Ars Technica reports on Valve's decision to release an open source Direct3D to OpenGL translator. Valve is leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to insure that Windows will no longer be the dominant platform for computer gaming, and this will be a good thing for gamers over the long haul.
With little fanfare, Valve has published the source to ToGL, a translation layer to support a subset of the Direct3D 9 API on OpenGL systems. ToGL is a component of the company's Source 3D engine. Valve has broken it out and slapped a permissive MIT license on it in the hope that it might be useful to other developers.
Is this going to open the floodgates and bring a ton of Windows games to OS X, Linux, and, of course, Valve's Linux-based Steam OS?
Probably not.More at Ars Technica
While Ars isn't very upbeat about how this would affect the development of games for Linux, I'm still very glad to see Valve doing this. And I think Ars might be underestimating the value of Valve's decision to release this translator. The Valve name alone commands an enormous amount of respect in the gaming industry, far more than the WINE project. So this translator could help insure more Linux and OS X games are made available to gamers.
Say what you will about Valve, they are quite determined that gamers have a real alternative to Windows for serious computer gaming. They are pulling out all the stops to put an end to Microsoft's control of computer gaming, and they are doing a very good job fighting on behalf of gamers and developers to create gaming alternatives to Windows.
Steam on Linux, Steam on OS X, Steam Machines and SteamOS are all geared toward ending Microsoft's dominance in computer gaming. Valve knows that it would be a very foolish thing for gaming developers to be too dependent on Windows, and the company has taken matters into its own hands in an extremely aggressive way.
Kudos to Valve for doing this. If anybody doubted their seriousness about taking on Windows then this ought to end those doubts. Frankly, it makes me wonder what other things Valve has up its sleeve to use against Microsoft and Windows. Valve is clearly working overtime to push gamers and developers away from the Windows platform in any way the company can.
Microsoft, of course, will not be very happy but I'm sure they realize that Valve is gunning for them and for Windows as a gaming platform. Then again I sometimes wonder if they are really aware of what's happening since they are so preoccupied with internal restructuring and their vain attempts at becoming relevant in the mobile market.
Wake up, Microsoft. Valve is coming after you with all guns blazing.
Ubuntu smartphone pricing
Ars Technica also reports that Ubuntu phones will be priced between $200 and $400.

Hi to all those that are ignorant of the wonders of English Cuisine.
For years us English have been mocked for our tasteless food and bland diets. But little did you know about the sweet delicacies of our regional kitchens.
Gravy rings, for example, are an example of "liquid dinners" that us Brits enjoy from time to time. In this case, the gravy is poured slowly into a saucepan of cool swirling water. As the gravy hits the cold water it becomes less viscous and draws itself out into a thick liquidy string that forms a hoop in the swirling water. This is then moved to one side and the process repeated until you have a saucepan full of little gravy circles.
These are then eaten as an appetiser (or hors d'oeuvres) using an implement designed speficically for the task - the gravy circle spoon. Imagine a normal spoon head, stretched from its end round into a circle so that it comes back to meet itself. You get a circular spoon with a large hole in the middle, but with a circular channel for picking up liquids. Voila! The perfect implement for eating Gravy Rings.
Authentic antique Gravy Ring Spoons are very rare these days and often fetch a king's ransom at auction. Coveted by collectors, one enthusiast in Singapore recently paid over £150,000 for a set of 6 Gravy Ring Spoons once used by King George III.

Xibalba I don't believe a word you said.
Now tell me the truth with your fingers uncrossed.
There are no such things as gravy rings, but I admit for a very short time I fell for it.
The way you British fall for our hoop snakes.

Jameske it is 2am and I cannot sleep because I am worried that I might be missing something...like gravy rings.
I love gravy.
Please send recipe urgently.

Fool me! I thought that gravy rings were circular stains and that you had to suck your shirt or apron! :o

Your recipe does not work.
I have been cooking all day and I have saucepans all over the kitchen with gravy in them.
When the gravy hits the water it all sort of mixes in and doesn't form a ring.
Is there something you left out of the recipe?
I am awaiting your response.

Hi Shadows,
going back over my previous post I realise I have made a rather drastic omission. The gravy mix must be thickened up before pouring. When you make the gravy mix, dissolve into the gravy 2 teaspoons of corn starch, half a teaspoon of salt, a large block of Edam cheese (or Red Leicester if you prefer), one whole packet of concentrated wobbly jelly mix, two table spoons of peanut butter (smooth is best, but crunchy adds texture) and half a shovel of cement powder.
That little lot will ensure you get a nice thick gloopy gravy syrup. Believe me, this WILL set on impact with the cool swirling water.
Good luck with the recipe. Can you send us some pictures of you making Gravy Rings in your kitchen - I'll forward them to the Royal Society of Gravy Ring Appreciation for posting on the "international" section of their website.
yer ol' pal

The news about all the ancient Greek texts now being able to be read is tremendously exciting. They expect to find numerous lost early Christian works, and this will prove to be a huge problem for our new Pope, for it will prove that the early church censored and edited the Bible, thus undermining the whole foundation of the modern Christian church.
I of course will be breathlessly waiting to see if these newly unveiled Christian manuscripts will confirm my 18 years of research into the binary soul doctrine and its untold relationship with Original Christianity.

I don't think Ratzinger is really that old, he had nothing to do with it.

Hi Peter,
It should indeed be interesting to see what they will come up with in relation to these writings.
This is where I situate this process (in reference to your work on the Binary Soul Doctrine).
The separation between the soul and the spirit was part of the primal Christian convictions.
The end goal of the evolutionary forces to activate the fusion process between spirit and the mortal, for the spirit to fuse with the soul, in order to create an integrated consciousness that would be based on the infinity of the spirit rather than the astral subjectivity supported by the world of the dead to which the soul belongs.
This is well represented in the well-known descent of the 'holy spirit' upon the apostles on the day of the Pentecost, right? This phenomena that reportedly gave them strength and neutralized their fear, allowing the spirit to speak through them.
This is a possession by the 'holy spirit' which is not the fusion between the spirit-self and the soul but it nonetheless illustrates that the ego is just a channel that vibrates at the rate of the energy that possesses it. Its reality then is dependant on the nature of that energy and so is its consciousness. If man is soul and the soul goes to the dead, man is a living dead. If man is spirit and the spirit does not go to the dead, then man has immortalized his consciousness and is no more confined to the lower realms of creation.
It has also been said that all sins will be forgiven except the sin against spirit; not the sin against the soul.

Information Scotland
The Journal of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in Scotland
Issue contents | Journal contents | About the online edition of the journal
Brian D. Osborne, librarian and author, died on Friday 30 May while on holiday following the Silk Road through Uzbekistan. He has been interred in that country. Brian was born in Glasgow in 1941, and brought up in Helensburgh in a well-known local family. He was educated at Hermitage Academy in Helensburgh, and later graduated from the Open University. He immersed himself in books from an early age and was not ashamed to admit that as a child he never got picked for the football team, but read everything he could get his hands on.
Thankfully, his early choice of bookselling as a career proved to be no more than a flirtation. The public library service beckoned, and there is photographic evidence from 1962 of a young man with smartly-combed hair working behind the staff counter at Dumbarton Library.
That young man rose to become Dumbarton's Deputy District Librarian, with ambitions to rise higher. However, not getting the top job of District Librarian when the post fell vacant in 1979 was probably one of the best things that ever happened to Brian – if Dumbarton wouldn't have him, then he must pursue his ambitions elsewhere.
It was Midlothian which snapped him up as District Librarian in 1983, a time when that authority awaited modernisation. Brian took on this task readily: a publications programme was introduced; activities and events of all sorts were regularly promoted; libraries were refurbished; opening hours were extended; staff restructuring was implemented. To quote one Midlothian councillor of the day: "Mr Osborne is fizzing with good ideas," – Brian liked that description.
His move to Strathkelvin in 1989 as Chief Officer, Libraries and Museums, brought the challenge of designing a new library for Kirkintilloch. His response was the creation of a bright, modern, spacious library set in a prime position within the town centre.
It was during the Midlothian and Strathkelvin days that his involvement in professional activities developed, initially through the Central Scotland Training Group, then as the Scottish Library Association's Publications Officer, and ultimately as President of the SLA in 1992. Even after his retirement in 1995, he remained active in professional affairs, carrying out freelance and consultancy work. Driven by a sharp intelligence, keen reasoning and good common sense, Brian made a significant contribution to the work of the professional association in Scotland.
Early retirement released him to do what he really wanted to do, and what he was best at – research, writing, immersing himself in the literary life of Scotland.
His involvement with research, writing and publication had started with local history titles produced by Dumbarton Libraries. He continued this interest in Midlothian where he enthusiastically introduced a publications programme which featured both facsimile reprints of out-of-print local works and new titles based on original research. At the same time, as the SLA's Publications Officer, he broke new ground, commissioning new Scottish-interest titles which often provided a showcase for the local studies collections of Scotland's public library authorities.
Thereafter, Brian really got into his stride; he published three biographies – Braxfield, the hanging judge?, The Ingenious Mr. Bell, The Last of the Chiefs; these were highly original works in contrasted fields. He collaborated with Ronnie Armstrong in the compilation of various Scottish literary anthologies; he edited, introduced and annotated many of the works of Neil Munro and wrote several other books on different topics. He was also a regular contributor of articles on matters of Scottish heritage and history to a number of journals, particularly The Scots Magazine. Two plays, again written with Ronnie Armstrong, were staged at The Byre Theatre, St Andrews and at Perth Theatre. All of those activities have secured for Brian a lasting place in Scotland's cultural life. His final full-length work, a study of the Home Guard in Scotland is due for publication in the spring of 2009.
Of crucial importance was his work with Ronald Armstrong, Ronald Renton and others in re-assessing and reinvigorating the reputation of Neil Munro through the work of the Neil Munro Society, of which he became the first secretary, and in other ways. Munro was known for his Para Handy tales, but his novels and other works had been sadly neglected. It is to the Society's credit that in recent years all of Munro's major titles have been reprinted with modern introductions, a full biography written by a granddaughter of Munro has been published, and a volume of critical essays, edited by Brian and Ronald Renton, has appeared. This is a literary achievement of a very high order.
Brian understood the importance of books and reading. In his presidential address to the Scottish Library Association, he lamented that as a profession and as individuals librarians play too small a role in the book world in Scotland. Brian could never be accused of that. From an early date he was active within the Scottish Book Marketing Group, he served on the Scottish Arts Council Literature Committee and on the committee of the Society of Authors in Scotland. Only a short time ago, he was appointed as Vice Chair at Publishing Scotland, the new guise for the Scottish Publishers' Association.
Brian was an elder and devoted member of his local church, St Columba's, Kirkintilloch, where he was active in the affairs of the congregation, and edited the church magazine. The values he brought from that involvement were evident in all that he undertook.
There were so many aspects to Brian's life. He was widely known and respected. He brought his energetic personality to everything he did, and will be missed by many people for his sense of humour, his wit and intelligence.
He is survived by his father.
Alan Reid, Library Services Manager, Midlothian Council
I was about to set off for the funeral of my mother-in-law when I heard of the death of my old friend Brian Osborne.
He was a hard-working and distinguished librarian, and he and I worked together on many projects within the Scottish Library Association, which we both served as President on different occasions, on SLIC, and on working parties.
For the last several years we alternated writing the Endpiece column in Information Scotland. Our joint brief, though it was more informal than that, was to write about things we hoped might interest our fellow professionals, but from a literary angle. Brian was always entertaining and informative in his pieces, erudite but never dull. We were both heavily involved in literature – myself in poetry and Brian in innumerable literary and historical societies.
He was a prolific author and editor in his own right, and his writing style was clear and straightforward. We got together as often as we could, and I enjoyed his warmth, his wit, his positive outlook on life, his fund of anecdotes, and his sense that life was fun.

i guess that i am what you can call an environmentalist, or at least a mild one. i believe in reducing, reusing and recycling. i believe in and practice buying locally. Each and every day i make an effort to reduce my waste and consumption. i am concerned with global warming and all of that jazz, i promise i am.
But the plight of the billions of people in the world who struggle to acquire the basic necessities of survival like food, clean water and shelter is an even greater concern. That's why i find the WWF's Climate Change campaign so ridiculous and disturbing. Whenever one of those damned commercials comes on TV, i cringe.
All of the hunger and devastation in the world and they want me to donate money to save some polar bears?
