Turing Uncomplete

I play a number of games on my Arch laptop, and am addicted to all of them! If I try to quit first I get hot and cold flushes then the shakes, the horrible, horrible shakes… Anyway, read on at your own risk. In the interests of mental stability, I urge you to skip the [...]

Curse you, Linux gods! I got hopelessly addicted to Frozen Bubble! I finally decided to try it today after seeing people write good things about it on the Internet for a while, that was a mistake. It is the most fun and addicting game ever created. I shall show you a screenshot for those who [...]

I have just started transitioning from MSN/WLM to Jabber. I don’t expect I’ll ever completely transition, as many of my contacts use only MSN/WLM and few have heard of Jabber. Oh well, some of my contacts will be through Jabber, and I’ll mention Jabber to all new contacts I add just in case. Anyway, no [...]

Yesterday, I got the dispatch notification for my new portable harddrive, so I’m hoping that will arrive today or tomorrow. Now I just need to go to [...]

I’ve been googling about the ~/.rtorrent.rc file, and have come up with a series of entries that everyone should have, I’ll list them below, and justfy why I consider them so important; then you can make your own mind up as to whether to include them or not, or whether to use their equivalents in [...]

Last night, I had to scramble for my portable harddrive to salvage what I could from my old laptop. The harddrive was making some absolutely horrible grinding and scraping noises, I’d never heard anything like it! I copied a bit of music I had downloaded, some wallpapers, and a couple of scripts. They are all [...]

I have been a big fan of Deluge since I first tried it. It was faster than the other clients I had tried, and often managed to connect to more peers. I was even more happy with the 0.6 version, it worked better than the previous version and had a nicer interface. I thought I [...]

Today, I switched back to Xmonad from Openbox. I did this for a few reasons, which I’ll explain below, however I would not recommend you make the change unless you’re really willing to learn - because chances are a tiling window manager is unlike anything you’ve used before, and that puts off quite a lot [...]

I have just compiled another list of distributions and operating systems I want to try. I shall post it here in case you’re curious. Key: - = Tried, and finished with. + = Tried, and want to try again. > = Permament favourite. * = Not yet tried.
