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.

I got Skype, LiVES, Audacity and VLC installed, however I haven’t really played with anything.  For some reason I was having some issues with Songbird.. GOing to reinstall it soon.  But mostly I was checking out Amarok.

Now Amarok is a decent player, however I am sketchy on the organization thing it does. It really messes up on the ID3 tags sometimes.

I have a few tunes (1 Andrew W.K. tune, Some “Weird Al” tunes and some Kabuto the Python tracks) which it decided to put everyone in mismatched folders. *sigh*

I hope I can get back to Songbird. I loved that program’s sorting feature a lot better. Also Amarok uses Amazon ONLY for the album art. WTF? Nothing I listen to is on there. BAH!

That’s it for today.

So looking at the version of firefox that I had I realized that it’s OLD. I uninstalled the old version (I think) and installed the more up-to-date one. And while I did that I noticed that Songbird got uninstalled. WHOOPS! No biggy, reinstalled perfectly.

Now I have the latest version of Firefox.

I also removed the little desktop folder off the desktop and kept icons… I have to think of using a dock. Going to look for a decent one under KDE. SO that is about all I did for today.

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.
