Nice to finally know that some of the list mail I've sent over the last
couple of months has bounced now.
And that I haven't received newbies mail since March. . . Good thing I'm
getting all of it now.
Any idea what dislodged all of this from phantom?

Hey all,
I've been thinking about trying to do some gaming and flight simulators
that can use a joystick, but was wondering about the joystick support in
Linux. I haven't been able to find very much information about how well
modern sticks are supported. Has anyone on the list played with this
before? Any recommendations?
I'm under the impression that a lot of controllers and joypads have
moved to USB, and with USB comes the HID (Human Interface Device)
specification. This means each button maps to an index of an HID call,
and you can press your 'a' button and have the game record it as HID[7].
I've used it to play Legend of Zelda III (I own a hard copy) on my
computer. It's probably more complicated than that, but you should be
able to find a copy of the HID spec somewhere and edit your OSS game to
use it if it's not already built in.
An accompanying thought is the fact that you could find a cheaper USB
chip and a simple processor and try to build an HID compliant system for
any use you could conceive. I'm not sure if the old proto-board we were
pushing last semester had that setup.

On campus job listing for School of Education

I know it's late in the semester, but if you are, or know a student
who is pretty good with computers, we have an opening as an assistant
CSR in the School of Education. Why, you ask, might you wish to work
here?
While the current position is taking Dave's old hours, MWF 2-5, in
future semesters, you can schedule your hours around your classes
between 8 and 5. The population of the School of Education is ~97%
female. Lots of cool people work here. The work is fairly easy trouble
shooting (Windows and Mac), and I find it a nice break from coding,
homework, classes and the stress of my own problems. Yes, this job is
a lot of tech support, but you can go right to the persons desk rather
than solving problems over the phone, so you can get to know lots of
interesting people. If you take the job, and pick up my Tuesday hours,
I'll buy you a candy bar.
Contact me if you are interested ASAP, though I suspect my boss will
list it through campus jobs in the near future.
