The new Linux game turned out to be Sacred: Gold an action-RPG similar to Blizzard’s Diablo 2. The package includes the original Sacred, a free (official) expansion pack called Sacred Plus and the Sacred: Underworld expansion pack.
I for one can’t wait for this port to be released.
Everyone else is doing it!

I’ve finally taken the time to prepare a website for all the various programs and scripts I’ve got in use here that the world might also find some use for. The address, right now, is http://random.zerodogg.org, though once I find some more imaginative name I’ll probably move it, but for now it’s random.
Everything mentioned is [...]
Its been ages since I last wrote about Day Planner, so I figured it might be about time I did.
I think the last time I wrote about version 0.1.2 or something along those lines. A rather buggy and incomplete release. It’s now up to 0.7.2 and rather stable, if I might say so. Some major [...]
I turned in my laptop for repairs this January (under a month after the last repair). The screen was broken. Then they informed me that the motherboard was also borked, due to moisture, so I’d have to pay for the repairing of that. Okay, that’s fair enough I guess. So I told them to go [...]
I tried the bash completion stuff, and found a single thing I liked, ssh completion. Most of the other stuff just annoyed me… a lot (and was mostly useless, at least for me). I first looked at the code in the bash completion for ssh completion, but it was imho too large to stuff into [...]
Today, the 19th of April, it is exactly one year since the first release of Day Planner, 0.1, was released. The first release was, as expected, pretty buggy. But it has since grown into a stable and useful program and has seen major improvements since the first release. I just recently released version 0.6 which [...]
With 2007.0, all I really used was Mandriva ONE for installing Mandriva on boxes. It fit on one CD and didn’t install more than the required software (ie. not five different programs that do the same thing).
This time however, it seems that they have dropped localization for most of Mandriva One. There isn’t a Mandriva [...]
I wish you all a happy holiday.
While I do this I also want you to take a moment to think about those that don’t have one. Some celebrate it alone, some are depressed, some drugged, some fighting for their life and some just afraid. Take a moment, give them a moment - that’s all they [...]
I’m going to start the semi-public beta test of the day planner services system now.
The day planner services system is a system for calendar synchronization. It does:
- Synchronization of calendars on multiple locations
- Availability of an html version of the calendar
It is integrated into day planner and needs testing.
If you want to join the test, [...]
Well, I decided on NearlyFreeSpeech.net. They offer a great service at very very good prices. I’ve registrered zerodogg.org, and it’s already up! Took 30 mins.
I’m still battling my old provider to get iamaturtle.org transferred to NearlyFreeSpeech.net, so far half-successfull (the domain is now in my name and unlocked), I just need the transfer code now. [...]
My host sucks. The service they provide is great and cheap, but their support sucks. That is, I can live with slow response times, but they don’t answer me…ever.
So now I’m on the look for a new provider. I need:
- SSH access
- PHP(5)
- Multiple subdomains
- Good traffic (5+GB per month at a minimum I’d say, [...]
I’ve been thinking of a method of creating simple configuration UIs.
Take the following config file:
RunMode = Inetd
AuthMode = Closed
Restricted = true
To create a simple configuration GUI for this I would write something like this:
filename is /etc/example.conf
setting RUNMODE can be (Inetd, Daemon)
setting AUTHMODE can be (Closed, Open)
option RunMode is RUNMODE with name “Run mode” and tooltip [...]

This code monkey like Lisbeth. Who do you?
Great song. For those lazy of you out there (yeah, there’s quite many lazy people that will read this blog post):

I never before realized how useful it would be to have an entire operating environment inside my text editor! How useful indeed, it can even do my window management if I want to. Yes, I’m ofcourse talking about the ultimate text editor/operating environment/irc client/psychologist combo: Emacs! Today I switched to using emacs, and I haven’t [...]
Just found this on a jobs site at Last.fm. Indeed it is a plus! *ducks and runs*
Pluses:
…
- A preference for vi over emacs.

Since some people seemed a bit interested in my opinions on the various music players and music managers I’ll go through a few of them - beginning with quod libet.
The initial interface looks like this:
In my opinion its interface is less than elegant. It devotes almost the entire interface to the list of tracks available [...]
I’m currently using amaroK. Now that’s a great player, and software HAS to be great for me to use a KDE program. Now, I have a music player, sure. The problem I have with amaroK is that it’s a KDE app. It brings along kded and dcop. That’s the bad part, kded crashes, dcop brings [...]
I’m tired of mozilla stuff (wow, you didn’t know that now did you). So I’ve tried the last month to get rid of Thunderbird the last few months, I tried Evolution, but evolution was way too bloated for me, and now I tried Sylpheed Claws.
It turns out, I like Sylpheed claws (all parts except the [...]
Last attempt didn’t go as well as I’d want. This time however, I’ve switched, and I’ve used epiphany for around 1-2 weeks now. The addressbar issue got fixed by using an extension (uh, I’ll find the URL to it later - can’t remember atm.). The search-as-you-type is still there and It appears I’m going to [...]
