Brutal ATi Drivers — I think.

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 [...]

FC6 and painful essays

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 [...]

GPL vs BSD

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?

A great README

I’m sure most of you can understand this one : http://beyond-summit.blogspot.com/2006/09/no-i-cant-fix-your-computer.html

The Adventures in Pascal : CIS 136 (and a laptop!)

So a part of me is hating learning to program before taking this class. It’s boring. Well, I shouldn’t say boring . I didn’t learn (Turbo) Pascal, so it does have that benefit, but the concepts are rather painful to go over after learning them already. I decided to put of actual class work to [...]

Apple, the iPod, and C programming

I like Apple. I REALLY do. They wouldn’t fix my iPod, citing accidental damage or abuse. Not too surprising, I am rather hard on my stuff. I did find a renewed interest in the homebrew mp3 player scene. Make magazine had a couple good examples (http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/08/open_source_mp3_player_kits.html), as is the EchoMP3 Player (http://www.techdesign.be/projects/020/020.htm). I’ll probably end [...]

Pascal Class and School in general

Why is it that classes feel compelled to assign homework, en masse, when I am just starting to think I can get some time off?  I had an arse-load of Pascal homework due (8 pages of questions, typed in Courier New, 10pt, single spaced, not including the answers) and a group presentation due in English. [...]

Funny Images

I was surfing the internet and stubled onto my old site. I was happy to find my old code, and even more happy to find the following image:

Ubuntu, ARG!

Okay. Does anyone else HATE Ubuntu? I’m so frakking tired of hearing about it. Everyone talks about it. It is always on Digg.com, and it irritates the hell out of me. It’s not that perfect. Oh, “Apt-Get/Synaptic is so great.” Um..  Debian anyone? It’s based off it. I’m just tired of people always talking about [...]
