Slurp.
A gymsokk meets the floor and stays there. When it finally lets go, the parquet makes a small wet sound. That sound is the review. The sole works. The rest is costume.
Welcome to GymSokk
Non-slip sole. Desktop from 1995.
Click an icon once to select it, again to open it. Or press Start. Start, then Shut Down, when you want the amber screen.
About GymSokk
A gymsokk is a sock with a sole that refuses to slide. Kids wore them in Norwegian gym halls, on pool tile, and occasionally in the sea, which the sole treated as just another floor.
The sock is from the last century. So is this desktop.
This site is the first project under the GymSokk organization. The next ones will get their own icons.
Turnsokk vs gymsokk
A turnsokk ends at the ankle and pretends to be footwear. A gymsokk continues up the leg and pretends to be a plan. People still take sides. The sole, which is the only part doing any work, has never voted.
The pool rule
The sole does not know the difference between a gym floor, a shower tile, and a rock by the sea. It grips all three with the same serious face. Bring it to a swimming hall and it will behave. Bring it to a meeting and it will also behave, which is worse.

Later
The GymSokk organization is for the projects that come after this homepage. They are not built yet. The Start menu has room.
Readme
GymSokk is a homepage dressed as Windows 95.
Desktop
The icons on the left open My Computer, Blog, Projects, Readme, and the Recycle Bin. Click once to select, again to open. On a phone, one tap is enough.
Start
Press Start for the same places, plus About GymSokk, plus Shut Down.
Windows
Drag the blue bar to move a window. Use the buttons on the right to minimize, maximize, or close it. The taskbar keeps whatever is still open. Drag the corner to resize.
Shut Down
Start, then Shut Down. The screen turns black and the type turns amber. First it prepares. Then it says it is now safe to turn off the internet. Click the black once that line is up and the desk returns.

Nothing to put back. The floor is clear.
