Do You Want To Play A Game? On Linux?
July 15th, 2010 | Author: VooDooStevie
The biggest reason people shy away from Linux is definitely gaming. However what they don’t realize is that there are really some great Linux Native games out there. And a lot of games that run under windows can be ran under Linux under Wine.
I’m going to take you through a tour of the games I have tried running and give you an idea of the stuff that is out there. Please bear in mind I am running this all on my Acer 5720Z, which I have some issues with some games, but that has no bearing on the OS per se. It’s more the graphic drivers that are available for the Intel 965 Graphics built into it at this time. There are newer drivers that are out, however I had experienced some issues with the unstable kernel they were running under so I had wound up reinstalling everything back to before making that switch. Anyway read on for the tour of gaming on Linux…

Adventures in DVD Authoring in Ubuntu
July 2nd, 2010 | Author: VooDooStevie
I have made DVD’s before under Windows Vista using the Microsoft DVD Creator software and using Power Producer as well. But now under Linux I wanted to create DVD’s of the movies I have ripped (or downloaded) or created so that we can watch them on our DVD player or give the DVD’s as gifts for family and friends.

Day 24 – Lazy Sunday
August 24th, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
It’s a lazy sunday for sure. I watched TV most of the day then went to my parents to return a rug cleaner.
I didn’t really pick up the laptop except to check the weather and search for the phone number for a pizza joint that we got pizza from a while back. Also I updated my ipod as I do every day and did a little stumbling (StumbleUpon) using the firefox bar extension.
I also installed the Trillian smiley set for Pidgin. I forgot I had it on my external HD. There is still some things that are on there I have to decide on keeping on there.
Looks like MySQL stopped working for some reason. I don’t know why. Looks like I am going to have to research this crap now. *sigh*
I also found that Songbird has an iPod add-on but it looks like it’s geared more towards earlier generation iPod’s. It picks my iPod up but it’s not seeing my playlist on there. Also I tried subscribing to some podcasts and it didn’t pick up anything when I added a subscription (Distorted View was my test subject for this). Let’s hope the next day is better.

Day 15 – Mmp (mixero, mysql, passout)
August 15th, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
Oh Oh! We’re half way there-air! Oh whoa! Getting my tweets through AIR.
Ok, that was lame. But seriously I have tried a new AIR app called Mixero and it’s pretty nice. Not as extensive as Tweetdeck, but very compact. A nice feature is you can make “channels” out of search items or hash tags
And you can group your contacts a litttle easier than Tweetdeck in my opinion. But at any rate this has nothing to do really with Linux because AIR is crossplatform. I thought I’d just share this little finding.
