Industrial-AMP2.wsz | Winamp Skin Museum

=============================================== Industrial-AMP2 � Skin. A different color but very much similar to the Industrial-AMP both in layout and style. Industrial-AMP2 is inspired by the current layout of my website Version - ET with a little touch of rust, anthracite, and raw metal look for the "industrial" part... more like steel works really. I added 1 extra VISCOLOR.txt file (VISCOLOR1) for the "Spectrum Analyzer" visualization for those who want it. Just rename the file from VISCOLOR1.txt --> VISCOLOR.txt. You can modify the visualization if you want and if you know how to do it but please leave all the graphics (images) as is. =============================================== Industrial-AMP skin.

Discord, or the Death of Lore

I chose the life, it didn’t choose me. I could have walked away from it a long time ago, and I’ve certainly shifted my focus over the years. But I still hold the heft and halter, the on…

@driscoll Not sure if you'd encountered this, but I was digging through an archive of ANSI BBS intros and found this bit of UVA history.

New addition to the office collection in my favorite genre of tchotchke: novelty item that uses aesthetics of new technology to sell old technology. (It was, amazingly, purchased mint-in-box.)

Also, I'm still looking for a working cartridge to test if my HitClips works, if anyone has a lead on one.
