Working a bit on rebuilding my map stuff. I really should've never written it the way I did in the first place. Never fear, though -- once this is done, one of the major obstacles in the project plan will be out of the way and I can start generating sexy screenshots instead of tearing out the guts of the code. Very tempted to just go back to the old-school tilemaps, though; I dunno if the new polygonal maps will even look all that good. I'll let you be the judge of that after I kick out some screenshots.

I also picked up an 8GB Eee on Thursday and have been fiddling around with installing Ubuntu on it. It's an interesting little machine; certainly very eager to get going, and remarkably small. They could probably have picked a better hardware partner; Atheros are not exactly who I would go to first for Linux-friendly hardware.
