The spambots finally found my weblog, so the comment plugin is gone. Hope y'all don't miss it too much. Feel free to email me directly if you're unable to contain your rage over my scathing political commentary.

I guess I've been kind of anti-social for the past few months. I've been doing some work for Wis Technologies, who makes the world's most bad-ass real time video encoder ASIC, filling in some gaps in their reference software. They've been funding work on Spook, and although most of it hasn't yet gone back into the public tree, it's come a long ways. I also have some stream-relay code that I've yet to check in. Hm, Spook is looking kind of abandoned these days. I should poke it a bit more in the near future.

January has been consumed with a mad rewrite of the Linux driver for the WIS encoder. The old driver sucked mightily, so when Plextor wanted to their ConvertX product line to have Linux support (which didn't exist before only because it didn't occur to anybody), trashing the old code and starting from scratch was pretty much the only option. It came out pretty well though. It's in QA now and should be released via Plextor in a week or so.
