ck's archive: eddie's fast

I got texturing working on flat surfaces, but the spheres are still a bit off:

I was annoyed with eddie lately, since it would seem to get really slow without use. I thought that it was probably letting its drives spin down, but that wasn't the case. after compiling a new kernel, I poked around in the bios a bit and noticed that it was set to drop to 25% cpu speed after fifteen minutes without input. Obviously, since it does everything over a network (bypassing its input devices), that's a bad idea, so I turned it off and now everything's snappy. A dual 50MHz Pentium Pro system isn't nearly as much fun as a dual 200MHz rig.
