Ok, so I got the flu again. I thought it wouldn't happen twice in the same winter but anyway.

This Saturday I coded a small mod player to add sound support to XRally, an X11 clone of the classic arcade Rally X. Wow, it's amazing how easy it was, my first attempt to write a mod player a few years ago took me a few weeks and it wasn't half as good as this new version. Yay!

Also played a bit with the Gimp (dodging the frequent crashes of the unstable version) to create a parody of the Conectiva Linux 5.0 box. The original box cover has a b&w photo of kids playing, a quite unusual design for a software product. I'll probably do something similar for the latest release, Conectiva 5.1 :)

Finally added some more code to the star wars Xscreensaver hack. Wow. I think this week I'll finally have time to work on some postponed tasks in xmp, sarien and all the rest.
