• Movies

    Posted on August 31, 2005

    Can I just take a quick break to mention how much ass it sucks that I have to do things like this to even consider trying to play DVDs under Linux. I was all psyched to get some movies that I’ve been waiting on, but I don’t have the time... [Read More]

  • Needy Artificial Intelligence

    Posted on August 30, 2005

    Interesting post over at Terra Nova about The Pathos of Nintendogs. I’ve spoken with Russ about the game before, and the overall appeal still escapes me.

  • Webzine 2005

    Posted on August 30, 2005

    The Webzine tickets are on sale now. What is webzine? Here’s a schedule, check it out for yourself. I’ve heard about it mostly from Scott at Laughing Squid, which is more than enough of an endorsement for me to plunk down a measly $20 on a two day event. [Read More]

  • Linux WPA

    Posted on August 25, 2005

    I’ve had a background task running that steals a few cycles whenever I should be sleeping and checks out what it would get to make the laptop I have from work do WPA. I have a Thinkpad R51 I inherited, and while I wait for my laptop to come in... [Read More]

  • Google Talk: Services? Server to Server?

    Posted on August 24, 2005

    Okay, not that I have the time to play with something new, but I had to get this out of my system cause I haven’t seen other comments yet (Well, except this one). One of the reasons I got really jazzed about Google Talk running XMPP underneath is because XMPP... [Read More]

  • PSP 2.0 Firmware

    Posted on August 24, 2005

    I snagged a PSP a while ago, figuring it would be fun for games but mostly wanting to hack on it. Sony really doesn’t like people being able to do what they want with Sony devices, so the thing is rife with all sorts of crippling roadblocks to innovation (I... [Read More]
