A Cajun-Asian View

I just decided to use an image that I had found in relation to one of my favorite animes:

Looks like Beryl developers are talking about merging with Compiz. Beryl originally forked from Compiz because several developers were dissatisfied with the amount of patches that were being rejected and the conservative route Compiz was taking. Hopefully, this possible merge is a sign of good things to come, and that the advances that Beryl has made can be merged with the stability that Compiz has aimed for.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I had installed Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft 64-bit version onto my gaming system to see if I can get the Nvidia 8800 GTS card working with it. Since I went that far, I took the tiny extra step and setup Beryl to run on it, and this is the result! It is quite smooth, even with the blurring effects (which do have some buggy artifacts that occur at times. I'm sure that will be worked out over time). Too bad flash doesn't work (Adobe didn't release a 64-bit Flash Player version for Linux), but truthfully, I don't miss it....
