I’ve been really busy with my Senior Project / Nexuiz Community, Nexuiz Ninjaz developing a web based statistics frontend for players to check their stats. It will be similar to an already existing statistics script but we plan on doing a few things different. As the project grows, I will post information I find interesting about the project(s).

My main computer died and my thinkpad was going haywire so I was able to get another computer from a friend in exchange for work and I did a fresh OS install on my thinkpad. Both computers use Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, the desktop dual boots into XP 64bit. I’ve stayed booted into Ubuntu most the time. And I’ve done many neat things with syncing my laptop and desktop. Utilizing programs such as Synergy and Unison.

Ubuntu has improved drastically since I’ve lasted tried it. There are a few annoying bugs… like the fact that xinerama is buggy with games causing me to create a single monitor xorg.conf I run in a different tty just for games but the time I’m spending configuring, is time I was wasting on windows before. As crappy as having my desktop die was, due to good planning I was able to recovery everything I need and this event has gotten me back into Linux.

I hope to have something more for you next post but if you can’t wait, start reading some of my other sites :).
