Yeah, screen is definitely one of my favs, right up there with ssh, gcc, grep, sed, awk, and vi. I luuuve being able to start something from work, detach the screen session, and then reattach from home to check on it. But somebody wanted non-administrative tools, so I started thinking then it hit me: Penguin Commander Thats my favorite game (this week). Its a cool remake of the old "Missile Commander" game from the old Atari 2600 and arcade days. I stumbled accross it while looking for some work related stuff Tuesday and have been hooked ever since. Other favortie games of mine include the original "dungeon" text based game and "xbomber", a remake of "BomberMan", an MS-DOS game. BomberMan is great at LAN parties. Up to 6 (or is it 8?) people run their guys around and set bombs on a 2D game board to try and trap each other. If you get trapped you end up in a little pile of ashes complete with a "Aaieeee" scream :-) Sometimes the (deceptivly) simplest games generate the most laughter and competition when you're having fun. I've been at more than one Quake party that turned into a BomberMan-fest. My favorite business app right now is OpenOffice (StarOffice). It feels sooo good to not have MS Office on any of my machines! And lastly, KStars, a cool little star chart program that is part of the KDE project. On Friday 10 October 2003 10:32 am, John J.
