So Adobe has this knowledge base article – Install Adobe AIR Linux 1.5 on 64-bit Linux distributions – to describe how to install Adobe Air on 64 bit linux systems. Do yourself a favor – just install wine from the standard repositories, and then execute the last line in the instructions:
sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32 Wine already sets up a complete 32bit compatible environment, so you don’t have to worry about manually breaking out shared libraries....
An “old” but quality link to read when you have 20 minutes or so to kill. It’s a “mostly” serious take on what interstellar economics might look like (and all the pitfalls that go with it).

So I discovered that Guitar Pro 5 “works” with wine (after installing Kubuntu 64 09.04). I say “works” because the MIDI part doesn’t (though there are lots of guides to wrap timidly around wine), but GP5 uses RSE (real sound engine I think), so some of the instruments don’t use MIDI. It’s close enough to practice against.
I also got TF2 to “work” but unfortunately won’t be a replacement any time soon....
So I’m trying to figure out how to use this space now. Most “content” is being pushed through various social networking outlets (FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook), that this space has been sorely neglected. I’ve been trying to integrate my “workflow” so to speak and I haven’t yet figured out yet what this blog means (it also doesn’t help that I haven’t had time to put fingers to keys other than short bursts that are better suited to FriendFeed or Twitter)....
So due to a short sighted WMG, I’m hosting this new video myself. I’ve had to compress it down a bit more that I would like (though should still look OK at full screen), and the FlowPlayer logo is a little obtrusive (but I’m not yet sure how often I’ll need to host these myself, so I’m hesitant to buy a full license… great piece of software though). I still can’t believe WMG universally pulled out all their content....

Given Kindle’s wifi features and the ability to pull down newspapers (if I could get the Economist and the Washington Post I would be a very happy man), I’m very close to sold. However, there is one thing I wish they did:
For the price of the book + $1 or $2, I get the book AND the kindle version. For people who don’t want the physical book, charge half the price of the physical book....
