Announcement: Blackbox Users Surveyby Miguel Garza

This is a survey of and for Windows Blackbox shell (BB4Win, bbLean, Bluebox, or Xoblite) users. So Win *box developers and plugin writers are free to take the survey too. It is meant, I admit, to satisfy my curiosity as a Windows Blackbox user, and also to hopefully reveal Windows Blackbox usage trends that might not otherwise be visible. It is meant as a service to Win *box users and developers, who will better be able to see how people are using *box shells.

Review: LSCP2 by Sergey Gagarin

Sunny Saxena has arrived with a pithy review of an awesome utility: the Litestep Control Panel, version 2. We at Shell-Shocked fully believe that after you update your system with this, your desktop will turn to you and sigh "Was it good for you too?" Read on to find out how you too can say "Yes".

Tutorial: Theming Litestep by Paul Hale

BigDaddy's back! Sure you missed him. Everyone does, no need to feel ashamed. We're not - we missed him! *Snif*, dammit! And now here's a tutorial as only the BigDaddy can do it. And don't let's forget, there will be a quiz afterward, chillun. So study up! (..Ok, just scaring you with that quiz thing there. I'm sorry.)

SharpE Public Beta 5 by Billi Berserker

There's two things that get the Internet up in the morning - fresh porn and fresh code. We at Shell-Shocked would never consider thrusting our good fortune upon you - sort of like Liberace - which leaves -- fresh code! All by way of saying that SharpE is fresher than ever, and I do mean Fresh. Billi Berserker, take it!

Interview: Andrew Powell, Kapsules creator by sparkane

Andy Powell is not a spy. Certainly not a spy for Michigan, which can barely afford squirrels, let alone a spy like Andy! (And Shell-Shocked is not Robert Novak.) No, Andy is just a regular joe who made a neat new widget engine on .NET. Read this if you don't believe us. Read this if you do.

Practical Modding by Rev. Edward Karn (ZenLogic)

Zenlogic, whom we've determined is a real actual Reverend, checks in with this inspirational tale about deskmodding in the Real World. Not to mention what are probably two of the coolest screenshots you'll ever expect to see from a church computer. Then again -- our Reverend is Zenlogic; would you expect any less?

Windows Symbolic and Hard Links by sparkane

How many sleepless nights have you passed, tossing and turning, because you couldn't symbolically link files on Windows as you could on *NIX? That many, huh? Geez, kid.. get a life! Or if that's not an option, you could try a little of this?

Jokes: Issue #9 by Brian Wolven

Gentle Sentients, where would we be without jokes,
without humor, the yeast of life?
Well, we'd probably be more like a griddle cake
than a loaf.
-- Okay, I tried. Here's the pro!

Hi West - I did a while back, if it's a recent one - I haven't been checking regularly. My flat's been totally flooded from a burst pipe - so life is a bit disrutped at the moment.

Phew - that took a while, but all's well now. Sorry for the hiatus folks.

I think I'll implement a "keyword" for this site, so you'll have to start your comment with ... say "shells" ... I'll strip that and post your comment.

Hopefully that will keep the spammers at bay.

Ah, I see neither gv nor the spammers fell for it.
