Day 10 – Second Life?

Ok so we last left off with Regnum Online giving me issues. I compiled new drivers for the ATI 7500 and rebooted. Then I tried running Regnum Online again. Same stupid Error Message cam up. Frustrated I sent a help request for their tech support folks. Not holding my breath.

Feeling a need to play a MMO type game I gave in and installed Second Life. Call me a loser now, LOL. If you are on Second Life, add me as a friend VooDooStevie Mixmaster is the name of my character on there.

After installing the program from GetDeb I found there is a newer version of the game out so I downloaded it and copied the files over to the install location on my hard drive. And voila it worked.

I played the game for a bit. No issues with the game really. Nothing that would seem more like a bandwith issue, but they really smoothed it out since my last time playing it which was like 4 years ago.

I found some free clothes and items for my Avatar, tomorrow I will post the image of my Avatar as he is. Downside is I can’t get it to look more like me.

Everything else is running right. I’m still getting my podcasts fine, album art is still a little issue, but not 100% important to me, I can still listen to them which is what I really needed.

I am a little apprehensive as to how my music collection is sorted so I am looking for something to fix that. I think I have to pull the Podcasts out of that directory for things to properly sort things. I found cowbell as a music management and sorting utility so I will install that and see what happens.

It’s almost 2 weeks into this experiment. I need to get on the podcast thing soon! And play with Skype as well.
