JTrackIR is my Java binding. Not a big thing, but maybe useful to somebody.

What people consider interesting...: Recently I reviewed my blogs access statistics and was quite puzzled why my latest blog about 3D cloud rendering attracted only very few readers. Only about 10% of what I usually have. My expectations have been quite the opposite.

MS FlightX, FlyingGuns and clouds in the sky: For the FlyingGuns project there are so many things to do that I never even started to think about cloud rendering.

Quick tabbedpane switching w/o sacrifying mnemonics: Having JTabbedPanes with many tabs can be awkward concerning keyboard usage. Per-tab mnemonics are not really an option because they really limit the number of available mnemonics for the tabs own valuable content! The TabSwitcher utility can help!
