Fortiter Et Recte
Been playing with the latest openSUSE release, 11.1, and as I’m on holidays thought I’d try and get CIV4 working.
It appears to work fine, except for sound which errors complaining about an alsa pcm-pulse library issue. This is installed on the openSUSE system, but Wine needs the 32bit library. Installing this solved the problem:
sudo zypper in alsa-plugins-pulse-32bit

Sun has released version 1.2 of their ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office. It allows users stuck with that office suite to import and export data in open document format and is free for both individual and commercial use.
Well this week I created my very first DistroWatch Weekly as the new editor of the popular newsletter.
While some readers complained that Ubuntu is getting too much coverage, I think that overall most enjoyed the newsletter.
I’m looking forward to compiling the DWW for next week’s release!

Looks like domains hosted under my account with Dreamhost are really, really slow (more so than usual). Apologies for that, I’ll try and look into a new hosting plan somewhere when I get back from overseas.

For a few years now I have been using my family’s domain (http://smartclan.com) to host my blog. Finally I decided to get my own personal piece of cyberspace. I know, the URL is a bit pretentious but I couldn’t pass up myname.com
So, from now on this will be the home of my blog - the place where I talk about things that are mostly useless, but sometimes might have an insight or two.
Welcome!
