0 A.D. - History is yours for the taking!

From the official F.A.Q's

* What is 0 A.D.?
0 A.D. ("Zero ey dee") is a historical Real Time Strategy game currently under development by Wildfire Games. As the military leader of an ancient civilisation, you must gather the resources you need to raise a military force capable of dominating your enemies.

This game is currently in Beta. Don't let that stop you from checking out this impressive effort!! If you're keen enough to find and load this then you are keen enough to appreciate the great amount of detail this game has / will offer!!! The options for Scenario Editor, Campaigns, and Options are dead. The first option you will want to use when this amazing game is available is "Fullscreen", Here's why, . .


A Roman buttkickin' about to happen! These stills are nothin', tough, compared to seeing this thing in motion. Everything is alive in this game, the grass, trees, people, chickens, elephants, etc, . .

The options at this stage are straight and to the point! No surprises here, even a truck stop employee could set up a round and start playing.


You are able to rotate and zoom to ground level. The graphics on said game are stunning, especially the landscapes! I look forward to my first major battle. These two dudes will have to kick some ass on their own for now.


Here are two Romans on horseback violently slaughtering a deer for no apparent reason.


This game is so awesome that you are treated to Roman trivia while the level loads.


All and all a great game, but what's with the Butterfaces walking around my temple?? Please fix the chicks, . . this is a video game. K, thanks!


Keep an eye out on this one!!! http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/

Phasex! LinuxSampler! Pizza Game!!!

Pizza Game is just that. It appears to be based around a robot that manages a pizza store. It looks lik the project has been abandoned though. : (

Linuxsampler is a free, streaming capable open source pure software audio sampler with professional grade features, comparable to both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac software samplers and to introduce new features not yet available by any other sampler in the world.

Phasex is an experimental software synthesizer for use with Linux/ALSA/JACK. The name comes partially from its experimental method of using phase offset modulation, where each oscillator can have its phase offset between right and left channels modulated by an LFO or another oscillator.



Create a Text File of Installed Apps

To store a list of every application that is currently installed to a file called apps.txt load up a blank terminal and run the following command:

dpkg --get-selections > apps.txt


This will store a list of every application that is currently installed to a file called apps.txt. If you are wanting to re-install your OS, then make sure that you save this file to a USB stick!

Once you are ready to install all your applications again:

dpkg --set-selections < apps.txt
dselect update
apt-get dselect-upgrade show

Now after a lot of downloading and installing, you will once have all of your applications installed again. It may be an idea before you re-install your OS to back up the /etc/apt/sources.list file, so that you are able to download the applications that you may of got else where.

If you have any questions about this methord, then please leave a comment!

Tuning Swappiness to speed up your Ubuntu!

If you have been running Linux systems for some time and you have used applications like 'top' to see what's going on in your machine, then you've probably wondered: Where has all my memory gone? You should know that the largest place it is being used in is the disk cache, as the cached memory is free and it can be replaced anytime if a newly started application needs that memory. Linux systems are made like this to use so much memory for disk cache because the RAM is wasted if it is not used and if something needs the same data again, then there is a very good chance to be in the cache memory.

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and paste the following code:

sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf

Now add the following line at the end of this file:

vm.swappiness=10

The number at the end of this line can be between 0 and 100. At 100 the Linux kernel will prefer to find inactive pages and swap them out, while value 0 gives something close to the old behavior where applications that wanted memory could shrink the cache to a tiny fraction of RAM. Save, close and reboot.
