I’ve just discovered a new game engine - Panda3D it’s called and it’s developped by Disney and Carnegie Mellon. Hmmm, these guys are interesting, let’s see what they’ve done.

After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided to give a try to Nomad for Internet connection at home. Usually I use Internet at work and rarely at home but sometimes I badly need Internet at home coz I’ve forgotten to download something - and this is happening more and more these days.
