GitHub - davidrlunu/dots-and-dashes: Here are some of my dotfiles, little projects and relevant config files.

This is a conky interface with a bit of py and sh here and there. Got inspo from various vidya and films for creating this and it's projected to be rendered on a 1920x1080 display. If you have greater or lower resolution, please feel free to adapt it for your needs.

It uses a color scheme of a maximum of three colors (including all the images) so it is easy to change it as you prefer with a maximum of three lines of bash.

Farewell to Beyond the Beyond

In 2003, Eileen Gunn's pioneering online sf magazine shut down, and so did @bruces' early seminal blog, the Schism Matrix.

But thankfully, that wasn't the end of Bruce Sterling's blogging career: Wired gave him an (unpaid) online home for a new blog, every bit as cranky, esoteric, gnomic and darkly comic as Bruce himself: Beyond the Beyond.

Now, Beyond the Beyond is done. Wired publisher Conde Nast is in such deep financial trouble that they're realizing minuscule savings like those to be gleaned from shutting down an unpaid blog.
