+title: Monkeys on Crack and Other Oddities
+---
+
+So I finally got off my ass and joined the Crack Monkey mailing
+list.  Wow, it's a lot of fun!  It's basically a bunch of losers
+like myself, spending their time coming up with crackpot ideas and
+bashing each other.  For example, right now the list is  debating
+the feasability of a nitrogen-filled, high-pressure nightclub
+(ie you could have music really loud without bothering the neighbors).
+You can check out the Crack Monkey site
+<a href="http://www.crackmonkey.org/">here</a> (not recommended for
+Windows users -- the site will lock up your computer.  You have 
+been warned).

+I have my test Evas app working pretty well -- I just need to finish
+up some graphics, hten I'll post it for abuse on the
+<a href="/download/">Download page</a>.  I also fixed one little
+tiny bug in the evas_set_color() routine -- but other than that
+Evas has been pretty solid for me.  I'm getting some wierd color
+flashes in my test app, but I'm almost positive sure it's my setup
+(XF4.0, TNT2 w/ nv module, Mesa 3.2 -- I think mesa3.2 is b0rked)
+and not Evas.

+
+As for this page, I finally added file sizes and MD5 checksums to
+the <a href="/download/">Download page</a>, but I'm not sure if
+they're gonna stay -- I don't know if I like the look.  I also added
+a few new links to the <a href="/links/">Links page</a> -- for some
+reason I have a hard time keeping the links page up to date)..

+Joe pointed me towards 
+<a href="http://www.somethingawful.com/news/8-28-2000/nintendo/">this
+review</a> of the Nintendo GameCube, which reminded me about
+<a href="http://cube.ign.com/news/23749.html">this article</a> that I
+read last week.  I should mention that I'm biased; IMO ATI and S3
+are my two least favorite video chipset vendors -- the latter because
+they whore their crappy embedded chipsets out to every OEM on the
+planet (including Apple), and the latter because I am actually using
+the monstrosity that is S3 ViRGE at home.  Of course, I also don't
+really care about console systems any more -- the last one I bought
+was the Sega Saturn, and that was only to play Virtua Fighter 2. But
+I haven't even touched that for at least 6 months.  My TV broke, so
+I loaned out my VCR, and that was the last contact I've had with
+console systems, video rentals, and cable TV.  Internet keeps me
+entertained now.  Anyways, if I was interested in a console system,
+it would probably be the
+<a href="http://www.playstation2.com/home/home1.jhtml">PlayStation 2</a>,
+not the Dolphin.
