Go Team Venture!

[graafen]

I spent a good portion of last night playing around with Gentoo, almost an hour of which was spent trying to figure out why the console framebuffer wasn't working right. In the end I just removed nvidiafb (framebuffer for nVidia cards) from the kernel and used vesafb (generic framebuffer) instead, which worked fine.

Tonight I plan to at least get X, ALSA and WINE installed. I'll be happy if I can be playing EVE before the end of tonight. :)

Many thanks go out to ceralor for his advice. My linux mind was stuck in Debian mode and I was having a hard time trying to remember how Gentoo works. Thankfully it's all coming back. :D

Oh yes, my machine is now called "Mother".

P.S. Thank you Bravo for adult swim, especially The Venture Bros.

*poke* Just a random question, since I don't run into you anywhere else to ask: Why do you have me friended?

Not that I mind, I'm just curious.

Uh.. cause we used to talk a while ago?

Dunno..x_x *hides*

Again, it's not as though I mind.

It's just there are a lot of people who have me friended who I don't even really know at all, and who evidently don't read my journal at all by the way they don't acknowledge the existence of posts directly targetted towards them, so my curiosity builds to the point where I just ask outright what they're gaining out of the whole thing :P

Well, I do read, I haven't yet seen my name mentioned though. And I just usually don't think to comment. Most of the time I read my friends page without commenting at all, even for good friends.

Fair 'nuff.

Remind me to pester you at some point, since despite making rather a bad first impression on me way back, that was about four years ago and it's hardly worth thinking about now :P

Pesterpester?

Yeah, I'm not at all like I was. Other than alive. And male. >_>
