Bits & Bytes is back

Webmistress — Mon, 18 May 2026 12:39:22 +0000

I renamed my blog “Bits” to its original name today, “Bits & Bytes.” It’s a little thing, but I wanted to honour my 30 years of web development and how it became a part of my career and personal growth.

Homage to twm

Used QEMU to set up an Arch Linux VM today for only one thing… To pay homage to twm, “Tom’s Window Manager” or “Tab Window Manager,” the most minimalist window manager on Linux I know.

Back in 2003 when I was unemployed, I had to sell my high-end PC to pay rent. Went back to an old Pentium I, slow and low on resources, but it worked! Surprisingly customisable, and even did some web dev with it. Thanks for helping me get stuff done in those times!
