Ren'Py is a visual novel engine – used by thousands of creators from around the world – that helps you use words, images, and sounds to tell interactive stories that run on computers and mobile devices. These can be both visual novels and life simulation games. The easy to learn script language allows anyone to efficiently write large visual novels, while its Python scripting is enough for complex simulation games.

You too can create a visual novel with this software. Of course it might not look like manga, it might just look like whatever artist draws for the novel.

Kodi | Open Source Home Theater Software

Well, I sorted KODI out.

The stumbling point was that all the online tutorials seemed to either show the WRONG screens, or show a Windows file (that is, the tutorials were for KODI installed on a Windows machine). I just couldn't find out WHERE the external hard drive was!!!!

The other apps on the media centre listed the external drive fine, and then you'd plough through the file system to find the media file to play. It worked, but was not much better than what I had before. The key was to BROWSE on the Add Files dialog, and look through the ROOT FILE SYSTEM. The external drive was found with an incomprehensible name under the storage directory.

So I've done all that, and now KODI is "refreshing the media I have, adding descriptions, thumbnails, genres and other useful information on the files. VERY HAPPY with this. I think I might just do a brief tutorial on this, or at least post in several spots about what to do.

I finally had to recharge my phone (I use a pre-paid account) and I noticed stupid adverts from Touchpal. in the notifications. Now I can't remember ever installing Touchpal, but maybe they come with a HUWAEI phone preinstalled. Anyway, I uninstalled it after installing GBOARD. Looks a lot more helpful, and easier to use, like adding an extra numbers row and resizing the keyboard. Apparently there's an iPhone version as well.

The open source Firebird® relational database management system performs excellently and scales impressively, from an embedded, single-user model to enterprise-wide deployments with multiple 2Tb+Gb databases running with hundreds of simultaneous clients.

Never heard of this before - perhaps because it may be aimed at a different type of end user.

GrafX2 is a bitmap paint program inspired by the Amiga programs ​Deluxe Paint and Brilliance.

GrafX2 is a bitmap paint program inspired by the Amiga programs ​Deluxe Paint and Brilliance. Specialized in 256-color drawing, it includes a very large number of tools and effects that make it particularly suitable for pixel art, game graphics, and generally any detailed graphics painted with a mouse.

I love that style of graphic image, has become a genre.
