DOS Box – play older DOS games on your PC or Mac
(Cross posted at XSet so they have something to read!)

What’s goin’ on?
I promised a life update and so you shall have one.

Meme time (1 of 2)
A pretty random collection of thoughts as seen at World of Soil:
1. Your favourite swear word?
Twat! It slams off the tongue like a shotgun blast plus it always reminds me of Blazing Saddles – “Shut up you Teutonic Twat…”
2. Your most disliked swear word?
Dunno. I think most of them have their place in this world [...]
