Pretty window for consoles (not a shell)

SourceForge.net: Project Info - Console

Console is a Win console window enhancement.

Update: I can't get this bastard to copy from the console, rendering it effectively useless.

Update2: Apparently, the proportional font that it defaults to (because the font specified in the console.xml is not installed on my system) does not work copy and paste. (No proportional fonts do.) After setting it to Andale Mono, all is well.

Apparently, not having a language set in IE can cause issues with XMLHttp.

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit

Download details: Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools

I downloaded this, but found that it refused to install on Windows 2000.

So, I installed msi2xml from sourceforge and went to work.


  1. First, run rktools.exe. This will extract the files to a temp directory.
  2. Go to the temp directory (the newest directory in your windows temp directory) and copy the files to a safe place.
  3. Change to the directory where you copied the files
  4. Run "msi2xml --dump-streams=. rktools.msi"
  5. The utilities are all in "Cabs.winrk.cab". You can extract them with WinZip.

Introduction to the Cthulhu Mythos

kuro5hin.org || Introduction to the Cthulhu Mythos

The Cthulhu Mythos is a branch of horror fictions which has stood the test of time. Begun more than 80 years ago, it's not quite a shared background, not quite a genre of it's own, not quite a series of homages and inside jokes by the writers who created it, but it has elements of all of these (along with some damn fine story-telling). It has inspired some hoaxes and conspiracies, some terrible movies, and even a few popular video games.
