ELPDS was another program I wrote in 1995. It stands for "Enhanced Logical & Physical Drive Status" and reports physical disk geometry, partition entries, FAT boot-sector details, and free space. C++

I released slack-ruby-client 3.3.0.

Made a custom markdownlint rule to enforce single-line markdown, no wrapping.

Today was the first time I tried to contribute to a repo that does not allow AI-generated code. I started typing it by hand and just couldn't do it anymore. My hands refused to. I think I forgot how.
