Playing with computers
So I don’t play with computers – in a serious way – nearly enough. Part of this is the fact that I don’t seem to have much spare time. Part of the lack of spare time, however, has to do with the fact that I pick up and play video games on a regular basis. Which isn’t so smart.
Regardless. Tonight I am upgrading my linux installs on both my desktop (which I haven’t even turned on in months) and on my laptop.
I tried, originally, to upgrade the one on my laptop without reinstalling. Unfortunately, that jacked up and wouldn’t even let me type at the login prompt. So I, lazy that I am, just downloaded the new version under windows, burned it, and am now watching it configure packages and praying that it will let me type.
I keep reading good things about it. Everyone says that it catches and uses all sorts of things hardware wise that have never been automatically caught before. So I have fairly high hopes that maybe it will actually pick up my wireless driver on my laptop. That would be miracle, and might actually cause me to use my linux instead of my windows for most things. If I got that, flash (for amd-64) and dvds/mp3s working, I could pretty much drop windows except for when I’m gaming.
And even that, if I modify my games a bit, has promise. I’m tempted to try installing cedega and try and play diablo 2 LoD/dod:source/ maybe WoW. Not that I want to pay $10 a month for gaming, but I know of a number of people tha thave been successful getting WoW to work, its a cool game, and it woudl hoepfully sooth the gaming fix. And then I could blow away my windows, which I think would be very good for me.
That, and maybe eventually actually updating my wordpress theme. :-)
Anyway…thats that.
Ciao.
