Linux games suck.  Not the gameplay, that’s usually pretty cool, although nothing like the quality of a good Windows, Sega, Sony, or X-Box Game… but the installation.  Good god, I’m pretty technical, but this takes the cake…  why linux didn’t break into the game market. So I downloaded this great game called ‘racer’ for linux. Its screenshots were snappy and cute as heck with nifty graphics and etc. But installing it, well, it just goes to show you why linux has a long way to go to enter the ‘gaming market’.

Cool.  I gotta get this…  Mark Paschal: Stapler 1.7.0 is a Radio 8 tool that “creates web syndication feeds from web sites. These feeds can be used with Radio UserLand’s News Aggregator, or other XML syndication software. Flexible scripts for scraping with CSS-like selectors and regular expressions are included as well as several special purpose scrapers, but Stapler is expandable with your own scraping scripts written in Radio’s UserTalk language.”  [Scripting News]
