WordPress 1.5 RPM Packages

Filed under: — Stormwind @ 2:00 pm

WordPress logoI recently upgraded to the newly released WordPress 1.5, so I built RPM packages for the new version:

RPM: wordpress-1.5-1.noarch.rpm
SRPM: wordpress-1.5-1.src.rpm

These RPM packages were built under Fedora Core 2 Linux. I have not tested them with other Linux distributions, so they may or may not work in those situations.

I highly recommend you follow the standard installation directions and back up your database and all your WordPress files (especially index.php) before upgrading, as described in the upgrading instructions.

Classic Games: The Ur-Quan Masters aka Star Control 2

Filed under: — Stormwind @ 1:36 pm

UQM logoAfter finishing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (yes, the original, I’m always behind on playing computer games), I was looking around for another good game to play. For some reason I decided to search online for Star Control 2, which I had completed again about five years ago (running via DOSEMU under Linux).

Boy was I in for a surprise! Toys for Bob, the original developers, had released the source code of the 3DO version under the GPL! And a team had ported it to Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, made bug fixes and improvements, and added back some PC only features! Since the publisher still owns the rights to the name Star Control 2, this version is called The Ur-Quan Masters.

Star Control 2 aka The Ur-Quan Masters is a classic epic space game, combining elements of adventure, role-playing, and action games to make a terrific hybrid. The exploration and sense of humor in the game makes every encounter with a new alien species a hoot! It also features great music, especially for a 1990 title.

The Ur-Quan Masters is darn near a perfect version of Star Control 2, and my kudos goes to Toys for Bob and the Ur-Quan Masters team.

Highly recommended!

I performed my annual resume update today. A periodic resume updates seems like a good practice, since you never know when someone might be looking for a candidate for that perfect job.

As usual, my resume is available here.
