Okay, not really "bite" you, but you'll hit one of those moments where you have to rebuild the whole thing from scratch just to be sure that everything's going to work happily together. There's major updates to both glibc and gcc now marked stable on Gentoo. I'm going to do a rebuild world to make ...

A few fixes here and there in OpenGL-ctypes, allows a few more of the samples to run properly. Also did some preliminary testing with PyGame-ctypes (seems to work fine with OpenGL-ctypes). Then sat down to work on the ARB vertex_buffer_objects extension. The extension itself is fairly straightforward, but it's the side effects that make it ...

So yesterday I set up the laptop to have Asterisk, StarPy, and StarMail so that I can ...

Tonight was going to be an OpenGL-ctypes hacking evening, but Rose's houseguests wanted to take us out for dinner... I can hardly say no to free Persian food, now can I?
