Home Alone
Ahhh, another Summer stuck at my parents house… well only for a couple weeks but still, there is not much entertainment here. Therefore, perfect opportunity to get up to date with my blogging 
Luckily, I won’t be home for long, couple weeks and I will try trying to get back into Cardiff for birthdays. Only took some clothes and my laptop home with me (and all my films and games). Also got WoW and Tiberian Sun working on my linux laptop so at least I can play a decent MMORPG (and it runs really well too).
I love linux. I don’t understand why games developers don’t release binaries for the linux platform for their games. Okay, I understand that the amount of extra support that will be needed may not be worth it (due to all the different distributions of linux), but the average linux user is a lot smarter when it comes to computers and a large majority can get most things working themslves (I guess thats where wine came from), would be nicer to have a headstart though.
Saying all this, I still use Windows primarily because of games. Most of my favourite games run on linux nowadays, Wine has got that good. However, say there’s this supposed potential freelancer replacement coming out soon, suppose 14th of August and suppose I have played the demo, suppose that it is infact REALLY good and suppose I know for a fact it has no chance in hell that wine could support it; would I convert 100% to linux and miss out on this supposedly god-like game? NO! But, I am also weighing the scales, also thinking about moving over to linux… I could leave a small Windows partition, but that doesn’t count. If I am going to convert to linux, it will be all the way :S
Anyway enough ranting about Windows and Linux, let’s get back on topic. I went through the whole graduation ceremony yesterday, it was pretty awesome (although some of my friends hated it). I am now officially Mr Jargon BSc. (Hons). WOOT! And now I’m home, back in my shitty little village (heh, not that bad but it feels like an OAP retirement home here, as there is NOTHING to do) to do some work I had lined up after I graduated. A couple of jobs, the big one being sorting out my old boss’ website that I developed a while back and the welcomed offer of working for an international transport company to sort out their website also (I should be able to charge them quite a bit )
Anyways, I’m probably gonna go play a game now… or try get another game working (heh).
Toodles

The giveaway of being a comsci came with the comment: “Mr. Jargon BSc. (Hons). WOOT!”
