I saw it coming a long time ago and I guess I just hoped it never really would happen. Something has finally happened to my desktop computer and it won’t boot past the memory test. In fact, it won’t boot at all, Linux or XP. Great. Luckily, I don’t use it a whole lot anymore […]

Read MoreXPS 1530 Camera Problems
Throughout the last few months, I have successfully used the integrated camera of my XPS 1530 to do video conferencing with friends and family. However, recently, I’ve been looking more into actually recording videos for some other purposes. So I started looking for some other software. I soon found a little program called Cheese, which […]
Read MoreLinux Gaming
While surfing around seemingly at random, I ran into this site: http://live.linux-gamers.net This site essentially provides a live-type disc loaded with Linux and games that work with Linux, all for free and for our enjoyment. Although I already have Linux installed and as such am unlikely to just download and try this when I can […]

Read MoreQuantum of Solace Review
“My name is Bond, James Bond.” Recognized as the greeting of James Bond, those watching Quantum of Solace in theaters (and other media) will find this phrase sorely missing.
