welcome aboard.
I’m so used to using text editors to type up my thoughts and math…
but DAMN is it so much easier to just write it down by hand. :P

Making a Minecraft launcher [for GNOME, using Fedora]
So. :D I just created a Minecraft launcher for Linux (for all users).
A small feat, sure, but it’s progress! I’M LEARNING THINGS!
(if you’re interested, read on for a quick excessively wordy, but simple tutorial on how)

libpcre.so.3 == libpcre.so.0.0.1
If you try to install <things requiring libpcre.so.3> on Fedora, you might get an error about libpcre.so.3 not being found. To correct this, just symlink your /lib/libpcre.so.0 to libpcre.so.3, like this:
ln -s /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /lib/libpcre.so.3
And reload your libraries with:
ldconfig -v
You don’t have to download that Debian version of libpcre, they just unilaterally chose to rename libpcre as version 3 for some reason, and because so many people use Ubuntu, it’s starting to creep into common usage.

DocScan for iOS will turn photos you’ve already taken or new ones, and turn them into a worthwhile and professional scan in PDF format.
Once you’ve scanned your image, you can then save it as a PDF with DocScan. Saving them items lets you easily bring them back up again to email, upload to Google Docs, or post on Facebook. The easy upload to Google Docs feature alone makes DocScan worth the download.

This is insane. Ok, let’s get into it. K represents potassium on the periodic table, and v is most likely velocity…
Almost done formatting… :D

…YAY! :D :D :D
aaaaaaaand, now to format the partition I’m actually going to be using. (silly installer).
Anyway, hi! I’m Rob. I’m a digital citizen (read: addicted to the internet), a gamer, a tinkerer, and a lover of all things. Oddly, as much as I love (and am addicted to) electronics and technology in general, I frequently go on walks through the forest and pretend life as we know it doesn’t exist yet. I despise capitalism, but am looking to climb my way up the ladder. And, I love the benefits of a well-thought out plan… but I love throwing it all to the wind just as much. :D
Now, why does this blog exist? Well, simply enough, the other day, a few friends and I were talking our typical banter, chatting, discussing, debating, and creating… when suddenly, one topic WILDLY led to another, and a billion-dollar idea was formed. Call me cocky… but I’m certain that if we see this through to the end, we could become the next big name in consumer electronics and entertainment. :D
But, don’t get me wrong… while money is definitely one of our motivating factors, we’re not necessarily looking to get rich. We simply had an awesome idea, and we want to see it happen. That… and there’s a few regular practices in our specific industry that we just don’t agree with. Armed with our ideas, we believe we can cast our product into the murky seas of money-making and reform the industry to work the way it should be: focused on entertainment.
Over the course of the next few months, you’ll probably see me rant about the industry (which I’m intentionally leaving out, for now at least, until we gain a better idea of what we’re allowed to say), go on tirades about technology that won’t agree with me (when I probably just skipped over a simple option, hah), and sketch out notes for myself (and possibly even you!).
If you know me, please, feel free to follow me! Don’t know me? Follow me anyway! :D However, just know that once my server is all set up (the very thing that’s reformatting right now), I maaay be migrating this blog to over there. I’ll post a link once it gets to that point, though. :]
[…aaaaaaagh, ONLY 7%? this’ll be a while… time for some quality gaming time? :D]
Ummm… yeah! Thanks for reading, and I’ll catch ya soon :)
