In the middle of the night

It is in the middle of the night. It all started around like 6 o’clock pm, when Math^ told me something about beryl. I looked it up, and it really is cool. Math^ suggested to install it, he’d help me out (I’m a huge beginner, more about it in a later post).

So we started, we installed the driver pretty fast. After this, the error came. We searched at google, tried a lot of things, but we couldn’t find it. But i didn’t give up. Couple hours later, profox decided to help me. Glx worked, but i still got the error. He wrote something i had to copy to xorg.conf, and restart.

Then it came, the screen with the strange symbols (&#&) all over the place, claiming X probably wasn’t configured right. Yeah, great. Stupid F#!@: error. Profox tried to fix beryl, in the meantime i was on another computer, re-typing all the commands. After a while, we kinda gave up, and I’d just have to reconfigure the xserver-xorg, and we would fix beryl tomorrow.

Well, yeah, in a perfect world it probably would, but now, it didn’t worked. I tried it over and over, profox and other people in IRC claiming it couldn’t be, but yet, it was. Followed several howto’s, it just didn’t worked. It was so strange.

Then profox came up with a good idea, he set up an FTP, so i could give him some files. He found it, at last. He shouted something about how stupid it was, and that the software should be improved, well, it will be improved, in like 6 months or so. I didn’t and still don’t know about what he was talking about, but i’m glad i’m back on my Ubuntu, with GNOME.

Hello world!

It happened. The blog is made. Just like that, suddenly, at once, by that one click. The beginning of something big.. Well, we’ll see how it will develop.

I surf a lot on the Internet. It is always pleasant when I come across a blogpost. Now, lately I had been thinking, I also have lots of opinions (well, who doesn’t, right?) and I like to argue, so maybe the whole blogging thing is something for me too! So, after some (euh..) weeks, it has finally been made.

Shaffox’s Blog. I’ll post now and then some articles/opinions or whatever, just to enjoy myself, and of course, you guys, the readers. Last but not least; I have chosen to do my blog in English. It isn’t my first language, so don’t bite me if I make a mistake, just report it would be great.
