All Blogs

I was unable to read all other blogs I read normally for several days, and read most of them by now.

These are some things you must check out:

• A movie demonstrating Soft Bodies in Blender. It's quite long, but it's worth your time.
• We got Windows binary DLL codec support for GStreamer, which means every movie you're able to watch in WMP9 will be viewable in Totem or another GStreamer based application too, even if no free codecs are available.
• Spyderous got great insight in some of the shortcomings in Computer Science subjects in education

Did I mention our concert yesterday was quite ok?

I forgot this one:

• Never trust lawyers. Mind the name of the person writing this. If you don't know Greg KH: he's the author of udev, the Linux USB subsystem maintainer (one of Linux' trustees) and coder of lots of other kernel parts.

I hate blog comment spammers. Guys, get a live.

This German article (bad BableFish translation) gives a great overview of what's currently possible using X11, on the field of eye candy. Some of the presented technologies are just technology previews, still nice to see though.

It's some sort of bundle about thingsI blogged about before:
- Xrender and Xdamage (alpha blending)
- Xgl (X server based on OpenGL)
- Luminocity (the wobbling windows, you know...)
- E17

Make sure you check the provided screenshots and demo movies.
