It doesn't do anything for shareholder value, but I love it.

I like to throw cress seeds into unattended keyboards

Classic joke at university was to sprinkle cress seeds on the carpet of someone's room and water it with a fine mist from a plant sprayer. In the morning the inhabitant would wake up to a neat lawn that had appeared overnight by magic.

OK, now I'm having flashbacks of astronomy Macintosh lab, late at night, too much homework (early 90's).

Fell asleep in front of keyboard, woke up to "Can of Worms" screensaver (never seen it before), had a heck of a start, wondering what the sound was, and what all those things were crawling all over the screen???

These useless programs are like what you used to see back in win98 or winxp with dancing monkey or scoopydoo walking all over your desktop windows, which I think later turned to human dancers before being used to distribute all sort of viruses.

"BonziBuddy was described as spyware[1] and adware,[2] and was discontinued in 2004 after Bonzi Software, Inc. faced lawsuits and fines regarding the software.[3]"

It's just a matter of time before something like a "Zoltar screensaver for Basecamp" becomes an IP siphon.

Woah, my interests! Anyone have any tips or favorite projects to share from procedural vine/flora generation? It's a fascinating space, and this extension seems to do surprisingly convincing job of it

I like it!

I have a ton of these tabs. I don't consider them "neglected" though.

Some things take years to come to fruition. You can't just go buy them at home despot.

Maybe younger people don't yet have an appreciation for things that assume an air of legacy and heritage after many years of "just sitting there".

When finally re-visited, they have a meaning that can only accumulate with the passage of significant time...
