Eye Candy
Jul252003
Over the past few weeks, I’ve found some cool screen savers for Windows XP (well, for any Win32 system, really). Actually, I was searching for how to write my own screen saver, and I found a page full of screen savers. I particularly liked TwinkleGL, Rotating Galaxies, and ZoneRings.

So I’m going to resort to bribery. Want some free stock? Link to … Continue reading
