CD writing on Fedora Core 3I’m now thing of moving off Fedora Core 3 (probably to Ubuntu, or maybe FC4 for the Java stuff) and it turns out I’ve never written a CD from it, because when I tried it didn’t work: I kept getting the message “cdrecord: Success. Cannot open SCSI driver.” I finally managed to find a solution. For some reason I need to do this:
cdrecord dev=ATA:1,1,0 -eject -v speed=2 ubuntu-5.04-live-i386.iso
Note the ATA: in the dev bit. No idea why.
Prince of Persia – The Sands of Timearrived through the post from ebay yesterday. It is superb. Exactly my kind of game, and with loads of features from the old game (one of my favourites of all time), all updated and made even more beautiful. It is incredibly atmospheric, and so far the gameplay has been utterly compelling. Am I more excited about this than the pervious post? Surely not.
Personal stuff is boring…and I am not a big fan of pictures in blogs, but this is a special occasion:
World domination is nigh. Soon we shall all be Balaams.
SourceforgeI have requested a Sourceforge project for DIYBlog, and it just struck me again how utterly fantastic Sourceforge is. What would the Free and Open Source Software world be like now without Sourceforge? A lot poorer, I reckon.
I’m desperately trying to find time to test FreeGuide for a 0.10.2 release. So far it looks like although my favourites have been imported, they are not working. In fact, when I create a new favourite it works for that run but when I restart the program they are not highlighted. Hmm.
LondonLondon is a little quieter than normal this morning, but still pretty busy. It seems like most people are going to work, although some are having to walk. There are definitely fewer tourists on the streets.
