Rediscovering Betrayal at Krondor Using DOSBox
Submitted by chadm on Thu, 2007-09-06 14:25.While I was in high school a game I really enjoyed was Betrayal at Krondor. It's based on a fantastic series of novels by Raymond E. Feist. I've been re-reading them this summer and it made me nostalgic for the game as well.

Video on the Web: Browser Support
Submitted by chadm on Fri, 2007-08-31 21:07.While researching the plug-ins piece of this series a problem with browser support became very obvious.

The sad fact was that Firefox (and presumeably Mozilla as well) was the only one to use the plug-ins properly.

Using a BlackBerry Curve with Linux
Submitted by chadm on Sun, 2007-07-29 06:35.I recently got a BlackBerry Curve for work, and being a Linux user I was immediately interested in getting them to work together. The bad news is that RIM doesn't make a driver for Linux. The good news is that you can still get them to work together anyway. Here's how.
