uncyclopedia Article by Francesco Di Leo

Holidays are approaching, at least for me, I live in Italy, the work and the study become heavier because of the heat and this increases the desire for some recreation. Even the simplest games can be very funny if you are in a suitable place. While I was looking for a specific site, I came accidentally across to a weird site: nonciclopedia.wikia.com (uncyclopedia.wikia.com for the English version, but it’s available in different languages). I can already hear someone say: “but come on, you do not know this one ?” Yes, I did not know about this site before three days ago. And I think that there might be someone else who does not know it. I have read some articles in Italian and English, and none was a simple translation from one language to another, so for people who know more than one language these sites are more funny.

Thanks to a great application list made by Carla Schroder I’ve discovered this software: Game Editor.

Game Editor is the open source game design software that gives you the power to create the games of your dreams, and, unlike other game creation tools, gives you the chance to get and change the source code of the game creator and design and develop 2D games for personal computers as well as mobile devices.

I was in need to mount some image from Nero, and so i discovered an useful small program: CDEmu.

CDEmu is a CD/DVD-ROM device emulator for linux, licensed under GPL v2 or later. It is a from-scratch rewrite of the legacy CDEmu project, which was started by Robert Penz.

And while i was searching for some documentation i found this useful from Gentoo Forum, a bit old, but still good:

Now that CDemu 1.0.0 is in Portage i decided to update my Nautilus mount script. What does it do? You Just right-click on an image, choose Scripts, disk-mount. It will load your image into an available device, your desktop’s automounter does the rest. Easy. CDemu supports all kinds of images, as opposed to mount -o loop, which can only handle iso. Also, you don’t need root rights to mount.
