The Infinite Slack Screensaver
by Frank on 12.04.08, under Projects
Update (01.02.09) – Version 1.2 – Customizable settings and a brand new psychedelic mode
Update (01.11.09) – Version 1.23 – Now fits in under 256KB file.
It has been said that every dot in the True Dobbshead is itself a True Dobbshead. Now there is proof. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Infinite Slack Screensaver.
Downloading and Installing
To install The Infinite Slack Screensaver, simply run the self installing setup program.
If you receive a missing dll error when the screensaver is run then it is likely that you don’t have a recent enough version of DirectX. Try updating DirectX via microsoft’s site here.

Warning: Staring directly at this screensaver for extended periods of time may cause a slack overload in some people.

Gorgeous! Hypnotic! The Hypno-Toad has nothing on us!
But still I yearn for the Mac version!

A mac version would be divine.

It’s what my computer always wanted.

It makes me vomit with glee. I am now complete.

I laughed, I cried, I slacked my pants.
Thank you for this gift of divinity.

I have made contemplation of the Sacred Halftone Dots a part of my worship for some time but this screensaver truly takes it to the next level.
The first version didn’t seem to work for me but the latest version does.

Thanks for the recursive halftone Dobbsheads.
I’ll be better sooner…
NG.

Nice. Now I just have to figure out how to get it on TV…

The screen saver won’t work on my pc, I tried updating my Directx to no avail. Anybody know what I should do, besides becoming despondent?

Praise the ShortDuration-Screen-Savior! Dobbs Approved!

All Hail Bob! No more Pinks around me since I installed this SS!
(BTW: To get it to work, and stay working, in Win Vista64 I had to move InfiniteSlack.scr from \Windows\SysWOW64\ to \Windows\ )

I once was lost but now I’m vertiginous and vomiting blood. Great Bob, life is good!
September 13th, 2009 on 3:44 pm
Someone PLEASE port this SS to Linux so it can be used it Slackware!
