ASCII fun

Well, I got SDL 1.1.0 yesterday. Plugged it onto my computer, rebuilt
twenty-five things that use it, and was really quite impressed by the ASCII
mode. Pretty damn clever. Dark, though.

That said, there’s a few bugs. I don’t know if they’re aa-lib bugs or SDL
bugs. The first is that occasionally the mouse trails and causes flickering
on my machine. I’m also trying to hack in an OpenGL driver for this beast;
that should be cool (if not 100% non-Mesa compatible. :-))

Oh yeah… and Sam, why didn’t you update the Joke of the Day when you
released 1.1.0? :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Fine. Here:

An eighty-year old woman, bored with her perfect and proper life, decides that
since it’s her eightieth birthday, she should do something exciting and
outrageous. After some thought, she decides that what she will do is take all
her clothes off and streak through Central Park.

The big day arrives. The old woman goes over to Central Park, peels all her
clothes off, and runs through the park bare-ass-naked.

Two old men on a park bench are sitting and talking when the old woman runs by.
One turns to the other and asks, “What was that?”

The other replies, “I don’t know, but it sure needed ironing.”

Now this is strange. Either your mail system hiccuped or mine did… I’ve
had this message TWICE now (and I know because the first time I got in
trouble for telling geriatric jokes on the mailing list) Hmm… deserves a
little investigation.
