Windows 7 beta - a few days into testing…

June 8, 2009

First of all, I’m overall impressed. Much more so than I ever was with Vista. This is truly the XP to Vista’s ME. That being said, of course the sun still has spots, and Windows 7 is so far far from free of fault.

Songbird, and my continued search for a music player

April 28, 2009

Seriously, this is getting old. I just want to find a good player and stick with it. Am I having too high standards? Am I just being picky?
…No. I don’t think it is in any way extraordinary to be able to have multiple watch folders in a music player. Or having the ability to, in [...]

Ubuntu on the EEE

January 9, 2009

Got myself a apsnking new EEE 900 16G a few months back. I’ve been having fun with it ever since. Despite its size, it’s a surprisingly agile and flexible machine, which has provided me endless hours of what I call Fun: mucking around finding “just the right solutions”. You know, the kind of thing most [...]

Spotify

December 8, 2008

 
I’m kind of fascinated by this new trend of stream-based legal music players. I mean, they’re in no way a real alternative to those of us who like being able to listen to our music when offline (and yeah, there are some of us who aren’t online 24/7. Sometimes, for instance, I’m taking a walk. [...]

Media Center solutions…

July 2, 2008

Oh yeah, I’m on a roll here. Time for some more testing. This time, it’s all about the simplicity - and the media. I’ve been tinkering with a HTPC (without HD support or a TV card…) to replace my aging X-Box/XBMC solution. XBMC is the standard I expect other applications to measure up to. It [...]

Audio players in Linux

June 25, 2008

OK, here’s another round of “Krank tests stuff and says nasty things about them”.
In Windows, I’ve been using Foobar for a few years, and it’s more or less erverything I want from an audio player; an opt-in library function, great flexibility, extensions to do more or less everything… And an incredibly low footprint. And it’s [...]

Robots aren’t everything…

February 9, 2008

Contrary to popular opinion, robots aren’t enough to save anything. Robots are, of course, inherently cool - but they need to be put in context.
I’m talking about RF Online. I saw the game at a local store, went home and looked it up, discovered that it had recently been made free-as-in-beer. I downloaded the client [...]

Geek-o-Rama; The search for a wxWidgets IDE

January 25, 2008

These past few days, I’ve been searching for a competent IDE for creating WxWidgets interfaces, primarily for the Python programming language. The reason for this is that I’m working on a small project to get my creative programming-juices flowing again - Tempest’s on its way, but I needed some kind of “learning” project in order [...]

WoW and CoH

December 29, 2007

Some asswipe actually dared to call the plot and story of my favourite MMORPG City of Heroes “shallow” in hos blog. Naturally, I’m going to write my own blog entry explaining in a few paragraphs why he can suck my hairy fat cock, and why I’m writing this entry while waiting for my lvl 33 [...]

The hardest thing

December 19, 2007

The hardest thing to do in the whole world is, apparently, to create an MMO that doesn’t suck ass. Seriously, what’s wrong with you people? Is it really that fucking hard, that you feel the need to spend money and time on the development of crap?
Noone I know have tried more MMO’s than me. Every [...]
