The nprof 0.0 alpha release is now available! It’s mostly a proof-of-concept release, but it will profile most applications. Please try it out (see the download link here) and send me some feedback.

The first version of nprof (0.0) is in preparation for release.

The currently available features are:

• Multithreaded profilee support
• Callee function timing
• Basic GUI interface
• Sort by timing info

nprof is designed to be not only a profiling application, but a fully-featured API that can be used to build other profilers, as well as extend the default API.

I’ve made a PNG version of my OpenDVD artwork available for download. The server doesn’t support .png properly, so you might have trouble viewing the image without the supporting HTML.

Take a look at my OpenDVD artwork here. I’ve taken the CSS code and made it into a neat little image you could print and put on a poster or something. Warning: it’s about 120kB and pure HTML!

BTW, if you’re one of the many people like me worried about losing your freedom to view a movie you have legally purchased (shades of DIVX anyone?), go to OpenDVD, and support the good guys: the Electronic Frontier Foundation (the EFF).

Since AimsLab has gone out of business, I’ve started putting together a rescue page for people with AimsLab cards. Take a look at the page here. If you can contribute any drivers to this page, please email me ASAP and I’ll get them up there.
