ThinkPad T520/W520, NVIDIA, Wide Gamuts, and You!

15 Comments Posted by on September 2, 2011

Update: Linking to a better color profile below. Update 2: I narrowed down the ACPI issues, and have a better solution. I recently purchased a brand new, maxed out ThinkPad T520. My old laptop was 4 years old, and while I absolutely loved it (and still do!), an opportunity came up to get a T520 [...]

Augmented Reality

5 Comments Posted by on April 29, 2006

An article appeared on Digg.com yesterday talking about a possible leak about the Nintendo Revolution/Wii. It referred to a video that was linked to in the comments. This video gave a demonstration of Augmented Reality, and while this technology is only rumored to be in the Revolution, it’s still fascinating to watch. Augmented Reality basically [...]

New Server

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 26, 2006

Well, if you’re reading this, then the move of ChipX86.com to a new server has been successful. I’ve slowly been moving sites such as galago-project.org to a new GSX VM provided by a friend and co-worker of mine. While Linode is a fine service, it has become somewhat problematic for me lately, and I’ve been [...]

20 Ways to be a Good User

11 Comments Posted by on January 5, 2006

I don’t expect anybody who should read this to actually read it. A couple of users the past few days have inspired me to write this little guide. If you request support in a channel and nobody is around to answer within two minutes, make sure to voice your frustration and leave immediately. Make sure [...]

Tagging craze

8 Comments Posted by on November 19, 2005

It’s funny how a simple concept ends up just exploding in a short amount of time and becomes the new craze. One example of this is “tagging.” Tagging was something I’ve wanted for years but never really thought of it as being something that everyone would be getting all excited over. However, now that a [...]

Goings Ons

Hard Day in GNOME All day long, people have been talking on IRC about the Novell lay-offs. It’s been sad to see, and as hard as it was for the people who were let go, I’m sure it was just as hard for those that had to let people go. My condolences to everyone who’s [...]

Ah, the sound of a dead drive. That’s what my 200GB Western Digital drive said to me this morning as I rebooted. This was after I realized that I couldn’t access any of my source code. dmesg was yelling at me about having trouble accessing /dev/hde. This drive contained my source code (almost all of [...]

Silent Noise

8 Comments Posted by on June 22, 2005

So we don’t have flying cars. That’s okay, I didn’t think they were a great idea anyway. There are no personal android helpers. They’d just take up my closet space anyway. What I can’t figure out though is why we’re still using wired headphones. I know there are wireless ones available, and that wireless phone [...]

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Chicken, now in gelatin style

4 Comments Posted by on June 19, 2005

Something I threw together the other night in Inkscape Galago I finally gave up with the whole “playing everything politically safe” with Galago and am now moving the whole library to GLib. It’ll take some time, and there’s a few things I need to figure out first. For example, a very useful feature that Galago’s [...]

Revenge of the *bleep*

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 23, 2005

Hurray! Leo and Patrick and some of the others from the old The Screen Savers show have gotten together and started a “podcast.” I’m sure anybody reading Slashdot knows this already, but I’m still pretty excited about it. I’ve been watching The Screen Savers since it was created on ZDTV, and have been pretty upset [...]
