Sweet! My patch for the Linux SDL was finally accepted. "Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro Gameport Version misidentified by libsdl" went upstream last week and will be in the next version of the SDL. Another minor claim to fame. I now have three patches in the Linux Standard Release package: one about porn, one about gaming, and one about work.

Never again will another geek with a copy of Freespace and a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro Gameport Edition have to suffer as I have suffered!

porn, work and games...

Now if I could only figure out how to get free space, or half life, or guild wars to RUN under Unbuntu I might feel the same way.

Oh well. I guess I will have to keep going through life thinking of you as a superior being...

I have to ask: how do you get a _porn_ patch into Linux?

I fixed the uudecode/mimedecode library in Python so that it would properly handle some of the more common variants found in alt.binaries.pictures.*.
