(Post title is a lie; only one of these programs is by a guy named Dan.)

Nowadays, it is expected that every program you need will come from a centralized depository, or “the app store,” guaranteed to be functional and trusted. But crusty garage salers we, we sometimes enjoy using third-party software gotten from websites that look like they haven’t had a style update in twenty years, run by a random guy named Dan. Blessings upon the Dans of the world, who have made our computing experience infinitely better! And what is a blog for if not to advertise these random programmers?

(All of these programs are for Windows. Linux had all these things either built in or easy to get.)

wonderful mostly-free programs by randos sometimes named Dan )

EDIT: BuildBooklet by our friend Leaf. She made this so we could make print-order PDFs of our comics using DrRacket (a bigger project she worked on). Doesn't work on Windows XP, but it works on Linux and Windows 7 and later! It does exactly what it's supposed to do! A+ work helper that freed me from having to rely on Adobe!

So here’s to the Dans. Cheers! Do you have any “guy named Dan” programs that you swear by?

Junior Year: Rogan

D is getting increasingly concerned about our not-relationship.

This is the one place where we don't have to do what they expect us to do. )

This is a silly post of a silly photo and also Rawlin's new hair style.

Rawlin enjoyed having hair that read as feminine to humans, but discovered she REALLY cannot stand the sensation of hair on the back of her neck in summer. She mostly wore it in a topknot, but then she could not be petted, which is a tragedy, so she asked Mori to cut her hair in something short but femme, so now she's not too far off from where she was at in the start.

Telling you the context for this photo will not help or improve anything, so we just aren't going to tell you what it is, just that no Tiptoes were harmed in the making of this photograph.
