General Software

• Slackware Linux - The only OS I use.
• Sawfish - The only window manager I ever use. Never with desktop effects.
• Firefox
• Nheko or Element - Clients for Matrix, my preferred chat platform
• Terminology - A blazing fast terminal.

Development Tools

Programming Languages

• Steel Bank Common Lisp - My preferred language.

• Nim - A language I desperately want to love, but rarely use for various reasons.

Doom/Quake Mapping

• Eureka - My preferred level editor for Doom. I use a slightly customized version.
• K8Vavoom - My preferred Doom engine. I’m unhappy with the developer’s position on various things, however, so I may fork this eventually.
• Doomsday Engine - My other preferred Doom engine.
• Ultimate Doom Builder - The level editor I use when I have to build UDMF maps for Doom. I use a very out-of-date version because I got tired of updates breaking the whole thing on me. I try not to use this unless I have to.
• Dwaddle - A collection of tools I’ve written for Doom.
• Slade - For the things that Dwaddle can’t yet do.
• TrenchBroom - For Quake mapping. I use a slightly older version.
• QuakeSpasm-Spiked - A nice, fast Quake engine. I use both it and its direct parent, QuakeSpasm.
