Well I haven’t blogged in a few days. Let me catch you up to speed. I fucked up something and KDE was all weirded out on me. So I reinstalled Ubuntu with Gnome. I got everything back up to par more or less. I compiled Super Maryo Chronicles from scratch for the new version. OMG it’s an addictive game, but I have problems getting past the second world. So weird getting back to 2D scrollers, LOL.

I decided to try out an online MMO called Vendetta Online. It’s a space type of MMO and it’s pretty decent. I’m just starting out so I am getting used to the controls and everything but it’s all in all a pretty smooth game.

So we’re past the 30 days of linux. So now with the reinstall… Or Install of a new desktop method, I of course had to install some apps and things that were necessary. And a lot of them were basically the same as before some are a little different.

One thing I didn’t mention is that in order to get the updates for the wireless, I actually had to create a network connection in the system settings area to get it going, but it  a real simple thing to get going.

This is a run down of what I did today and a little explanation of some things as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Well here it is, te 30th day and what am I doing? I am running Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu. Yet another new experimentation it seems, yet I am STILL not back under Windows!

I found that Kubuntu uses a lot of the same apps I was using before, Open Office is still there.. Oh wait, no it doesn’t no FireFox. It uses Konqueror as it’s web browser by default. But check this out, all those nifty things I was doing under Gnome that required extras, it’s all native here under KDE 4. Here’s some of the screen shots. I will report more about what I had installed and stuff tomorrow. Read on for the little gallery of pics.

I am still sorting out music. I said I had a large collection, didn’t I? Well now we are up to the T’s now. Hopefully I will be able to finish this up real soon. :O

Aside from sorting out the music files I decided to try out a little monitor program called Conky. The screenshot may be tough to view as a thumbnail so boost it up. Awww, Emma’s still playing with Daddy’s iPod… Oh wait this is about Conky, not Emma. Sorry was distracted.

Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. You can find more about it on their website.
