Every fifteenminutes 24/7 a new sheep is born and distributed to all clients fordisplay. Each sheep is an animated fractal flame.
This program is recommended only if you have a high-bandwidth, always-onconnection to the internet such as DSL or cable modem. For best results,let it run overnight to collect a whole flock. Laptop users might haveto adjust their power settings to accomplish this.

3D Desktop Butterflies 1.2
I spent ages trying to make them actually fly like butterflies. Sort of random andfluttery. When I looked at a couple of other butterfly screen savers they all flew in avery basic 'flap.. flap.. flap' fashion which made them look like a wind up aeroplanekinda deal. Still not sure I've got it quite right, but I do think it's cool to watch. Andthe way they land on both the desktop and the 'glass' of your monitor I think looks nicetoo. I dunno, I just like it!
