Linux migration complete
Well, I officially feel 1337. I have successfully set up my site on my Ubuntu server, freeing my gaming rig from having to serve up my site. Which now is running Apache 2. If I’m not mistaken, the site is much faster. Yay, Linux! ^^
All the virtual floppy passwords were lost in the transfer, so if you want me to set your password, email me. Except for Gregori and Amadeus. I remember Gregori’s for sure and I think I remember Amadeus’ so I set those.
EDIT: …Which doesn’t matter because virtual floppy broke in the transfer process. Oh well.
Dystopia!
Dystopia v1 has released! This has been the first update in about 3 years! It improves upon the previous versions with more weapons and more features in Cyberspace, as well as more implants. Of course, this makes it all the more confusing at first, but all the more immersive once it is understood.
In other news, here’s a cute little animation. Clicky.
Linux
I have seen heaven. Further proving my fickle nature concerning Linux, it happens to be using Ubuntu Edgy in any way shape, or form. The enormous difference between my previous try at Linux, which was Debian, and that Ubuntu has a GUI. (Graphical User Interface) This means it is nice and user-friendly, and has a smooth, Mac-like appearance. There are huge amounts of tutorials around instructing how to do anything, and if you’re doing something else somehow, there’s IRC chat.
Now that I have my former server running Ubuntu and an older computer running Debian, I’ve begun to appreciate it. Debian is not designed to be user friendly. It will be as user friendly as a text interface can be, but that’s no substitute for a GUI. Debian simply does away with all the clutter GUIs create and allows programs to use much more of a machine’s potential. Debian machines are meant to run servers or make calculations.
My previous problem with Debian was probably twofold. I was using the stable version (not that it asked me during the install or anything, that I noticed at least) and the next version, Etch, was nearly going to be upgraded to stable, and thus all the programs were written for it. That and when I put Debian on my former server I was panicking and rushing to get the site back up. That wasn’t productive. Yay Linux! ^^

Awesome!!
According to this, video games can help your vision! I think I may want to go to the eye doctor now… :p
In other news my WoW addiction is getting progressively worse.
