Let’s Doom!
It’s Friday night.
Mom’s makin’ homemade meatball bombers.
There’s a salad bowl full of Skittles and enough pepsi to fill a kiddie pool…
Let’s Doom!
Philinux Journal Entry 20050130a : Downloading Packages
A new entry into the Paulinux journal is now available. This one describes the process of aquiring the needed packages for a base system and also describes one of the BIGGEST mistakes I’ve made so far.
Note: For whatever reason (Rob you may know) the new entry (20050130a) was placed before the 20050123a entry. A bit confusing but I’m sure a simple fix.

What to do with Gmail invitations
Everytime time I log onto my gmail account my eyes are always drawn to the top of the screen that says, “Invite 6 friends to Gmail”. Ok, that’s great but most people I know aren’t interested in adding another email account and those that do rarely check it anyway. This is fine. I have 7 email addresses and I can realistically monitor 3 on a daily basis and sometimes that doesn’t even happen.
So… what the hell do you do with all those Gmail invites?
PSP
Well I guess I have been living in the dark these past few months/year since I just found this Playstation Portable that is to be release in the US before March 18th!!
If any of you knew about this why did you not mention it on SB?
This is almost perfect for me seeing that my son WILL NOT allow me to play my regular PS2 or PC games!
Would have figured game guru Vott would have known about this for a year now!!
G.I. Joe…again
Cause knowing is half the battle…
Hey Kid! Ahm a computah!
If you’ve seen these, go see them again. If you haven’t seen these, I wish I was you watching for the first time.
New Keyboard Layout
Well since it literally has taken me most my life to learn howto type without looking and not taking any typing classes they are going to change the layout of the standard QWERTY keyboards. Or at least thats what they are claiming to do here. Interesting but I really do not see this taking off anytime soon.
Philinux Journal Entry 20050123a : Partitioning
The next journal entry for the Paulinux project is now available on the project site.
This entry discusses my thoughts behind the partitioning process and how it was deployed.
I’d like to personally thank Rob for building an excellent tool for quickly adding and editing new entries in the journal. He wrote it up in about an hour using PHP, hooked it into a MySQL database and also added an impressive rich text editor in JavaScript. Well done Rob! Thanks!
Philinux Journal Entry 20050121a : Preparation
The next installation of my project journal is up on the site. A few things to note:
1) Manually adding my crappy HTML to every entry is taking as long as figuring out that PHP a few days ago. I have to come up with something else. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
2) I changed the project codename from “Paulux” to “Paulinux” simply because the former is misleading. I’m not trying to create my own kernel, just a new Linux distro. Therefore I think the new name is clearer.
3) In relation to point number 2 I have changed the directory and subsequently the link to the following: http://projects.snowbrain.com/Paulinux/
That is all. 
Games Help You Lern

Wanna feel better about sitting in front of your pc/xbox/psx for hours on end? Then check out this article from the Wisconsin Technology Network describing the research that’s been going on in the realm of “Games as Education”
“Video games let their players step into new personas and explore alternatives. Not only that, but people can try to solve problems they’re not good at yet, get immediate feedback on the consequences and try again immediately.”
