KaleidoShine screensaver, new version

New version uploaded:
http://home.earthlink.net/~shaku8jinn/mir/mo/zip/KaleidoShine.zip

Added a "Brightness" control, a "Restart a new set of shapes every X minutes" control, and a "Random mode" checkbox to the Settings dialog.

To install the screensaver, the KaleidoShine.scr file should be unzipped and copied to the WINDOWS folder. Previously, I mentioned copying it to the WINDOWS/system32 folder, but either folder will work.

KaleidoShine screensaver

Version 1.0.0.3 of my KaleidoShine screensaver is now available:
- added a "Vivid colors / less pastels" option (this was a default in the previous version, but is now configurable)
- changed the seed for the random function to be more random by multiplying it by the thread id

I think the colors are looking better now. If anyone is interested in the source code, let me know. It is coded in Microsoft Visual C++ v7.

alcoholic beverages

I've determined that I seem to like liqueurs, aka cordials, in general. Some are easier to drink than others, probably due to lower levels of alcohol in them, but so far all the ones I've tried have tasted good or at least ok. Whereas wines taste like vinegar to me, and vodka (or was it gin?) tastes interesting but not like something that ought to be ingested, and rum and whiskey don't taste good, etc.

Liqueurs I've tasted so far, and the main flavor of each:

Tia Maria - coffee
Galliano - orange
Godiva (original) - chocolate
Chambord - black raspberry
Disaronno - apricot kernel (like almond)
Jaegermeister - herbs
Frangelico - hazelnut

I also have Midori (melon) and Tuaca (vanilla/citrus) which I have not tried yet. Mind you, I still can only drink a little bit of these at a time, but at least now I can say that there are some alcohols I like.
