Misc update.

I got a few emails about the status panel I'd both toyed with and posted. The end result is that the live load graphs now have documentation, look prettier, and contain a link to the source code.

Apart from that this week has mostly involved photographing cute cats, hairy dogs, and women in corsets.

In Debian-related news njam: Insecure usage of environmental variable was closed after about 7 months, and I reported a failure of omega-rpg to drop group(games) privileges prior to saving game-state. That leads to things like this:

skx@precious:~$ ls -l | grep games
-rw-r--r--   1 skx games   14506 Jul  8 15:20 Omega1000

Not the end of the world, but it does mean you can write to directories owned by root.games, and potentially over-write level/high-score files in other packages leading to compromises.
