updated the desk-toy again, seems that SetLayeredWindowAttributes converts color-keys to the screen-depth used, but only if no translucency is used. otherwise you have to adjust the color-key manually… huh?
Never getting it right

Anti-Revision Coding
did some programming to prevent me from doing any revision: result is the cute neon genesis evangelion desk-toy, coded from an old win 3.1 program i found on the ‘net… try it, you might like it!
edit: circumvented a problem under win2k / xp that occured after task-switching from and back to it. somehow you have to reset the SetLayeredWindow-things for the window to be updated from the win GDI again after a task-switch (???). odd!
More Audigy Drivers
compaq has released new drivers (newer than creative’s) dated 2002-03-18 for the sb-live & audigy and those haven’t crashed (BAD_POOL_CALLER on closing the wave-out device in winamp) yet (knock on wood). you can find them here (377mb, i.e. the whole install cd). remember to delete the CToem-config file (or they won’t install). these are working fine for me so far…
matrix teasing
matrix – reloaded / revolutions teaser-trailer is out and looks cool. 😉
star wars – episode ii – attack of the clones
daniel-approved(tm). way better than episode i. kinda cheesy love-scenes, but hey – lucas is american after all ;). good film, and excellent f/x (as expected of ILM). the whole background-bit / story comes together really well (i find).
dying samurai
watched the second part of the new / 2nd kenshin OVA. sad. sad. but oh so nice…
grandia 2 on the pc
does anyone else have the problem that the game hangs (not crashes) when fighting “the claws of valmar” after it casts zap!???
