the library of Forgotten Realms lore

now this is truly a gem: dedicated to hyper-specific content in a manner befitting The Directory, but also: image links that glow onMouseOver(), frames, inconsistent use of java script:openwindow(), a community forum that is somehow still active, a FAQ whose last updated timestamp was 20 years ago

djb is a cryptographer who has written a lot of things about the sort of data structures, numerical computation, safe programming in the UNIX environment, etc, things that you'd expect a cryptographer to care about

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection - the author of PuTTY has written a puzzle game library and they are surprisingly fun.

"This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK) and on Windows. They can also be played on the web, as Java or Javascript applets. I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever else you were doing.

net was always my personal favourite

this is awesome but it's also weirdly hosed up that some things are just transmitting from somewhere to somebody and nobody knows what they are!!!

Hi, this noise has recently appeared on top band, 160m and I wondered if anyone has any idea of it's origin. Speculation is that it is over the horizon radar coming from France. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since it is destroying a UK net that has been running on 1933 for many years.

feels right in line with a USENET post from A Fire Upon the Deep

Sorry, rotor, I forgot what thread I was in :shobon:

Content! Not strictly web related but certainly hypermedia-adjacent: If Monks Had Macs is a collection of HyperCard stacks that got turned into edutainment CD-ROMs that are now available in-emuation on the Internet Archive.

quote:

It's a hearty stew of interactive books, games & music. At its center is a journaling program that helps you:

1. Easily pull ideas out of your journals for use in your writing.
2. Apply the insights of psychologists such as Ira Progoff as you explore your inner life.

If Monks had Macs is an eclectic 24 volume guide to some shining moments of Western Civilization. If Monks had Macs is 24 volumes � 4 collections of interactive media, one on each side of our 4-sided revolving bookcase.

If Monks had Macs was released for free by its creator in 2010 on http://www.rivertext.com/

It's truly one of those experiments in digital creation that could have only been done in the '90s before anybody knew what the rules of the medium were.
