no linting, testing, CI, or anything like that. If you want to see such patterns in front-end JavaScript, check out something like angular-modal-service.

While Macworld and MacUser capture the history of the Macintosh, Byte nicely captures the history of the entire personal computer industry from the early days (Sept 1975) through July 1998 (just two issues shy of 23 years).
Here for your reading pleasure are the first and second installment of the Byte archives, now including the entire run of the magazine.
While some of these magazines are available on Archive.org or as torrents, we've added quite a bunch of issues that had never been scanned before, and all issues have been lovingly restored by Steve M. to look as good as is possible from a magazine scan.

Stone Butch Blues, Leslie Feinberg’s 1993 first novel, is widely considered in and outside the U.S. to be a groundbreaking work about the complexities of gender. Feinberg was the first theorist to advance a Marxist concept of “transgender liberation.” Sold by the hundreds of thousands of copies and also passed from hand-to-hand inside prisons, Stone Butch Blues has been translated into Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Slovenian, Turkish, and Hebrew (with hir earnings from that edition going to ASWAT Palestinian Gay Women). The novel was winner of the 1994 American Library Association Stonewall Book Award and a 1994 Lambda Literary Award.
The 20th Anniversary Author’s Edition of Stone Butch Blues is available in multiple formats. A free PDF can be downloaded from this site, and a hardcopy PoD version can be purchased from Lulu.
