Sorry, updates are going to be slow for a little while. My company is in crunch mode for our next release, so I'm just writing to let y'all know, I haven't abandoned the blog, or my variant. I haven't abandoned nethack either, even though I haven't played my awesome tourist game in ages. The PYEC is such a good artifact.
In the meantime, my mouse's wheel click has started pasting text when it opens links in new windows, as opposed to before when it would open links in new tabs without pasting. All my searching so far has told me that is default functionality in X, and unless I want to hack X (a possibility...), I'm going to have to deal with it.
I wonder why it didn't paste before? It doesn't on my Arch Linux system, which is running X, just on my Linux Mint system. Maybe some update got me. The nice thing about minimalist distributions is that they don't get cluttered with unwanted stuff.
