software

2007-04-28 – While it works if compiled (slowly) from source, and can sync audio properly now that I’ve tried it again.. it can’t capture a reasonable-sized screen. It doesn’t even get the aspect ratio right.

xvidcap (gvidcap) – says it can record audio, and it can, but it doesn’t do it right. I have to research this problem.

A straightforward but powerful window manager.

Openbox has been my window manager of choice for years now. Over that time, I’ve amassed some significant knowledge which I’ll try to maintain here.
A component of LXDE.

Well, it’s got a sellout anime feeling to it. The graphics and sound are more cartoonish. A number of the annoyances of the first game have been hammered out, but there is a “toy” quality to the game which replaces the original gritty feeling of the original game.

Properly titled Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
My notes are for the PlayStation 2 version.
- It’s also available on Steam: Disgaea 2 PC

An interface for userspace programs to export a filesystem to the Linux kernel.

Running things under FUSE is sub-optimal. It’s better to run under the kernel directly. However, userland stuff is the only way to achieve certain effects, like everyday user control or to work around licensing issues.

Fuse is not secure! – Noted on https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse. See issue #15
