Seems that lowrent.org is down at the moment. Thankfully, my Xoom site is being watched! Lots of cool things happening but due to unfortunate occurances in real life I just don’t have the time to report anything. Happy Christmas!

Here’s a page supporting Cross-ELF, a library that runs graphical applications in Dos/Windows and of course Linux. The page is part of Cotting Software Productions, and you can find Cross-ELF examples as well as other programs there. TDGraphics is another cross platform games development library which I found on Freshmeat. It “allows programmers to write computer games which transparently run on Unix (X, DGA, GGI) or Windows (DirectX)”. I’ll be downloading a copy soon!

I found TinyGL, a Small, Free and Fast Subset of OpenGL at Freshmeat. I’ll give it a go in a few days. Could be interesting for demo coders who approach coding in a minimilist fashion.

I travelled from Cork with Owen “BLG” Kelly early on Saturday morning and just made it to National University of Ireland, Galway for the first lecture by Kenn Humborg which was delayed by almost an hour for some […]

4 Things: I’ll post a report about last weekend later on today. Good weekend. It’s something we’ll have to do again! Deregulation of the telecom industry in Ireland occured today!! Telecom Eireann now have competition in the home/consumer market! Here’s hoping we get flat rate or free local calls! If you live in Ireland, watch Techtv tonight on Network 2. It’s on just after 10pm (I think) and will have a short Linux report interviewing Owen (BLG) Kelly. I saw adverts for it on tv last night and they showed a logo I did in the GIMP for his web […]
