Farewell Costas

One of my favorite drummers, Κώστας Κουβίδης, was lost in a car accident in the early morning hours of April 26th, 2007.

I can still hear his signature rhythm in my head, like that time with Kontrafouris in Athens, or with Tilemachos in Thessaloniki..

Costas, you will be missed..

Sylphis3D has been GPL'ed!

I still can't believe it.. We were all hoping for this to happen sometime, but the actual news took us by storm! Sylphis3D, one of the most advanced 3D engines out there, has been made OpenSource!

Congrats to the lead developer Harry Kalogirou, who turned a part-time project into a landmark in the gamedev world. I hope the project will flurish in many exciting ways, bringing the "cream of the crop" in 3D to the OpenSource community.

Bravo Harry!
