View source for !a! honorable mentions

!a! honorable mentions are software projects that we want to honor for their contribution to values which are similar to the !a! concept.  these are values such as reducing the use of pointless eye candy, limiting the use of collosal libraries that although powerful are not generally necessary and only lead to idle computers that are prone to crashes, eliminating display of idols or references to idols which serve only to draw demonic interest to ones computer, and other such things.

we congratulate the following on accomplishes goals similar to our own.

* '''slock-0.9'''

slock is the simple screen lock program that has recently been discovered here and adapted into slock wandering text.  slock eliminates the use of the xscreensaver system since xscreensaver is way too large for the simple task that it accomplishes of protecting the monitor and providing basic security if one steps away from the computer.  additionally xscreensaver forces us through comments in logo.c to endure a logo that offensive to many and annoying to others.  simple screen lock (slock) has none of those problems. instead it offers a simple way to protect your screen and your data without un-neccesary use of drive space or memory wasted on worthless eye candy. thank you Anselm R Garbe for a great system resource.  your team at suckless manages to put into one word what the !a! principle is all about.  we want our computers to have less resources sucked away on worthless non sense.  please keep the good work.  way to make our computers suck less.
