I'm not new here.

That, however, is taking nostalgia far beyond any sense of probity. It definitely ain't what it used to be.

tlb of yc fame, turns out, is the guy who wrote the analog-tv-artifact-simulation code in jwz's xscreensaver:

I have little doubt that all of jwz.org text rendering will be fully analogue-simulated once the monstrosity that is the supermajority of the installed base of web browsers supports such folly.

I'm still trying to pry my jaw off the floor. Really, it's a thing of beauty. A sick, sadistic, twisted, nostalgic, mental beauty, but beauty all the same.

And yes, I'm familiar with the xanalogtv screensaver. Among my faves.

$10 for a gimmick program that will get used once?

$10 to tell the person who made it that we approve of the choices he's made in his life.

I bought it because it simply existing brings me joy. It has the best you-haven't-paid-yet nagware implementation ever conceived by man. I never even triggered it (I bought it instantly) and it gives me joy that it exists.

I use Cathode as my regular terminal. What are you trying to say? :-)
