- JujuEdit - Text Editor - I was feeling nostalgic and decided to see if the Windows text editor was still available. Not only did I find it, but I was still able to install it. I enjoyed reading the blog at Jujusoft at one time, and even did some coding in Mark's text editor. Do not expect much, it has not been updated since 2006.
- 20 years of Gmail - The Verge - I was one of the very early users of Gmail, I had invites when they were valuable. At the time I offered them up to readers of my blog. I had very positive feelings about Google at the time. I stopped using Google and Gmail in 2013, first moving to Lavabit and then to Protonmail and I have been with Protonmail ever since. Keen readers may realize there was a windows in there between Lavabit shutting down and Protonmail being available. While I searched for a solution, I used my even older Yahoo mail account. I do keep my Gmail account active so that no one tries to utilize it to impersonate me. Virtually zero emails go through my Gmail account.
Cheers! 🍺
