Your camera display is full-screen by default - that means that every time you sync, the current camera view is going to overwrite everything.

If you want to see other stuff alongside, then you have to redraw that every time you sync too.

Put the camera control and the text drawing into the same loop as the sync and it'll work fine.

BTW, 1440x900 isn't a resolution that everyone can use. The laptop I'm using right now doesn't go that high. If you are going to post code, then it's best to make the effort not to depend on a fixed display size, or if that's too much, to use one that's more general (1024x768 or lower).
