#Kemp: November 2012
http://kempj.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. Moving on from Ubuntu. After receiving the suggestion from several people I know, I finally made the plunge and installed Mint. At home to replace Ubuntu. I'm very glad I did - I'd almost forgot what it was like not to have to fight against your OS. Looking back, I can't believe what I came to accept as "normal". Maybe over time my opinion will change, but for now I would definitely recommend Mint over Ubuntu. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What am I doing?

#Kemp: Network switch buying attempt
http://kempj.blogspot.com/2013/05/network-switch-buying-attempt.html
Sunday, May 26, 2013. Network switch buying attempt. Firstly, there does not appear to be a single place in Coventry city centre to buy a network switch. Not a single one. I do have to highlight two of the responses we got though when asking around if anyone knew of a place to get one. No, it's illegal. People use them to hack their consoles.".

#Kemp: March 2012

Friday, March 02, 2012. So I know Notch publicly stated that he hadn't written tests for the Minecraft code and didn't intend to because it's too hard to do, but the problem (other than your mind blowing when you read things like that) is that every release introduces the most stupid regressions possible. Let's take the recent 1.2 set of releases as the example here:. Big tree generation is fixed. The game now crashes if you look upwards at the sky, and mobs don't burn in sunlight anymore. The above are ...

Wednesday, August 03, 2011. Amazon App Store Ripping Off Developers? A few links follow regarding the Amazon app store potentially being really bad for developers.

#Kemp: Humble Origin Bundle makes me sad
http://kempj.blogspot.com/2013/08/humble-origin-bundle-makes-me-sad.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Humble Origin Bundle makes me sad. So the new Humble Bundle. Went up and this time it's the Humble Origin Bundle, made up entirely of EA games. Sigh. Let's make a list shall we? Why I have a problem with helping out EA generally:. Why EA were a bad fit for the bundles:. There is nothing Humble about EA. One of the major selling points of the bundles when the scheme started was that you got a bunch of indie games with no DRM to play whenever and however you want. We now have...

Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Mindcraft FTB modpack comparison. I am in the process of setting up a Feed The Beast. FTB) server, and in doing so I am required to choose which edition of the pack I want to use. The FTB site has a comparison page. And from that I've assembled a quick comparison between the Direwolf20 and MindCrack packs (the two that seemed most interesting to me). First, the mods included in both packs:. Now the mods only included in the MindCrack pack:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
