id Software has released the source code for its Quake III Arena for the public under the GPL. That is even before Quake 4 has been released! If you’re interested, you can download the source code here.
Now game writers all over the world can unite and produce some really cool games for Linux, Windows, and Mac. Yeah!
I was in a mood for some light and entertaining film, so I picked up “Sideways” which was marked as comedy, romance, and drama with high rating. I thought it was one of those nicely done romantic comedies with some sadness to it.

I’ve just noticed that in my voting history at IMDb I have exactly 300 movies. Not so bad for a couple of years, if you ask me. In fact, I’ve watched a bit more than 300 movies technically. Some of the movies aren’t at IMDB, some I’ve seen but didn’t remember the title or didn’t vote at all, and some I’ve watched more than once.
Anyway, 300 is a round number. And it is a big one too. So I thought I’d post about it and acknoledge the fact.
Visual arts in general and photography in particular are the main themes for today’s set of links. By the way, these links are actually from August 19th. I haven’t bookmarked any links today and Delicious API was a bit malfunctioning during the last few days, so I could post my link dumps. I am going to fix that by posting them now.
If I remember correctly, I heard about “Catch-22” in connection with “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” and that is one of my favourite movies, so I had to see “Catch-22” too.
