Dave Gauer
Howdy, I’m Dave Gauer. I’ve worked in web technologies since the late 1990s. Some interests: computer programming of all kinds, Linux/BSD/Unix, art, books (genre fiction, computing, history, biographies, art monographs), film, music (metal!), boardgames, and watching small creatures in the back yard.

Hey RSS readers! Time for another RSS-only article. I really need to vent about this because two days later, it's still bothering me...
My first ever year wrap-up. Also, 2024 is happening, but not happening...
A short parable by Franz Kafka describes our crummy code? I think so and it feels good to escape this fate...
All of a sudden, I realized I never fully made the transition from Thunderbird to aerc for email and...I never will and...that's okay! If you're not sure if that's okay or not for *you*, maybe this page will be a comfort...
A UI programming "hack" in which your mileage varies and the dead return to extract vengeance upon the living.
Why and how you should preserve your projects for your future self (and possibly other people too) to enjoy!
