Playing Mari0 on Ubuntu 12.04

If you are looking to play Mari0 on Ubuntu you may have run into a bit of a roadblock because love 0.8.0 is not yet available for Precise from the love-unstable ppa.  No need to worry though the .deb file for Oneiric will work just fine.  


First download the .deb from launchpad, either amd64 or i386.  Then install dependencies by running.
$ sudo apt-get install libdevil1c2 libmng1 libfreetype6 libgl1-mesa-glx liblua5.1-0 libphysfs-1.0-0 libsdl1.2debian libopenal1 libogg0 libvorbis0a libvorbisfile3 libflac8 libflac++6 libmpg123-0 libc6 libgcc1 libphysfs1 libstdc++6
Then install the love-unstable with dpkg
~/Downloads$ dpkg -i love-unstable_0.8.0~r1028-0oneiric1_<amd64/i386>.deb
Run  love-unstable on mari0 
~/mari0$ love-unstable mari0_1.3.love


Enjoy what is possibly the coolest crossover game of all time.

    I was able to install love 0.8.0 from the ppa, by using the terminal, not the Software center

Writing Goals

  Recently I came to the conclusion that I should write more often.  That is, I believe, I should start to consider myself a "writer."  That's the main reason there's been a bit of an increase in publishing to this blog (going from zero over the past few years to a couple times a month is a pretty huge jump).     I, like most humans, have thoughts and opinions which are a product of the times and places in which I live.  I figure I can do my part for future historians and write a few of them down.  I also just might have enough creative juice to pump out a story or two. This blog   I'd like to post to this blog at least once a week from now on, or at a minimum once a month.  Really, anything at all would be better than what I've been doing.  I'll mainly write about my life, family, interests, and opinions about, current events and local and state politics (I'll try to steer clear of national issues for my own sanity).  Pretty much whatever I fee

Lunch time in The Dirty!

    The Dalles has quite a few restaurants relative to it's size.  Some are great some are down right bad.       These are my five favorite places to eat lunch in The Dalles in no particular order.  Some are old favorites and others are relatively new establishments.  All serve delicious food and drink. Montira's Thai     Montira's is the only thai place in town.  But that lack of competition doesn't keep them from delivering a quality product.  Other restaurants of the Asian  variety  have them beat as far as portion size and price go but they  serve  a quality product consistently.  I can't say that about many other places in town.     Montira's serves really great food for a decent price.  Just be warned if you ask for extra-spicy you will feel it all the next day...  But its worth it if you really like spicy. Spooky's     Spooky's is one of those places that this town wouldn't be the same without.  Its almost the default place to meet peo

Going to Mexico.

    Next week I'll be flying down to LA with my wife and daughter and hopping on a ship down to Mexico. We'll be on a Disney cruise ship for a week doing whatever the heck we feel like.  I'm planning on taking lots of pictures and writing about our trip, mostly just to be able to look back and remember the trip better.     This is probably the biggest vacation either my wife or I have taken and it is the first time our little daughter will be out of the country.  I've been on lots of charter boats for deep sea fishing but never a big ship like this.  I really like being on the ocean and we love Disney in my house so this should be the best freaking trip ever!...  I have high expectations. Disney + Ocean + Mexico +  Family = Happy awesome fun time!
