After a few evenings of work toadlet now has SSE2 optimizations for the egg library matrix math operations! It took a bit of fighting to get proper compiler flag detection to enable sse on the various posix platforms, but thanks to CMake the process was easier than it could have been. Faster math is always a good thing. http://code.google.com/p/toadlet

So we type a lot over here at LT. A Whole lot. And some of us are pretty particular about our keyboards, specifically highly-tactile clicky keyboards. So it pained me greatly last week when my well aged Model M clicky keyboard finally had the 7 key fail. Nothing I could do would recover it. (The NumLock had failed some time ago, but I had pressed on. You do what you can...)

But when you keep a spare 7 and & symbol on an open notepad across all desktops for ready copy-paste, that's a sign it's time for a change.

A couple of months ago we posted a blog entry comparing Mercurial and Subversion for use in toadlet. After 2-3 months of heavy Hg use, we're now totally convinced of the complete excellence that is distributed version control.
