Funny to think that writing a window manager once seemed like quite a good use of one's time. I wonder what today's equivalent is.

I still in theory maintain one of mine (wmx), and this thread just prompted me to go and fix a few warnings that newer compilers come up with. Egads, there's some grubby code in there.

Writing your own web framework?

Hey, I remember wmx! That was pretty fun actually! Back in my super-minimalist phase, right between WindowMaker and ratpoison, I actually used it for a while!
