    For fun: Reply All https://gimletmedia.com/reply-all/

    For HW: I’m not the biggest fan but you can’t go wrong with The Amp Hour. http://theamphour.com/

    I don’t currently listen to any SW ones.

      I like it simple on my Linux boxes: fluxbox. Uses little RAM, gets out of the way, and especially on Debian integrates with package management to auto-update the root menu. I don’t need a desktop environment.

        Seconding this. Debian menu integration is lovely.

        The world needs a good open source IRC web-based client. Maybe that’s Chapp. Maybe it’s not. Think about it, won’t you?

          I think that’s probably what we should have started with: a cleanly designed client for IRC. That would have been a smarter approach, and had more uptake.

          At this time, we can’t do it, just because Officehours needs all of our attention. In the future, though, who knows? :-)

            Are you sure the world doesn’t need a nicer protocol than IRC? :P

                No, because that’s still IRC, just with more things added on top of it.

            Porting CouchDB 2.0-alpha to Windows. Made a lot of progress over the weekend - I kind of need a break now. This involved getting Erlang 17.5, ICU 55.1, libcurl 44 and SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 to build under VS2013, plus a whole lot of tweaking of various rebar files to get the NIFs to compile correctly.

            It runs, though it crashes in some common scenarios now. For now I’m handing off to my partner in crime, but if others feel like helping my latest notes are online.
