Well, another delay. I’ve been upto so many different things in the past days and many new things have happened. A few days ago I got my video card changed since it wasn’t working properly in linux. I thought about getting one that uses the Riva TNT chipset, but I wasn’t sure if that was properly supported in linux and I didn’t want to piss the salesman off by returning it. So I found that my only likely choice was the Diamond FireGL Pro 1000. Yes, it sounds fancy, but it isn’t so fancy. It’s an accelerated Open GL card, but it’s almost 1 and a half years old. It’s based on the Permedia 2 chipset and it’s now a lot of fun when I run enlightenment. I’m really beginning to love this window manager, even though it lacks many things, but a lot of work is being done on it and soon it will be the best out there, I hope.

The pictures of the graduation night arrived yesterday and I for one like them a lot. I’ll try to put them up here soon. Let’s see how soon I can get them scanned and scaled. I’ll have to do some retouching too, since the originals are a bit dark and many people have red-eye problems.

Because of the video card change, I’m now running my desktop at 800×600 pixels since for some reason, the my eyes can no longer handle 1024×768. I think the new video card and my old monitor don’t mesh. They can’t agree on a stable enough refresh rate. And when I looked at my web site at the lower resolution, everything was messed up. I had thought I fixed that before, but anyway, I had to fix it again. I hope it looks better now.

On the GTK+/Qt front, another new member has been added: Motif! Damn, I thought I had it almost figured out when I learn that Motif is really really important and I should probably learn that instead. So I’m going to try to finish off Motif ASAP and then I’ll move on to GTK. I’ll just have to do both. Thanks to Jamie Zawinski for letting me know how important it really is. He was the head of the Mozilla project over at Netscape. Mozilla is the name of their soon to be released Open source browser. He quit because he doesn’t like Netscape much anymore and since Mozilla was stagnating. I also tend not to like any BIG companies. He is really a very gifted programmer.
