I CALLED MY CHARACTER “ROB DONEY”. IT MAKES ME HAPPY TO THINK THAT MY DAD WILL BE RECOVERING THE WATER SYSTEM CHIP THAT VAULT 13 SO DESPERATELY NEEDS.
So… While we wait around for something to happen with our hosting and domain I guess this site is still working (I guess that means we’re still paying our old hosting some kind of money) so I guess that means I can blog!
Things I have achieved recently:
- Installed a download manager thing called Aria 2.
- Used Aria 2 to torrent Fallout.
- Installed Fallout on Linux and applied some patches.
- Didn’t actually do any real work other than get up at 2.30am to go make coffee at the airport.
Fallout on Linux
Hi, kids! I roll with the latest stable Debian 64 bit build (Lenny) and the latest version of WINE (1.0.1) and I used this torrent of Fallout. Nothing worked until I ran “winecfg” and changed the compatibility to Windows 98. Everything worked as it was meant to this way and I was running 1.0 (US edition, I believe) with no drama.
I didn’t bother with the official 1.1 patch, jumped straight to the semi-official 1.2 patch. I also installed the 1.3.4 TeamX patch and the Children Patch to put those little critters back in the game. Game ran waaay better with these patches (durr) – had to decapitalise all of the filenames to get it to start loading/saving again but that is just life. I really want to play it now but I need to blog and then I basically need to sleep.
"I guess that means I can blog"
if this is how it’s going to be maybe you should just not blog & use that valuable waiting-for-hosting time to think of something not shit to blog about
huh? huh?
