beautiful :)
geeky people doing geeky things... :)
I remember, that some time ago I saw results of a "most obfuscated C code
programming contest" - and just could shook my head.. (and bringing back the
"geek code" http://www.geekcode.com to my mind)

regarding coding:
Number of downloads of my win32 rockbox-sdk package at
http://rockbox.my-vserver.de/win32-sdk.html has reached 200 today. (site is
online for just 5 weeks).
For me this looks like there actually is MUCH interest in coding for
rockbox.

regards
Roland
