Impromptu drunken posting night!!!

Notes from an install:

Windows XP is still evil. I attempted an upgrade and basically just blew up my entire system, oh yes, children.

I has Linux now. Also, vodka.

Nothing can stop me now. Bwa. Ha ha.

Isn't that the one that was making your Flash all crazy? We do a lot of Flash games around here...

Also, do you sync with an iPod at all on Linux, or do you go through Wine for that, or some third thing?

Also also, icon in payment:

Not sure what it was payment for, but thanks! This rules!

Also, the problem seems to be when flash or anything else tries to take up full screen, because Compiz also takes up full screen, and they fight because of the poor drivers. If the flash game takes up your whole screen, it could get buggy. If you play it in a window, it doesn't.

As for synching, I couldn't say. I don't use an iPod, and any transfers to my mp3 players is purely a file transfer. Those work fine.

Google tells me that Ubuntu opens iPods fine.

That is a terribly useful article. I feel pretty good about the prospects of getting that to work. :)

Thanks, 'Lex Support! :)

Ah, okay, good. I don't think anything we do wants Flash to have the fullscreen.

Heh, I just got an iPod Touch, and I went through a bit of pain getting wine to run iTunes (slowly), only to discover that the necessary USB/iPod support isn't in wine yet. [livejournal.com profile] duriyah's XP machine to the rescue. But after the iPod is initially activated (dunno if pre-Touch/iPhone models require that), both amarok and gtkpod can send music to the iPod. (Though the Touch and iPhone require slight hacking first, which is quite worthwhile anyway.)

Stay tuned for my iPod experience writeup (including the Linux part) soon.

That sounds really bloody useful. I don't have an iPod, but would be interested to read that post anyway.

Tell me you know that's a cellular automata glider from the Game of Life.
