I’m a big fan of Qalculate and have been using it for years. It’s got tons of features and conversions that are incredibly useful! 🙂

Good to know! Mine is a Creative SoundBlaster brand, I believe. Not entirely sure of the exact model, though. I haven’t really messed with it since 2010. It used to belong to my dad… 😛

Haven’t experienced issues with VR yet! There was another driver update released the other day, though, so I may install it. Since VR is a newish thing, it’s…[Read more]

I wouldn’t say I’m sold on it just yet, still trying to figure out my way in it. The tutorial left a lot of things out, unfortunately.

Not yet sure of the feasibility of playing on a shoestring budget as I haven’t run the numbers yet but I’ll get there!

😀

Wasn’t aware that Wiki gave out stars! Cool!

Will probably need to remap the audio jacks as well. No idea how to do that so some reading is required!

Seems rather contentious! Just installed Synaptic here and it’ll definitely serve my purposes of searching out packages for install. 🙂

I do have one in the closet from fifteen years ago. It’s an old X-Fi. I may dig it out and see if it still…[Read more]

I used to have it set to randomize the screensaver. Sometimes I’d get a bouncing cow while other times a BSoD. Was quite fun!

Great!

Oh! I’ve just about hit the limits of a free player in Eve. Well, with skill training at least. It only takes about a month of skill training to max out the skills available to free players. Not sure about game content yet as I just got out of the tutorial the other day 🙂

Beautiful!

Currently using Firefox but I’ve got Chrome downloaded. I’ll probably get it installed soon as I greatly prefer it 🙂

Bit funny about security so I’ll post it in our private thread 🙂

I wouldn’t exactly say they’re easy to work with but they’re getting better! Having a log-viewer definitely helps as the CLI tools can be a bit…[Read more]

Don’t have a heatgun yet! I’ve read that a hair dryer can double as one if you need it to 😛

I’ve always used the -ise form of words as opposed to -ize myself. Probably comes from growing up with books written by British authors 😛

Yep! The hunt continues! They also now think that time moved differently at the beginning of the Universe!

Great! Never had oxtail before. Closest I’ve had has been lamb neck, which is not at all close 😛

What did you put in it?

Saw this one the other day. It was a riot!

Got Kill Bill on the watch list now, too! 🙂

Been meaning to say that I made duck soup the other week! No Marx Brothers were harmed!

It was very good. It consisted of duck, duck broth, mushrooms, noodles, rice wine, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. Incredibly easy!

Doing some reading, it sounds like a cool gun isn’t a good early project. I’ll go through my electronics books again and see if something stands out.

Would also like to code something, just not sure what. Maybe it’s time to fire up the Arduino that’s been laying around?

XScreensaver deserves a mention! *nix only, though 🙂

Yep! And it never gets old! You can never rewatch the show too many times! 🙂

This is actually the first time I’ve played it. I’ve played similar games in the past, though. Yeah, they seem to charge for a lot of things but we shall see how things go playing for free. Still early in trying it out 🙂

Yeah, game sizes are enormous these days.…[Read more]

Weather hasn’t been cooperating 🙁

Been taking it out in the mornings due to the heat but it’s so humid that it’s not much better. I was walking to the store the other day early in the morning and it was so humid that I was drenched by the time I got there

It’s also been raining a lot, making things pretty difficult. Hopefully I’ll be able to…[Read more]

Great!

For tracing the genealogies, the Imperial Library may be helpful 🙂

It should be the same! But I’ll confirm when I get the opportunity! 🙂

Great, thanks! Will give ’em a go soon! 🙂

I’ve been attempting to penetrate the secrets of the Depths lately. There’s not a whole lot to go on but I’m beginning to think they’re the games’ version of the Underworld. We know a long lost civilization mined from them but how they transported the materials to the Surface isn’t explained (yet). The layout directly mirrors the layout of the…[Read more]

Oh, definitely!

Will add it to the list! Good science fiction is really hard to come by these days!

Saw this one yesterday and it was a lot of fun! Kind of had a Short Circuit mixed with Terminator vibe to it. Lots of campy references, too!
