Django 1.2 was release today. Kudos to all the people who made it possible! Head on over and grab a copy and don't forget to read about the release! Time to get updating your sites!
I just stumbled on this post from meta stackoverflow. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/37328/my-godits-full-of-unicorns
wow...
And in case anyone is curious, here's my gravitar unicornified.
I recently purchased World of Goo from 2D Boy and wanted to run it on my laptop. When I would try to run the game, it would freeze up my system. Looking at the log file that was generated, it appeared that my graphic card was causing the issue.
After some searching, I turned up a forum post saying to install a program "driconf" (Debian based systems can get it from the repositories). I figured what the heck and gave it a shot.
After installing driconf, I ran the application as SU and clicked on the "Image Quality" tab and turned on "Enable S3TC texture compression even if software support is not available." I also turned on "Use HyperZ to boost performance" on the first tab for good measure :)
Now I can play World of Goo!
I'm a web developer/software engineer living in Minnesota with my wonderful wife, Amanda and rambunctious lab, Desiree. I work primarily with .NET technologies during the day and play with Python/GAE at night.
This is my little niche on the web. It's a place for me to post things I find helpful and interesting, share things with friends and family, comment on different subjects, and contribute back to the developer community.
The site is powered by the Django web framework and was designed and developed by me. All HTML and CSS is valid and I've tried to make it accessible to all. Feel free to contact me directly at ben@bstruthers.com and let me know if I've missed something.
