Finger info for icculus@icculus.org...

 (Seen my glasses? I'm a dork.)

 If you want a specific section of my plan, you can use the web interface
  like this:

  http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&section=intro
  http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&section=proj
  http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&section=general
  http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&section=ssam
  http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&section=todo

 Or directly through port 79, if your finger client will let you get away with:
  finger icculus?section=ssam@icculus.org

This is part of the new, improved IcculusFinger. Yay.

Thanks,
  --The McManagement.



Currently Active Projects:
 (This is in no particular order)

  - The icculus.org open source incubator.
  - SDL_sound.
  - PhysicsFS.
  - The Build Engine.
  - Toby.
  - Serious Sam.
  - IcculusFinger.
  - UT2003.
  - various Pyrogon things.
  - csmhax0r.
  - IcculusNews.
  - Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
  - Other stuff.

 I have projects on icculus.org (some are even mine) that are already
  abandoned. I will have to figure out what to do with them. If you want to
  peek around, look at The CVS Tree.



General stuff:
  Ogg Vorbis 1.0 is now available; congrats to Monty, Emmett, and the rest of
  the gang at xiph.org! Now someone take the newly-written spec and make me
  an in-dash CD player for my car that decodes OGGs.


  Medal of Honor dedicated server binaries are now in public beta.

  Go get 'em.

  You need Windows for the installer on the original game CDs to extract
  the datafile and patch them to 1.11. I have been told that Wine can be
  used for the installer, but throws up on the 1.11 patch. You can also try
  your luck with wine/i6comp.exe (check google) to get around the
  installshield thing.

  Then subscribe to the mailing list and create an account
  on our bugtracking system.

  This will be wrapping up in a day or two, then I'll be handing off the
  source and the officially binaries to EA.


Serious Sam:
 Yes, I'm porting it. No, there's no timeframe right now. Email me with
 questions, and I'll start a FAQ or something.

Current Status:
  The 1.07 merge is done. Played through the first few levels, and played
  a Coop game with myself as the only player on a dedicated server running on
  the same box. Only seen one new bug...some buildings in the distance have
  the wrong lighting...which is odd, because everything else looked fine.

 Those old Screenies.
 Keep me and icculus.org going.
