Brutal ATi Drivers — I think.

October 30, 2006

Man, these past two days I’ve been trying to help Pat get his box going with Fedora, but the damn graphics card won’t work. That is to say, the card works, but will not load the appropriate drivers or something. It has to do with DRI/DRM and the agp port. I don’t know if it [...]

New Project

October 29, 2006

I just thought of this while messing with wordpress. I want a RSS client. A good one. For Podcasts too. I’m making one. As per usual, it will be first done in python+wxPython. When I’m along into C/C++, I might move it over, but I can still keep the wxWidgets UI for it then. I [...]

FC6 and painful essays

October 29, 2006

I should be working on my essay right now. I just can’t get into it. Shouldn’t have spent my day working on getting Fedora Core 6 going. It is nice to be back in a *nix environment. Programming is so much more natural feeling here, although that is probably because it is where I started [...]

New Page

October 26, 2006

I don’t know that it pops up saying I made a new page, but I did. ImageCloud has its own page now. Yeah, over on your right. Might have to scroll down a little. I don’t know if I’ll host the src there, or off site. I want a free host, I’m cheap.

Logo

October 25, 2006

Whilst working on myEnglish paper, I got bored. Big surprise. Anyway, I whipped up a logo for image cloud. The camera is Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.5 . Thanks Wikipedia

GPL vs BSD

October 25, 2006

I’ve been doing some reading. This GPLv3 looks kinda’ controlling. I think I may want a new license (which I should probably post here). I hear that the BSD license is “true freedom.” Anyone have any opinions?

Less posts == More hits

October 25, 2006

I’ve noticed, the longer I go with out posting the more frequently I get hits via search engines. I know, it sounds like an odd correlation, but the little graphs in the Blog Stats page prove it. Anyway, I have walls now. Which rocks. Thanks Uncle Dave, Uncle John, and Anthony. Also, I went to [...]

Simple Pleasures

October 12, 2006

I woke up today after a good 10 hours of sleep. That was great. Followed that up with a nice ham and cheese omelet (omelette?) . That was great. I figured out the bug with Neverwinter Nights in FreeBSD too, so now I can play freely (simply had to add compat5x_enable=”YES” to /etc/rc.conf so the [...]

FreeBSD

October 10, 2006

It’s been a while. I recieved the new hard drive from BestBuy, and I can’t express how nice it is to have space again. With the new freedom, I decided to forego installing linux, and give this FreeBSD thing a try. I’m finding it to be rather nice. It’s as simple to get into as [...]

A great README
