Feh Fun

June 26, 2000

Tom finally released an updated version of feh. The new version includes my arbitrary rotation routines, button customization routines, a couple custom menu backgrounds, and my feh webcam wrapper (called cam). It requires imlib2 from E cvs.

I seem to have horribly broken EWL sometime in the last couple of days. The latest snapshot still compiles fine, and I can't find anything in the diff that would be causing the SEGV I'm getting. So this is either memory corruption from a silly mistake by me, or something silly I did in the last couple of days. Needless to say, I won't be updating the snapshot until I squash this one out.

I finally got around to installing XFree86 4.0 on my machine at work, along with the accelerated Nvidia TNT2 driver. Wow! It's actually pretty damn fast. Whatever negative things people hve to say about the closed-source NVidia drivers is a crock of shit. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Oh yeah, and I played around a bit with the InfoBot IRC bot -- it's pretty smooth. They still need to some work on the user authentication (at present it's non-existant, unless you edit the code by hand), and a it needs a few other goodies (like maybe a fallback server, and more tolerant key matching).
