Open Source Guitar Hero!
Have you ever thought about buying a gaming console just to play one or two games? A great example would be that I only purchased a ps2 so I could play the GTA series, which still kicks! I also purchased a Wii right when it came out and i still feel a little wiitarded for getting one so earlier in the console race just becuase of the lack of quality games designed for the wii. After a week or so you feel bad for spending the money but its not the end of the world. Well if you wanted to buy an XBox 260 or a ps2 just to play Guitar Hero, then Frets on Fire will knock your socks off!
Frets on fire is a great Guitar Hero like game that has a HUGE library that one can download from any Torrent site. This includes all the songs that are on the console version. The game is open source, so copies can be download for Linux and mac. The great part of this game is that a Guitar Hero guitar is not needed ….. you can use the keyboard! This game is awesome!

What plagues linux pt.2
Hello all of you who jumped on this site because I put linux or Dell in my blog. I know people everywhere are asking if I fixed my girlfriends machine yet and the answer is yes. I used ndiswrapper and with the extracting idf and sys files i was able to get the card working on her laptop. So major victory for me and all of the linux community because this install passed the infamous girlfriend test! Hoorah!
I should mention that card works but sometimes i need to go back to terminal and reset it or delete a file to get my card working. I’m not sure why but ndiswrapper doesn’t work right away so thats annoying. I had a friend look at it and we’ve decided to write a nice script to reset it during startup but i haven’t done that yet.
Overall I love linux, ubuntu, and the opensource community but hate when stuff breaks down, is hard to install, or just doesn’t like me.
