The last couple days I have been fixing bugs and working on the video drivers. Very 
soon I'm hoping to write the text layout engine that will make 'real' apps possible in 
PicoGUI and port PicoGUI to some actual handheld platforms. 

There's a good chance I'll be getting an inexpensive VTech Helio soon due to it's good 
Linux support. I have been offered a donation of an Agenda VR3, but the shipping from 
Portugal might be a problem :)  I have this Philips Nino, but it's on hold for the 
moment until I muster up the courage to port PicoGUI to WinCE.
Heck, I was reading the perl manpages and I might even write an XS module to resurrect 
the old perl client lib!

Documentation is on the todo list too

Anyway, yesterday I comitted a new app, 'gremlin', that is good for stress-testing 
apps with random input. I already used it to find a memory leak and crash bug that I 
fixed, and I found a couple more that I noted but haven't fixed yet.

I'm also about to commit some bugfixes and improvements (a few that make the linear* 
drivers smaller) to the video subsystem, including a new benchmarking mode that should 
help with the driver coding.

Happy codink!
