About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Looking Glass Is Closer to Reality

eWeak: "With Sun's decision at the end of June to release its prototype three-dimensional desktop environment, known as Project Looking Glass, under the GPL, the flashy project took the first step toward being more than a fancy trade-show demo. After downloading and installing Release 0.5 of Looking Glass, I can report the project has matured enough to be a fancy demo right in my own cubicle. Following good instructions at [this site], I installed the project code on a machine running Fedora Core 2 and was able to pull up a mini-3-D desktop in which I could pan across the background and flip windows sideways instead of minimizing them."
