Lack of creative themes

December 23, 2006

So, I’m back in Enlightenment. It was my first X11 Windowmanager, and it is still my favorite. The thing I love the most has to be the creativity that it allows for in theme-ing. Don’t get me wrong, I DO NOT theme. I’m far to lame to pull that off. What bothers me is the [...]

Luxury of Break

December 21, 2006

Seeing as how my classes are now out for the winter break, and I’m back to my FreeBSD box, I have a chance to work on a few things. First off, I plan to be done with the C Book (‘The C Programming Language” by Kernighan and Ritchie), touched on my Greek Lessons, [...]

Put that pointer away!

December 3, 2006

I’ve been working on imagecloud more, and listening to my sister tell me how it needs a gui for mass appeal. I don’t disagree, but I am the LAST person one wants designing one of those. Think… http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/wgetgui-screenshot.png . Don’t get me wrong, I love wget, but I don’t know that the average user loves [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
