Site remake

As you may have noticed I remade the site yesterday and giving a bit perspective (a day not looking at it does that) I find that it came out real nice. It now uses CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), version numbers are seen on the menu, downloadable files are now better organized, and mail addresses are rewritten to make it harder for robots to add them to their spam-lists.

Also after I got my new camera I thought I may aswell share some of my pictures.

Status report

Giving the small amount of free time (to make free software) I only manage to maintain one program. So those of you waiting for updates on SleezeBall, Practical PPP and rmRemote may not get any for a time. I’m currently working on making GFXIndex independent of stuff that depends on X (imlib, gdk that is). I tried to use gdk-pixbuf but that wanted an X display too so I made the decision to make my own library for graphics rendering. So far I’ve implemented JPEG loading and saving, some basic preparation for plug-ins and some basic drawing. All is made in 24-bit off screen in memory. I couldn’t figure out how to use the scaling functions from gdk-pixbuf so I’ve made a quick “nearest pixel” rescaler and put one of my friends to make a good rescaling routine.
