First, you should know that I absolutely love your first name. :)
The screensaver isn't bad, and it gets pretty trippy when you focus at
infinity and let the 3D-Illusions (TM) effect set in. If I were to make
one suggestion, it would be to animate Beastie, so that he walks around
the screen rather than teleporting everywhere.
However, I'm quite fond of the green_saver module, which shuts down my
monitor after 15 minutes. Other screensavers are really just for
entertainment; I think green_saver is the only one that serves a really
good purpose.
