I’m sort of proud of how wide a range of topics are covered this week.

• Domain Name Scams Are Alive And Well, Thank You.  I’ve been seeing that scam since… 2007?  Less disruptive than wire transfer spearphishing, which appears more common, recently.
• Frameworks don’t make much sense.
• The 7drl (7-day roguelike) Challenge just completed.  (via)
• Universal Install Script.
• What was system administration like in the 1990s and earlier?
• EigenCoder: Programming Stereotypes.  Beards vs. programming language.  Really!  (via)
• X11fs – X window virtual filesystem.  (via)
• Let’s Read the AD&D 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual.  Exactly what it sounds like.  Fun and/or nostalgic.  (via)
• Why Compatibility And Support Don’t Justify $1000 Optics.  (via)
• glittering.blue.  The source link has how it was constructed, and its life through reposting.
• Exhibit: The Entropy Archives.  The “public randomness beacon” from NIST.  (via)
• The Deep History of Your Apps.  A good history of the Alto, NeXTSTEP, and so on up to the modern app store.  (via)
