I am wearing glasses instead of contact lenses for the first time in almost 10 years. It's really awful, just imagine typing /fov 120 in Quake, add some chroma shift due to light diffraction and you can imagine how it feels. Now I realize how convenient lenses are.

Today my page about DeCSS was slashdotted, and, of course, the poor little Pentium 166 didn't survive it (there were dozens of services there to illustrate ways of distributing the source code). And as a direct application of Murphy's law, the box is miles away from here, and the guy hosting it isn't available.

Finished hacking on ipfm. It now has all the features I needed, so I sent the patches to the author, and I am waiting for his release to put it into Debian. I can now devote my time to VideoLAN again.
