Have not accomplished much. I worked a bit on message chat in GtkHx today finally and I made some accomplishments but too hard to test over remote X as my uplink sucks. I am going to move the nasledov.com domain to olympusmons (my home machine) soon. I have already sent the necessary requests. I got a 3D Prophet DDR/DVI (GeForce 256 chipset) yesterday for free. A coworker said it was malfunctioning for him and that I could keep it even if I got it to work -- he said it might have been heat. I tried it for a short period of time (VGA mode) and it seemed to work fine. I didn't want to fsck with any windows drivers...I can't wait until I get my machine...Well, I can't wait until I order it =) I'll use this card as the primary video card probably, I hope the XFree86 drivers for it are good. Has anyone tried them? I got a pass to Linux World Expo, I can't wait! =) Still playing Diablo II a lot...I believe GtkHx can still be finished by the end of the summer if I really "step on the pedal." It seems during the summer I am much less productive than during the school year. Also a bunch of progress on peggdrop, although I am not the person responsible for it. I have not had time to work on peggdrop, but I would like to congratulate amit for the progress. He has implemented encrypted password authentication and Slashdot headlines. I'll probably leave my Diablo II cd at work today so I can do some work on GtkHx. I want to implement message chat , nick-tab completion, and fix files for next release (0.7.1)
