Happy Birthday Tim! I hope you have an awesome time celebrating with your family! I agree, the Hudson Public Library worked well last time, and I'd be happy to reserve the conference room again if that's cool with folks. We should also have more options for eating afterwards as well now that restaurants have expanded their business hours: https://www.discoverhudson.org/taste/ - Josh On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 9:00 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > 0.

WLUG Meeting tonight (Virtual) at 7PM, usual Jitsi location.

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Enough people have reached out to me privately that they want to attend remotely, that I think it makes sense to do the meeting virtually this month. The meeting will be at the usual virtual place: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA <https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA>@7PM. Speaking with Frank WPI is off the table as a meeting location. Tonight I think it warrants a conversation about where we'd like to do physical meetings. They are going to happen, I'd like to pick a spot that works for everybody. I'm sure lots of other topics will come up as well. See ya there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Inertia Blast

by Dennis Payne

There is "-w" for windowed mode. It is really small on most displays as it is 320x200. It never really bothered me but I played it again focusing on the background drawing. I think it is caused from being stretched to a different aspect ratio. The old X11 implementation had a double screen size mode. I have that in Troll Bridge which is the code I based the Inertia Blast drawing code on. I'll try to add that in. Adding a full screen with black borders to keep the aspect ratio would be good too. I'll have to look into that.
