mmsv2 has been featured in the german linux magazine linuxuser. This should fit right in with the 1.0.5 release within the next couple of days.

Long time no update. Been very busy with university work so I havn’t had a lot of time to hack. I did manage to write a global searcher for 1.1.0 and convert some of the plugins to store information in an sqlite database. 1.0.5 has a new default theme and is about ready to get released. There is one open bug on the mailinglist that I want to fix before doing a release.

On the 4th of October at 7 PM I will be delivering a talk on mms and open source in general. The talk is hosted by UNF Aalborg in collaboration with the local Linux User Group njlug. You can read more about it here. Be sure to stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

I found a music sharing plugin for gaim plugin today. It’s part of the google summer of code challenge. Can’t wait to try it out :)

So I’m back in Denmark. Niagara Falls was really something. It was especially beautiful one of the nights when they colored the sky with fireworks :) I also liked New York a lot. The city felt more international than American mostly because of all the different cultures living together.

Ran into the bug described here today while cleaning up some code in mmsv2 1.1.0. Luckily I it manifested itself as a link error and not calls to strange functions I don’t want to be calling 8)

3 Days ago mmsv2 was 3 years old and now it seems that I have been a gentoo developer for more than a year. Ohh yeah and my real birthday was just last month :)

I updated nanoblogger to latest cvs and added RSS feeds to the different categories. Maybe I can get listed on planet gentoo now :)

There was some discussion on the MPlayer mailinglist about a new filter so I though I would check it out. I was in for quite a nice suprise. The filter is very effective in removing ugly artifacts from the mpeg family of codecs. The only downside is the massive CPU usage. You can try it with -vf fspp. The code is based on this paper. Screenshots normal: Screenshots filter: ...

Stumpled upon new FPS, Nexuiz, based on the ancient quake1 (GPL) engine but with lots of goodies added. Reminds me a lot of Quake1 and Quake3 and it generally looks promising (17 maps, 10 music tracks). Even worked on 64 bit with my Radeon 8500 using the built-in dri drivers :)
