Some good reading there. Glad to see another dev hacking away on Haiku (and not just).

I was not aware of the falling leaves screensaver, but I just downloaded it...Nice! It's my screensaver now.

That's my nerd blog! That was a surprise. I didn't think anyone read it. :P

I have a lot of free time this week and plan on making big progress on the feed reader application. I hope it comes out ok.

Thanks for trying my screensaver. I really like it too. :) I think it'd be nice to have it included as part of the default Haiku installation. I think the code for it meets the high standards of a Haiku application, but I'm kind of unhappy with how much CPU it seems to require. I don't think there's any way to do "parallax scrolling" like that without redrawing the entire screen every frame. Oh, well. :(
