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). +<br /><br /> + +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. +<br /><br /> + +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).. +<br /><br /> + +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. + |
