i was about to build chromium on linux today. why? well why not! i installed all the pre-req libraries. downloaded the source, a 700MB-ish tarball, that shocked me by extracting to near 2GB. i surveyed the documentation further..this time actually paying attention to details. and it appears that to build the app i’d need like […]
recently, as in today, i decided to try a quake1 modernized port..but first! some memories… i remember quake1 coming out years ago. it was big news that even made it to the mainstream newspapers. i think this happened because of the phenomenon doom created. quake was supposed to be a medieval dark fantasy game and […]
stronghold is a medieval themed RTS that came out in 2001. i’m fairly sure my friend howard had bought a copy of it when it came out. i played it back then and enjoyed it, but never in depth. recently, i’m playing the whole game through. despite just the cool idea of being able to […]
i’m a big fan of the transmission bittorrent client, having ditched azureus/vuze some time ago. though i used azureus for a very long time..it was pretty close to being my first bt client, but now it’s time to move on. the commandline version of transmission (transmissioncli) is decent but doesn’t seem to be as featureful […]
a kit i’d definitely like to mess around with: http://www.ladyada.net/make/x0xb0x/index.html i could buy it piecemeal.. haven’t soldered anything in forever should be a fun experience. more interesting kits here: http://www.adafruit.com
darkstone is from 1999. i think that’s the year i first played it. it’s an rpg like diablo, but with 3d graphics. i can’t recall if i ever finished it back then or not. the bad stuff: pretty cheap voice acting. the good stuff: fun to play to be continued…
ever since i installed debian on my nslu2 i’ve been overjoyed by the results. previously, i had relied on old pentium3 PCs to become my always on linux boxes. but now i’m obsessed with the idea of super low power ARM devices that aren’t loud and noisy, and don’t take up a lot of space. […]
i upgraded my laptop to 2010 last friday and spent most of the weekend sort of tweaking things. the laptop has been through many a mandriva upgrade.. so it’s far from a clean slate. i can’t remember certainly but i think i first installed 2008.1 on this laptop then 2009 > 2009.1 > 2010. crisis […]
i haven’t done a lot with ESXi yet except make a VM running it. just for future notes ESXi needs a SCSI disk and i think with a LSI logic controller, also it needs at minimum 2GB of ram, and an intel 1000 NIC. the vmx file can be edited to achieve these settings (i […]
just recently began playing bf2 again. here’s a reminder…for setting up the dedicated server w/ bots you need at least patch 1.3+ (i believe). i used to know that years ago but forgot. the game is not as cool as i remember it, that’s probably because i’ve played call of duty 4 since then. COD4 […]
