Oh wow... This is something special! I found an early pre-release version of "Castle of the Winds" .. v0.5.4. This was apparently released exclusively for Microsoft employees back in the day.

I think it's an awesome collector's piece! My gratitude goes to "iamxray" for his generous upload.

Here's where I found it:

Dear followers, some of you may know that there is a state in Brazil suffering from a severe climate catastrophe. Well, this state is called Rio Grande do Sul, and I live here. We've been dealing with almost 2 weeks of heavy rain, which made many rivers and lakes to flood, one of them in my hometown, the capital Porto Alegre. Many of my friends had to abandon their houses and some of them lost everything. Since a decade ago we've been dealing with a extreme neoliberal agenda that promoved heavy economic austerity in the capital and in the whole state. Now, the government doesn't have resources to save and protect the people for the next calamities. We are on our own. So, I'll post here a link of a very respectable social organization from Brazil, the movement for homeless workers (MTST) which is accepting international donations. THIS IS A SERIOUS POST, NOT A SCAM, you can search the topic on your own if you want.

Link for donations:

@moshboy a 1913 e.j. sullivan illustration titled "skeleton amid roses" from "the rubaiyat of omar khayyam," used in the '60s/'70s on grateful dead poster/album art & now part of their iconography.

I wonder how many people believe in the idea of Using Title Case for Emphasis. To me it just seems like a fun way to Make Phrases Seem Important without needing access to formatting tools.

this stats screen on After Dark Solitaire is a pretty accurate representation of how the last year of my life has gone

it's like recruiters don't care about the job you _want_, only the job you _had_

every single "looking for a job" website on the internet has been meta-gamed half to death or is a huge vector for spam and scams. there's got to be a better way to see who just has goddamn work available and will talk to me about it, without it just being recruiters for BigMegaCorp wanting me to do the exact job I don't want anymore.

no matter how much I erase the skills from old job and rewrite my profile to say "I am not interested in working in semiconductors!" the recruiters keep coming.

@TonicBH ...update, i have just discovered the attached copyright information. yup that's EA alright
