| 465 | 2 | 1999-07-11 14:09:31 | A handful of minor items I'm sharing because I love you: <ul> <li>The next (August) issue of <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com:82/lj-issues/issue64/index.html">Linux Journal</a> will feature a <a href="http://www.lokigames.com">Loki</a> interview with the usual suspects, Scott Draeker and Sam Latinga. Reserve your copy now if don't have a subscription (and why the heck don't you?) <li>Borland has posted <a href="http://www.borland.com/linux/">a survey for Linux developers</a>. If this is you, head over there and tell 'em what you need. <li><a href="mailto:mlarios@flash.net">Miguel Larios</a> is running <a href="http://lgn.hypermart.net/starcraft-petition.htm">a petition for a Linux StarCraft port</a>. I suspect an effort like this is doomed, simply because StarCraft is very old by game industry standards, but I'd love to be proven wrong. Add your voice to the petition if you're so inclined. </ul> | Misc Sunday stuff | default | |
