But today I really had a hard time surviving the inquisition of our build manager who told me that the splash task I added to our buildfile caused the build process to fail. This was because we use a headless display for our builds. It crashed because it couldn't find the X11 Libraries and the necessary display resources. So take good care of when and where to use, or it can cause you a real pain in the ass....and result in a lower morale ;)</p> Well, I agree that this can be a real eye candy and be used to make people laugh.
