The High Cost of Consoles
Thought this was interesting – Someone asked how much I’ve put towards gaming, and so I attempted to the math… The results were a bit shocking. (more…)

Saturday, April 12th, 2008Playstation 3 Linux Install – Second Go
Welcome to the second live blog of a linux installation on my Playstation 3. This time I’ll be attempting to install Yellow Dog Linux 6.0 on the PS3.
Let’s get dangerous!
2:05 AM
Booted up the PS3 and put in the DVD.
Did the “Install Other OS” jive, restarted PS3
2:08 AM
Booted into the installer – can’t find mouse, hopefully I won’t need it.
2:14 AM
Playing with a few options in the installer. Adding FTP and SMB support – probably will use neither, but still might come in handy. So far this is going much smoother than the other install.
2:18 AM
At a new install screen. The “big” one. Wow, fast install. YDL > Ubuntu?
2:28 AM
Still installing. Abut 33% done. Yay?
Still wondering why I might be doing this – probably because I kind of want to check out this other distro, but mostly because I just don’t want to go to sleep right now. Too much going on, and sleeping is not something that will be good for me. Mind wandering and all that. Can’t have that, might wander too far and get lost.
2:43 AM
Well over 75% done. No funky hanging, no weirdness at all.
Really digging how well this is going. If the distro works as well as it installs, I’ll be fairly surprised.

Well, that went much better than I expected. After logging in for the first time, things work how the probably should. Has crude Flash support – not enough for YouTube though, so that still sucks. Also can’t seem to figure out how to get bluetooth keyboard and mouse added, might have to troll some forums.
All said, so much better than the Ubuntu installation.

Monday, February 18th, 2008Seriously, is a title totally needed?
Well, for those who read this – I’m really digging the old school CLI interface. I have to say, this is probably my favorite theme for WordPress. At one point I was considering using it for a different project – Project Tax Dollars – but since I epic failed at getting that off the ground, I decided this would be a good place for it.
I like how it causes a good number of people to forget that the mouse still works when using this site. Yes, I know it’s all scary and DOS like, but it doesn’t magically disable the mouse.
I hear that’s a feature in the next version though. 
One of the things the potential move has caused me to realize is I have a bunch of stuff. In my living room alone I have a ton of things that I’m not looking forward to moving, most importantly the Mario Bros. That thing took two of us to get up the stairs to this apartment, and takes two people to move from one room to another.
I’m thinking it’ll be the last thing out of this place, an the last thing into the new place.
Other than that, just a bunch of DVDs and books. I do have a wad of games and systems, and more little toys than is healthy… and that has got me considering getting rid of the majority of them. I’ll keep some stuff, like my Doctor Who stuff and my H2G2 stuff, but other than that? Not a lot staying.
Well, okay a *few* Star Trek toys too, but other than that? All gone.
