I've been asked about a Nicholaz 1.20 build, but at the moment RL has me in it's firm grip again and I haven't looked at 1.20 since RC5 which had broken most of my patches.
From what I've heard, two of the major memory leaks are fixed. Even if what the Lindens claim (35 crash reasons fixed) is just half true, their 1.20 could run better and more stable than any Nicholaz viewer ever did.
I'll currently simply wait what happens with their new release and will then see if it will be worth the effort to try another iteration.

Hippo Awards
The Lindens announced this year's Hippo awards and are calling for nominations. The process is tedious (it goes through the JIRA, adding subtasks to task representing the various categories).
You may remember (or not) that I was last year's over all winner and went away with a nice iMac. Obviously this was a different time, a time when everybody thought that contributions would continue to be readily accepted and not largely ignored.
I'm a pretty ambivalent about this years awards, given that the Nicholaz Edition is now more of an independent viewer and given that I even stopped making submissions. I'm pretty proud of my last one about the Asstachments, which was around January, but the feedback from the Lindens (essentially calling it a cheap band aid) about was less than thrilling. Others which I'm equally proud of, actually the ones which make most of the difference between Linden versions and Nicholaz Editions, have hardly been accepted or I pulled them out after seeing them ignored for months.
Well, anyway ... someone asked me for some of my submissions, so here is a list of the better ones.
