Today I found a Windows version of the PSP game Lumines. For the people who don't know what Lumines is. Lumines is a puzzel music games for the PlayStation Portable.

I wonder how many skins there are out there, the PSP version has a lot. The game can be downloaded from the authors website.

I'm excited about my new usenet provider eweka.nl from wich I finally get the speed I deserve.

This way you don't have to set up an entire environment to test a small piece of functionality.
