Just to show that I have been working on this project, here’s another screenshot which I posted at SourceForge. Source code is hosted at GitHub. I expect to upload Windows and Linux binaries soon for download for those of you who aren’t into compiling source code.

On Namespaces — Again!
I have a thing about C++ namespaces, and this is yet another post on the topic. Oh well, so my life isn’t that exciting… Namespaces avoid polluting the global namespace with names that might conflict with each other. Classes similarly encapsulate method and data member names from the big bad cold outside global namespace, but… Continue reading On Namespaces — Again!
Emacs Suprises
I shouldn’t be surprised anymore about the capabilities of Emacs. But now that Sluggo has moved into my closet as a headless server, I have been doing a lot of ssh’ing to the poor beast from my other computers in order to manage files remotely. Only recently though I discovered I could edit text files… Continue reading Emacs Suprises
EP Studios Blog Restored
After a fair amount of work, the blog is back close to what it was. I restored all the missing image links but one. I updated to the latest version of WordPress (2.9). I updated the database to UTF-8, getting rid of some funny accented characters, but in place some of the blogs have highlighted… Continue reading EP Studios Blog Restored
Disaster Strikes EP Studios Blog
Sluggo has been a headless server for just a few days now. I ssh to it to login, I download stuff from the command line with wget, and so forth. I also remove stuff with rm, no more gui-based file deleting into a nice safe recycle bin. Soooooo….., when I got the inevitable nattering message… Continue reading Disaster Strikes EP Studios Blog
Sluggo The Server
(The title of this post should be read with the same cadence as “Thomas The Tank Engine.”) When my son Kevin got his Falcon Northwest computer he passed on to me his old Gateway computer (which is a nice dual core system). This computer had its hard drive wiped and a new install of OpenSuse… Continue reading Sluggo The Server
Netbook Shopping
I’m writing this on my son’s Asus eee PC netbook. I’m going to be looking at netbooks to buy for my daughter for Xmas. This is a quick post, since my fingers don’t really fit on this small keyboard. Looking for good combination of price/keyboard/battery life/style. My daughter wants Ubuntu on it. It looks like… Continue reading Netbook Shopping
Further Adventures with OpenSuSE 11.2, Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7
OpenSuSE 11.2 is so pretty on my desktop on SuperSluggo, that I can’t bear to part with it. Unfortunately there is a bunch of stuff that doesn’t work. I got DVD playback to work, but unfortunately Amarok either crashes or refuses to play Mp3 files, depending on which repositories I use to load required files.… Continue reading Further Adventures with OpenSuSE 11.2, Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7
Another EP Simulator Screenshot
Progress on EP Simulator is slow. I’ve been working on multiple screen configuration, since the Prucka/GE system runs on two monitors. Anyway, here is a screenshot (on one monitor though).
Initial Experience With OpenSuSE 11.2
I attempted to upgrade both Krell, my ToughBook laptop, and SuperSluggo, my main computer to OpenSuSE 11.2 this weekend. Since SUSE was my first Linux I have remained partial to it, only using Ubuntu at one time on a now defunct partition of my wife’s computer, MonsterMagnet. Anyway, the SuperSluggo upgrade from OpenSuSE 10.3 to… Continue reading Initial Experience With OpenSuSE 11.2
