Okay...the resizing and moving is done. Now on to the installing M$ Winblows XL...

The Things I Do to Slay Monsters.

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

While setting up WoW in Linux was a heroic and generally studly feat, it became obvious that 4-10 FPS (you can see what kind of FPS you get buy pushing CTRL+R in-game) is not going to cut it for actual play. Also given that I wanted to work on music ...

Warcraft on Ubuntu: Take 2.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

I DID IT. I got Warcraft to run in Linux. It looks just like it does on Windows. Unfortunately for me, I have an Intel 915 graphics card on this laptop and though it is well supported under Linux, somehow DirectX is not as capable under Linux. So while the ...

Steely Dan’s “My Old School”.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Steely Dan is awesome, on this we can all agree. In fact I've discovered that there are two types of Steely Dan songs: songs I love and songs I don't love yet. Lately my favorite song is "My Old School" off the "Count Down to Ecstasy" album. All this aside ...

WoW in Ubuntu.

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Well...so far I've got World of Warcraft installed and starting with no errors. I'm now installing Burning Crusade and we'll see if it still starts. If this works, I'm going to have to try some more Windows apps. Maybe Ableton Live... EDIT: B00, It doesn't run very well. It starts and ...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Happy Thanksgiving folks! In honor of such an American holiday, I figured I'd post a video of a real American. LOL. Anyone else remember Wally George? Unless you watched LA public access cable in the 80's, you probably missed it. Enjoy! EDIT: He was also in Repossessed, Grunt! The Wrestling Movie, ...

Portal Ending Music.

Monday, November 19th, 2007

This is the ending music from "Portal", one of the "Half-Life" based games on the "Orange Box" disc. I heard them play it on TWiT today and wanted to share. It's written by Jonathan Coulton and it's quite fun. Someone pointed him out to me a while back, no sure ...

When Pigs Fly: The Death of Oink.

Friday, November 16th, 2007

I read a really interesting article on the death of the current music industry. It sums up a lot of what I believe and why I believe it. When Pigs Fly: The Death of Oink, the Birth of Dissent, and a Brief History of Record Industry Suicide. "I thought there were plenty ...

Segull Dorito Thief!

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Meet Sam. Sam is a Scottish Seagull with a bit of a klepto streak. He's been stealing bag of chips from his local convenience store. Always the same chips: Tangy Cheese Doritos. I wonder what got to him first, the additives or the advertising?

Uh oh. I think I'm into Anime again....at 30 you'd think I'd be immune, but no such luck.
