Keep your [Linux] Desktop Clean

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

If you are an Ubuntu* user, you might not use your home folder like you should.  For example, all my downloads go straight to my Desktop, instead of my home(~) folder where they belong.  Clutter on your Desktop is quite unsightly, and as one must look at their Desktop constantly, I decided to fix this.

War Games

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

War Games LogoWar Games is an Application on Facebook. I created it for the Webchallenge 2008 Awards. I was a finalist and came home with ~550 dollars in scholarship money.

Now, what is War Games exactly? War Games is a game on Facebook. You are in charge of a country.  Your goal is to build up the amount of Territory your country owns (measured in Sqmiles). You have two ways to do this.  You can buy Producers, which give you a certain amount of coin every day you use War Games, and then use that coin to buy land.  You can also buy Soldiers, and use them to fight your friends, and gain Sqmiles and coin that way.  You buy stuff with Coin.

Go there. Now: War Games on Facebook

Firefox - Why?

Monday, June 16th, 2008

The offical Firefox logoIf you are like 53.8% of computer users (source) you probably use Internet Explorer for your Internet use.

(By the way, if you don’t have a clue what Internet Explorer is, you are probably using it right now.  It is what you use to see the Internet)

You might have heard of Firefox, maybe on a news website or from a friend, but you don’t see any reason why you should use it.  You may think “Why switch to a new thing when Internet Explorer works fine?” You may just be to lazy to try it out, or have no idea how.

If you install Firefox, you can still use Internet Explorer, in fact, you can install it, try it, and if you don’t like it uninstall it, and nothing will have changed on your computer.  You can also transfer all of your Bookmarks/Favorites and Cookies and your Homepage.

So, let me tell you why you should use Firefox, and shouldn’t use Internet Explorer
