I am having a few problems with Python / Pygame. It was working fine, but then the next time I booted up nothing worked.
I've re-compiled it all and about to try again.
Also I am hoping to compile build mupdf (a fast pdf viewer).
I've been running the RPi through a nice 1080p tv this morning. It looks good.
EDIT
Here's a screen-shot: viewing "PracticalCommonLisp.pdf" with mupdf while I have a little play with hello-world in CommonLisp.
fun!

It's easy to compile zathura and it's very fast.

I made a GUI for it using gtkdialog.

Thanks Don. I'll have a go if mupdf doesn't satisfy me!
Check out my ftp site if you want to have a play with:

Is anyone planning or is looking at gtkdialog C source code?
Any tips?

There is a problem - the 'pull down' menu appears at the base of the program . . .
I will be looking at the code this weekend with Shadow . . .
actually he will be looking at the code and I will be making tea . . .
No promises. Will do what we can . . .

Thought it would be nice to have a Life program on the Pi.
I've uploaded the binaries
here.

I have changed the icons and JWM theme. Otherwise this is pretty much what boots to the Raspberry Pi powered desktop . . .
USB recognition and many other things awaiting debugging.

Sadly me and Shadow were unable to fix gtkdialog

gosh long time since I used the links browser . . .
Anyway it is working and I am posting from Sap6. The keyboard arrow keys are not working, (something I also noticed in Abiword). So am using the mouse to position the cursor . . .
You also get Geany and leafpad text editors - so that and Rox and a terminal and already feels at home. I may have to change the background image. Oh it may be childish but it makes me feel at home . . . come to think of it I am using a primitive Puppy with a Puppy menu and some of the Puppy programs running on ARM.

then there is also portable opera?

OK had a go with the devx SFS but it crashed out at 40MB download and I am told I have no more room on my 4GB SD card.
Will delete file and see if I still have a working SD image . . .

That would be because you tried to download to the first partition, which is only 64MB.

Yes I am an embarrassment to the kennel.
The enclosed file is psync which sets the Puppy clock by linking from
time servers on the net.
This is taken straight from Slacko and may be of use. I have not modified.
If the clock is off by a series of hours, in the command line type:
Not tried that in sap6 - but worked in Debian Squeeze and . . .

Just a thought, but could NetSurf be worth a look? I know it doesn't have Javascript currently, but one of the platforms it runs on is RISC OS, which is an ARM-based OS. In fact, I'm typing this on the RISC OS version right now. Source is available from the NetSurf website
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/source/ - the current stable version is 2.9.
Dad's just received shipping notification for his own Raspberry Pi!

Yes - Netsurf works well. I use that on my Pi.

I have used Netsurf = good, reliable
and Chrome = good (comes with Flash) does not crash the computer if there are browser issues
Midori (in Debian Squeeze) was not reliable/usable
Links = odd - no javascript for example but speedy, find it useful
Have not tried FireFox or Opera on Rpi or any other browsers . . .
