New computer, and Beryl in all its glory!

Yup, I got my new computer finally! AMD64, PCI-e graphics card, and 320Gb of HDD goodness. :) Only problem is I didn't quite realise how annoying it is to get stuff working on 64bit Ubuntu. It's not too bad though: the boys were here last night to watch a DVD and Toby decided to help me get flash running... by running Firefox on 32 bit again. *sigh* Next up I'll probably need FS drive installed to try to read the EXT3 partition on my HDD.

Installed Riven on my computer, like, finally. Had to jump through hoops of course because the game was SO old that it has problem running on XP. I kid you not. But it's all going now, and now I can remember why I thought Myst was a brilliant idea and cool game but I'll never do well on it: I'm so bloody lost in the game that even a map doesn't help much. At least the worlds on Myst weren't quite that big... The first world in Riven is bloody huge... I'm so lost. :( (or is it the only world? I'm not too sure...)

Alright, need some sleep now... gonna meet with my supervisor tomorrow and for once I'm not really worried about him thinking I'm slacking off: I actually have a good plan that I would like to try... just have to worry about how long it'll take to try it all. I just need to found a friggin printer tomorrow to print my report out, and I'll be one happy camper. :)

P.S.: Next time I'll try to do some screen shot of my pretty new Beryl working on my Ubuntu. :)

P.P.S.: For those who really wants to know: I named my new computer Normad, after this little dude. :)
