Stackless Python is an enhanced version of the Python programming language. It allows programmers to reap the benefits of thread-based programming without the performance and complexity problems associated with conventional threads. The microthreads that Stackless adds to Python are a cheap and lightweight convenience which can if used properly, give the following benefits:

* Improved program structure.
* More readable code.
* Increased programmer productivity.

Morgan has udpated his Rubiks Cube for NDS.

Here are the release notes:

have finished coding all the turning functions. I also added touchscreen controls to make it less confusing. The icons with an ‘i’ are inverse functions (for example, R turns the right side of the cube clockwise while Ri turns the right side of the cube counterclockwise). Pressing the start button will reset the cube.

Seems not only myself had a bad expirience recently…

Here are a few lines from brakken of tehskeen.net:

Wraggster, for my knowledge hasn’t been giving proper credit to emulation authors who post their work exclusively on other websites from some time – well at least in cases of the SkeenDev emulators. At the time barely any “scene” sites were covering the emulators due to the fact that there were only a handful of these sites who actually reported on GameCube. To make matters worse two of these “scene” sites who actually did cover GameCube homebrew, MaxConsole and PS2NFO were on bad terms with me and didn’t want to send my site traffic due to various reasons including loss of revenue.

These facts actually hurt the GameCube scene as the very talented authors works were not being spread around the scene. The end result of these other sites greedy tactics turned against them as TehSkeen quickly became a premier site for GameCube related developments and in the end these so called scene sites lost more traffic (income) then they would of if they would of covered the news themselves. Although, TehSkeen.com gained more popularity I was still not pleased as the homebrew authors weren’t getting they attention they deserved.

During this period in time Wraggster was one of the only English language “scene” sites posting constant updates about the emulators, but he was also not citing the source. This happened on numerous occasions. I however ignored for two reasons: (1) The emulators were getting coverage on a major site. (2) Lots of sites don’t link to respective sources so it’s pointless to post about them unless they are up to a lot of no good like MaxConsole and PS2NFO. Although, I ignored his disrespect for my site and the GameCube coders I did not forget…

VNCServer 2x is a simple VNC server for the GP2x made by Lithosphere. Make sure you have network working. Then telnet and launch it in background (“./vncserver2x &”). You can also put this in a script and return to the menu.

Then start a VNC Viewer to the GP2x IP address. You should see your screen on your PC. This will work on most programs (that use /dev/fb0), some programs won’t work (eg mplayer, …).
