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.

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.

Not much done today because I was watching TV and spending time with the family, but I did configure Evolution to pick up my GMail through POP3.

Evolution is the native mail client for Gnome. I prefer using GMail via web lately but I think I might use Evolution here and there. I also added a few contacts from Google’s mail which was an easy export and import. The nice thing about the contacts is it helps create a full adress book that you can add important dates and mailing info as well. This might be handy for other reasons as well, i.e. Family functions and mailing lists for holidays.

Aside from that I did my usual syncing of podcasts, general browsing, played a few games of Same Gnome and looked around for some MMO’s to check out. I installed PlaneShift to try it out. I haven’t created an account on their site to do so yet, but I heard a good write up of it. I will review it later on. There are a few others I am going to try out. Of course Second Life is available for Linux, but I sooooo want to stay away from that for some reason. I think primarily it’s because there really is no point to that game. I mean no level ups, no fighting beasts, you just fly around and talk. It’s a chat room on meth and just as addictive.
