Another cool discovery today. Completely by accident found a manual for some third-party Apple Lisa software.

I guess this makes sense, although Lisa was so unpopular I never ever even thought of non-Apple software for it.

But here we go, desktop publishing software for the poor Lisa!

It’s funny how at work I am basically building software like this, 40 years later.

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
