New XScreenSaver is out

The latest version of XScreesaver (version 4.14) is out. The entry which says "Another Windows crash in bsod" is of particular note to me since it's what I added last month.

I just downloaded and compiled the package, then copied the hacks/bsod executable to /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/ (where Red Hat 9 has the rest of the the default xscreensaver hacks) and ran the screensaver setup from within KDE. And I'll be damned if the screensaver "crash" doesn't look exactly like the picture of my wife's Windows XP machine blue-screening. It even has the name of the driver for Tracy's USB SmartMedia card reader that caused the crash (EPUSBDSK.SYS) right there at the bottom. From her PC to mine.

For some reason, I'm more than somewhat tickled about that.
