Mupen64_nogui mythdora

hrm been having problems getting this to work with the latest mythdora release…I can make it run in command line mode, but not as an icon on the desktop nor within the mythdora game settings..they changed it from the .19 release, running .20 now…anybody running mupen64 and having no problems? I still only get about 40% of my games to run in the windows emulator, but was hoping for better results in linux..also have been hearing about gamepad and joystick issues..does anybody who reads this try this sort of thing? lemme know, leave an email and help me out..

Trump says “bush is worst president in history”

Pretty powerful stuff from somebody like Trump, who by all reasons should support US Colonial pursuits…

Olympus FE-180 Review

Well for only $159 at fry’s it was a pretty good deal, 6 mega pixel, takes great shots although the motion stabilization leaves something to be desired, the flash is very bright and it comes with rechargeable batteries and a charger…I broke the LCD screen the second week I had it because it doesn’t ship with a leather case, but hey, it still takes great photos and fits in my pocket..highly recommended if you can grab one for 100-130 these days, the olympus lens isn’t the best but close enough to the zeis and sony..

Font usage in web 2.0 documents, XML, palette

I have been debating recently the use of appropriate fonts in the web setting. The current fonts in use are mostly bastardizations of traditional (and copy written) fonts…I am now in the process of accumulating fonts sets similar to color palettes, matching in some way and not overly derivative of one another…please post any suggestions you might have..this blog will be updated with my current favorite fonts, and hopefully some form of historical background as well..I feel this is necessary to prevent the continued misuse of serif and cursive fonts throughout the internet, as these fonts do not scale as well and require additional weight (and additional files) to properly be resized for commerical use…all comments and suggestions welcome.

The first mentioned font is FRUTIGER
