Random Find! 2008-11-10 22:45:46 Hi Guys,Just wanted to post something random (the name is for a reason ;)). I just found that in wine, I can play Microsoft Pinball (the free game that came with XP, using wine 1.1.7, no changes necessary). The only problem is that the game runs slowly on a Pentium Dual Core e2200. It will probably have a good speed if you have a faster cpu ;).Here is a video of it -

Another Awesome Technology Site! 2008-11-07 09:40:11 I might know some about computers, but the field is so wide but not one person can know EVERYTHING there is to know, I don't know much about graphics and graphics design, and I think you can tell by my newb attempt at a logo ;). That is why I want to introduce you to an awesome new blog I found – dedicated to graphics such as Photoshop, Blender, and GIMP! The address is . Enjoy!Budgetperson

More Updates! 2008-11-06 09:29:16 Well, so far I haven't yet updated to the latest version of Ubuntu (still) and will file an RMA request on the weekend. I haven't found my flash drive either. The upside is – my brother let me completely remove Vista on his computer and I got Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex! It works great, and it's really fast, so I'm not computerless (for now). Well, this is all for now! Check back for more stuff later J
Oh my god. 2008-11-02 20:46:15 I haven't updated this for a long time. I'll tell you why, and you'll understand. (I hope.)I am really really really really really really angry (sorta).I'll tell you the story -Once upon a time, on a rainy day, this guy named "Budgetperson" was sitting on a computer, backing up his files so that he could load up Ubuntu "Intrepid Ibex". He was looking for his flash drive, but to his dismay, after 3

How much do CPU extensions matter in a virtual machine? 2008-11-20 09:34:12 Recently I came up with an idea. Everybody knows my favorite Linux distro is Linux Mint (well you know now). When I was testing the newest Release Candidate, I saw that VirtualBox did not enable use of CPU extensions
by default. So how much of a performance increase do you have when you do turn them on? Is it much of a difference?After I get Linux Mint installed in the Virtual Machine (when I get Read more:matter

New Domain!! 2008-11-17 18:05:15 Hi Guys,For all of you reading my blog, I am finally going to abandon www.randomtech.co.cc for www.upbeatpc.com ! As some people may know, Upbeat PC was an awesome technology site that me and Drummeralec built. It was supposed to be the successor of 22nd Century Technology , but later we found it difficult to maintain a whole site, especially since it was all hand-coded (by drummeralec) , and not
OpenPandora 2008-11-17 17:01:00 Okay, seriously, this is #1 of the many things I would really like.The "OpenPandora". Don't confuse it with the Internet Radio, but it is atcually a (quote from website)" an ultra portable open source computer with gaming controls, it is very small, around about the same size as a DS. It can easily fit in your pocket."This seems very attractive to me because of many reasons.Replacement for my MID
Take WWW out of domain - One of the reasons why I want Wordpress 2008-11-14 09:30:44 I despise www. domain
s. And I know I have one, even if you go to randomtech.co.cc it will be a redirect to the www.randomtech.co.cc . But the truth is, we obviously don't need www. It's the same thing as doing mail.google.com or something similar, instead of www.google.com . The bad thing about blogger is that, if you want to put a domain on your blog that you already have, it has to have a CNAME Read more:Wordpress
