So I got my new system and it's up and running, very nice it is too! I finally got to check the modified view transform code into cvs, so I'm officially back into 3dwm development :)

Just talked to Matt Westervelt (don't know if he's on Advogato) on IRC. I'd never spoken to him before, he just dropped by #3dwm because Torsten from Xybernaut was speaking to him about the SteattleWireless (www.seattlewireless.net) project. This is a very cool 'peer-to-peer' network of wireless nodes privately operated by individuals involved in the project. I recommend reading their site for more info. Anyway, it seems Xybernaut likes the idea of having wearable computers running 3dwm connected via this network, which sounds like a pretty damn good idea to me too! Just don't blame us when someone gets hit by a bus :)

Wow! The GeForce 3 is impressive. I can't wait to get my hands on one to start playing around with vertex and pixel shaders. Although somewhat of an overkill for the current incarnation of 3dwm, a bit of eye candy wouldn't do any harm.

Well, it isn't the power supply, something more serious has died. It's not all bad though, I've ordered a 1Ghz Athlon CPU and the new Asus A7V133 motherboard. Kernel compiles will never be the same again!

Bah! My machine died yesterday, and just as I got 3dwm's viewing transform working in cooperation with the model transform. I was enjoying zooming around a spinning model when it hard locked (which it had been doing about once a day for 3 days), except this time it wouldn't boot.

I'm hoping the problem is the power supply. On power-on the fans run and the HDs spin, but nothing happens, no video, no beeping. I hope the power supply is damanged and can't supply the correct regulated voltage to the motherboard, so it fails POST.

I was a cheapskate when I moved here, I brought my PC in bits as hand luggage and bought the cheapest case I could find (hey I just got here and hadn't been paid!). So the thing always ran a bit hot with the Voodoo5, SCSI controller, NIC, DVD ROM, CD-Burner and 2 HDs sucking power. With it being a 3 day weekend and listening to CDs constantly I think I finally pushed it over the edge. So at lunchtime today I bought a bigger case with fans on the front and back and a better power supply. Let's hope that's the problem and not a dead motherboard. I also hope my linux HD it still intact.
