 Di> lol. Even though my heads up my ass and you don't like to hear from me, 
 Di> I'll challenge you this one, somehow I got one from about 10 years ago 
 Di> I'll share with ya:

Where did you ever get the idea I didn't like you? Because of the Mystic
debacle? As much as you're probably not in the least bit worried about what I
think, that topic was squashed and I'm over it. I don't hold anything against
you in the future, nor do I care to hold grudges against anyone in the BBS
scene. lol

 Di> It says Monday, Nov 11th, which would be 2002, 11 years ago, wow. The 
 Di> friend on the other end sent me his fluxbox customization in return:

I'd have to say that my fluxbox setup was quite a bit more extensive than
either of those. I think I like yours better though, the background of the
other guy's would probably piss me off and/or blind me while trying to read the
transparent xterm window.

 Di> And here's a windowmaker customization from around that time:

Yikes! Very bright for my taste, but it's setup quite well and everything
matches. Then again, you mentioned that these were over a decade old, so I'm
sure even your taste has changed these days.

 Di> Boy am I glad I stopped customizing and fooling with .rc files! Who the 
 Di> hell has time for that anymore! People are now storing their .dotrc 
 Di> files as projects on github, its the "in" thing to do, lol. I'm 
 Di> actually a little sad that vim doesn't do the python help I like out of 
 Di> the box and requires about ~1 page of .vimrc, I'm very much now of the 
 Di> mantra "just use the tool how it comes by default", but vim doesn't do 
 Di> syntax checking of python code out of the box D: (or maybe it does, the 
 Di> most recenty version is very python integrated?) (i use 'pyflakes' for 
 Di> this, btw)

I definitely don't share my configurations with anyone or anything, unless they
ask how I did something or whatever. I don't mind tinkering around with the
fluxbox configuration, if I have some free time and don't fill it with anything
else more productive. I don't do it on a daily basis or anything, and to be
honest, I haven't had fluxbox running anywhere around here for over a year. All
of my current running linux setups don't have a GUI at all, and then my Windows
7 box is mainly for gaming and hosting Linux VMs. :)

Regards,
Nick
