My puplet : KDPUP

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Took me some time to recall password of my account on this blog LOL don’t you hate having so much passwords eh? Should really use Figaros password manager more or something even for my own sites xD

Well, that’s not the point of this post, I finally finished a puplet I was working on these days, uploaded it yesterday night and announced on puppy forum this morning, it’s based on smooth dpup (puppy linux) distro + KDE 3.5.10 by default and many apps added to original base, including amarok, firefox updated to 3.6.3, pidgin/kopete/weechat/skype IMs and VOIP, plus some fancy multimedia apps like amarok 1.4.10/audacity/lmms/avidemux etc…

Take a look at full announcement and download locations at puppy linux forum here:

Hours of fun with World of Goo on Linux!

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I remember playing this game called “Tower of goo” from Experimental Gameplay Project site while I was using Windows, it was a bit weird as most games from that site but very addictive. After some time I heard there’s some game “World of Goo” released and that there’s also Linux version. I was very glad to see such title for Linux, and that it got very popular in short time, because even though WINE emulator (yeah I know it’s not REALLY technically an emulator) gets more popular and supports more games with every release I always preffer native GNU/Linux games.

Not sure why, maybe because it said it went commercial and there’s only free demo or I just knew I’ll get addicted to it, haven’t actually tried this game till tonight. And I must tell you that I’m amazed! I downloaded demo deb package and installed on dpup. Demo only is 33MB, must be hell of a demo I thought, and it was! Game ran perfect on my PC with 1.8 Ghz and 768 MB ram with misty action music and smooth graphics. Demo version is totally playable, you can play whole first chapter without any restrictions, with levels containing some interesting graphics and gameplay, on top of that there’s strong feeling of addiction which makes you play for hours ’till your eyes grow big :)

I bought a deskjet

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Hey there, I know I haven’t been writing for a while, well like always I’ve been messing with my dpup install, testing betas etc, also been working on some template that I might be using for puppy-look.tk and from this post title you can see I bought a HP DeskJet model F2180 which has 2-in-1 scanner+printer. I set it up on dpup pretty easy all I had to do is download additional hpijs drivers for cups to recognize the printer and for scanner it I installed hplip which contained some stuff needed by xsane to run scanner. Before buying it I found a usefull list of working printers on linux here: http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Anyone so if model that you’re buying is listedd in first two columns *Perfectly and *Mostly it should run on your distro.
