Games : Stepmania StepMania is a free dance and rhythm game featuring 3D graphics, dance pad support, and a step editor.

A life bar measures whether or not your performance is sufficent to pass the song and continue play. At the end of the song, you recieve a score and overall grade. www.stepmania.com auto step generator music from Steffen Coonan on music.podshow.com theme from Brand New Sin on music.podshow.com beer on this episode : Kasteelbier Bruin

I. multimedia software : MythTV MythTV is a homebrew PVR project that I've been working on in my spare time. It's been under heavy development for almost four years, and is now quite useable and featureful. from the developer : "I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that ATandT Broadband provides with their digital cable service. It's slow to change channels, ridden with ads, and the program guide is a joke. So, I figured it'd be fun to try and build a replacement. Yes, I could have just bought a TiVo, but I wanted to have more than just a PVR -- I want a webbrowser built in, a mail client, maybe some games. Basically, I want the mythical convergence box that's been talked about for a few years now." mythtv.org mythtv.org/docs mythtv.org/wiki Myth on Mac x86 winmyth.sourceforge.net MythTV on Debian Etch music from Michael Gomez on music.podshow.com theme from Brand New Sin on music.podshow.com beer on this episode : Judas
