Boswars

10:00 am — Main

Since a very long time ago, I’ve been looking for an open-source game to rival Age of Empires II.

I sincerely think, given some work, that boswars is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I even recognize some festival speech synth in there — and I find the death knells of the dune buggies hilarious.

Once they implement the ability to build walls, I’m going to have to quit my day job.

Note to the sane: not actually going to quit my day job for reasons of barely making rent as it is.

Update: Okay, so I quit my job, because I hated it.

Hello, world!

Yeah, I know, I’m lagging pretty hard. Couldn’t afford to pay the intarweb bill for a while. Hey, my country’s economy sucks, okay?

Quick update

I don’t know if it’s the router or the rtl8187b card, but connections stall, hang, and generally go to shit every so often. I’ve found that most of the blame goes to NetworkManager (I kill it when I log in and use ifupdown manually).

I’ve found that periodically reassociating with the AP fixes things, so I’m keeping an xterm with watch -n3 iwconfig wlan0 ... running minimized.

AP is a Netgear WGR614 (v7).
