Linux

When I bought my Xbox360 a while ago I bought a WRT54G2 v1. Well recently I decided to bite the bullet and risk bricking it to install DD-WRT. DD-WRT is an Open Source firmware that you can install on some Linux based routers. I am really glad I took the risk DD-WRT is amazing. It has made my router incredibly configurable and generally awesome. I look forward to playing with DD-WRT more and using it for some possibly projects I have in mind.

So yeah I no longer have my own computer. I am using one of my parents and it runs Windows. It's really bumming me out. I really miss using Linux, not only does this computer run Windows but it's also really really old.

So yeah I decided I wanted a CLI podcast client that I could run using cron every half hour. I wanted all the new episodes to show up on my Desktop so that I could listen to them and then delete them. I tried a couple of ways to do this first using mashpoder which is based on bashpodder and then deciding on just bashpodder. I modified bashpodder slightly so yeah here's what I did.

Here are some pictures of my kitten Tux.  Tux get's his name from the Linux mascot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux

I was going through the games section on Synaptic package manager and looking for a clone of the game Worms.
I ended up coming across this game called Hedgewars which is allot like Worms and haven't been able to quite playing it.
I'm not much of a gamer but once in a blue moon I find a game that I really really like and get addicted to playing it
for weeks on in then eventually forget about it or lose interest in it. I have a feeling this one will be different though.
:D

While surfing the intertubes in the past few days Ive found two videos that are just so AWESOME I would like to share them. The first one if some (awesome) chiptune and the second is the MegaMan 3 theme with lyrics
Videos are embeded after the break

So I noticed that a couple of the phpbb sites I ran all of a sudden got attacked by large amounts of spam. I found this interesting because it happened to a couple sites and we had never gotten any spam before. I went into IRC and it turns out that a lot of people have been under attack all of a sudden. I am currently looking into a way to get recaptcha working on phpbb3, and it's my hope that, that would remedy the issue.

So yeah I tried 9.04 but it really didn't turn out well. It basically crashed X and dropped me into command line. So yeah I think I will try it when the beta comes out.

So yeah apparently Aplha 3 of Ubuntu 9.04 came out so I have decided to try it out. One of two outcomes are going to going to happen. One it will fail horribly and I will cry, or two I will rock and I will rave about it.

So yeah cross your fingers.

So yeah I started a LUG for people living in Marathon County Wisconsin. If you are one of these people check it out: http://maralug.org/ If not feel free to ignore this post.
