I’m coming off my Christmas break, but oddly I haven’t felt like blogging at all. I shall provide random bullet points and call it “a post”.
- Use the scrollwheel on the Gnome taskbar to flip through all your windows quickly.
- Glipper solves all the annoyances I’ve had with copy and paste on Linux.
- Gens works on Linux and plays all my old Sonic games quite nicely. It even has a nice GUI.
- “apt-get install gweled” for a nice Diamond Mine clone
- Zelda Classic brings The Legend of Zelda 1 to PC, no emulator required. It features a quest editor and a Linux version.
- MoM is an interesting half-free MMORPG, apparently programmed by just one guy.
- Ted Dekker’s Circle trillogy rocks, as do P. G. Wodehouse’s many short stories.
- OICCC is upon us once more. It has inspired me to brush up on my C skills and write a program that prints its own source code. It seems like it would be possible to create a recursive program that changes it’s source, recompiles, executes the new program and exits. This prospect excites me, though I can’t think of any practical reason for doing it.
- I thought this was pretty funny.
You know, in Fluxbox, you can put your cursor over any bit of desktop and scroll, and you will fly through workspaces. It’s very cool, but i bit hard to get used to, cause it scrolls the opposite direction than what seems logical
I used to use that all the time, and I think I once found a way to do it in Gnome, but I turned it off. I like the ability to scroll wheel outside a window and not flip through three desktops by mistake.
I believe you can invert the order fluxbox flips through desktops, btw.
Why is the comic funny?
Because it’s true. ^_^
I don’t get it.
