In other news … I’m still unemployed, still scrambling to pay the mortgage, haven’t finished the deck, and the kid’s arthritis is flaring up again. Other than that we’re doing pretty good!

Found a few geocaches by accident recently while out and about … that’s always nice. And I’m holding this travelbug which I should really move to another cache before I’m overwhelmed with guilt for being slack about it!

My rub has always been the attitude by some of the FOSS zealots; "Oh, he did something like this? Really? Huh. I had no idea." I've always found it humorous that those that hug the GNU agreement to get to sleep at night and cry when people don't keep their name in code credits are the same ones to act like they pulled an application idea out of their ass while reading the Sunday comics when it's blatantly obvious that they pulled the idea out of somebody else's ass. BTW, how you been, man? You know, I see nothing wrong with the copies. My rub has always been the attitude by some of the FOSS zealots; “Oh, he did something like this? Really? Huh. I had no idea.”

I checked on the Kloonigames forums and saw a thread regarding "ripoffs" of Crayon Physics Deluxe: http://www.kloonigames.com/forum/index.php?topic=17.0 Apparently there are quite a few of them, but CPD is generally regarded as the best. Reply #10 in that topic has some good comparisons. Yeah … I checked on the Kloonigames forums and saw a thread regarding “ripoffs” of Crayon Physics Deluxe:
