Silly games.

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Logic game have always entertained me.

However, I find myself being consumed by the fact that YC can kick my butt at sudoku. Seems like I can only win one out of every 5-6 games… where as other people I seem to consistently win against.

Maybe I’m a masocist to want to play her. I just somehow play worse when it’s against her.

Who knows why…

Ubuntu on Compaq Evo N800c

I took the leap and installed ubuntu dapper 6.06 on the laptop.

I’m quiet impressed with the speed, and everything.

I had some issues with getting the wireless network card to work properly. I’ve got it working, but I still have to do something manual with it, “sudo ipdown ath0″ “sudo ipup ath0″ before I get an IP that I can use.
The ATI Radeon mobile 7500 works well… with some 2d glitches… but nothing major. Just some buttons in gnome get artifacts… like snow or static over buttons.

Automatix broke my first install, so I just trashed the install, and used easyubuntu instead.  Automatix wasn’t a bad thing, probably that I asked it to install the ATI drivers, which weren’t compatible with my card.  I probably should give Automatic another try, but easyubuntu has everything I need essentially.

Overall, very stable, battery check feature works, hibernates well, automounts my usb key… any quirks I find, I’ll comment about it later
