I’ve been fiddling with packaging some windows VST plugins
(a few are actually GPL and distributable…) for running
under wine/vstserver under linux.

But, there doesn’t appear to be any concept of a standardized
way to package windows apps for use with wine. All the drive
definations seem to be up for the user to choose. It seems
difficult to say, copy a dll to /usr/lib/vsts/foobar.dll and
have it do the right thing.

But then, I’m fairly wine-ignorant (the windows api implementation,
and the beverage as well). Anyone familar with packaging up
win apps for wine?

USAF Museum Engine Gallery

Apparently, the Air Force has a Engine Museum. Thats cool.

Appropriately timed, since as I tried to sleep last night, and
the just a bit too much sudafed kept me awake, I starting
thinking about engine designs, and how far you could push
the boundaries. Aka, say, a 1.5 liter inline twelve (not
that far from mid 80’s Formula 1 engines). Or a multiple
row radial 2 stroke (perhaps made from junked dirt bike
engines…). Or even a modern radial/rotary (aka, like
a radial, but the old style where the cylinders actually
rotate about a fixed crankshaft).

But I digress.

So, apprently the Tommy Gun cd release party show

Weird.
