title: Feh Fun
---

<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom</a> finally released an
updated version of <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/feh.html">feh</a>.
The new version includes my arbitrary rotation routines, button
customization routines, a couple custom menu backgrounds, and my
feh webcam wrapper (called cam).  It requires imlib2 from 
<a href="http://www.enlightenment.org/cvs.html">E cvs</a>.<br /><br />

I seem to have horribly broken <a href="/projects/">EWL</a> 
sometime in the last couple of days.  The
<a href="/projects/ewl/ewl-latest.tar.gz">latest snapshot</a>
still compiles fine, and I can't find anything in the diff that would
be causing the SEGV I'm getting.  So this is either memory corruption
from a silly mistake by me, or something silly I did in the last 
couple of days.  Needless to say, I won't be updating the snapshot
until I squash this one out.<br /><br />

I finally got around to installing
<a href="http://www.xfree86.org/">XFree86 4.0</a> on my machine at
work, along with
<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/Products/OpenDrvDwn.nsf/xfree86_40Downloadmain?OpenPage">the accelerated Nvidia TNT2 driver</a>.  Wow!  It's actually
pretty damn fast.  Whatever <a href="http://www.linuxquake.com/messageboard/messages/4886.html">negative things people hve to say</a> about the 
closed-source NVidia drivers is a crock of shit.  I'm pretty happy
with the results.<br /><br />

Oh yeah, and I played around a bit with
the <a href="http://www.infobot.org">InfoBot IRC bot</a> -- it's 
pretty smooth.  They still need to some work on the user
authentication (at present it's non-existant, unless you edit the
code by hand), and a it needs a few other goodies (like maybe a 
fallback server, and more tolerant key matching).
