Still trying to get IcculusNews to work for the frontpage of Silwenae.net… Kelly helped take a look at it, but we need to look at it again so I can mail the email list to see if the problem with the daemon can be fixed.

I’m going to try to install IcculusFinger this weekend, it’s better documented, so we’ll see what happens.

If you use my music site, the new Quintessential 4.02 didn’t stream Ogg correctly. I worked with the developer, and the new Ogg input plugin fixes the bug for streaming Ogg. Get it here. Just a self-extracting exe file that will update Quintessential for you.

Set up a blog here for Alex (as you can see at the top of the page). Now I have to show him how to use it. It will be interesting to see how fast a 7 year old picks it up.

I was thinking about that, and when I got my first computer. (We had a Timex Sinclair – 2 of ’em eventually). I think I was about 7 or 8 when we first picked that up. I remember getting computer magazines and coding machine language by hand to play Breakout. (Which probably explains my addiction to lbreakout2 on Linux).

I did purchase an original Timex Sinclair off Ebay last year along with an Apple //c and monitor. Gotta get that basement finished so I can set up my mini-museum of computers I used growing up. Just have to find a 286 at some point as well. And maybe a P100 at some point (had a Packard Bell once we could afford a computer, and that upgrade cycle with it started all of my learning…)
