Accidental theme this week: the 1990s.

• Normalization of deviance in software: how broken practices become standard.  Matches every place I’ve ever worked.  (via
• The Advent of Void.  I wish someone would do this with BSD packages.  (via)
• wiby, a 90s-only search engine.  (via)
• What Have We Learned from the PDP-11?  (via)
• VPN recommendations.
• Games on the Net Before the Web, Part 1: Strategy and Simulation.  You will surely have heard of some of these games, even if you never encountered them.
• 90s CD-ROM games.
• The man with a DiscMan.  More 90s.
