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).
<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.
