Old games, new places
Interesting release yesterday. 3DRealms (aka "it'll be done when its done"), in their usual April 1st humour, released the source to another one of its classic games, Shadow Warrior. Some of us older folks will remember this along with the ever funny DukeNukem. The source has already been ported to use OpenGL here and the icculus.org folks with another port from the original dos to unix, heres the details. Fast porting, though with Duke Nukem already ported for a while, its not surprising.

Outing benchmarks
One of the benchmarks we run internally just recently escaped into the wild of sourceforge. Its Filebench. It simulates some application workloads without having the application, eg webserving, fileserving, mail etc. More info on Filebench can be gleamed from Richard McDougal and Jim Mauro's Solaris Internals.
