Awhile back I got bored and thought I would look for some old school cartoons. You know the ones anyone over 40 grew up watching. What I call the real cartoons like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Superman, Road Runner etc etc... After looking around for a couple hours I found most of the oldies that I watched when I was a kid. :)

The only problem was they were scattered around on different sites and some of the sites wanted me to register... so they could send me a big dose of SPAM I suppose. So what I did was start my own little blog with all the cartoons. Yea I have some google ads on the blog but trust me its far better then most of the sites these cartoons came from.

Aren't your T-shirts too dull? All my Star Wars tees have a lot of colours and shades...

We think different, and give preference to quality over amount of colours. Those princess Leia in bikini T-shirts are printed with a technique called transfer, which more or less is like putting your T-shirt inside a printer.

We use screen printing, a technique that limits us to 6 colours per T-shirt (besides the T-shirt base color), but in return print quality is better, and your T-shirts will survive washing machines, pets and some small tsunami. Furthermore, we individually iron each T-shirt after printing, so that the design finish is smooth, firm and able to withstand more tempests.

CODEWEAVERS RELEASES CROSSOVER GAMES 8.1 FOR MAC AND LINUX
Latest "Zombie Mallard" Release Features Support for Left4Dead 2; Free PC Giveaway

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (November 18, 2009) – Despite a crazed assault of zombie playtesters on their headquarters, CodeWeavers, Inc., a leading developer of software products that turn Mac OS X and Linux into Windows-compatible operating systems, today announced the release of CrossOver Games 8.1 for both Mac and Linux, available immediately.

CrossOver Games allows Windows games to be played on Mac and Linux PCs without the need for a Windows operating system license.

The newest version, codenamed "Zombie Mallard", allows CrossOver customers to play the fervently anticipated sequel to the runaway hit Left4Dead, appropriately named Left4Dead 2. "Frankly, that's all we need to support to justify a new release," said Jeremy White, bloodless President and CEO of CodeWeavers. "We had the zombies practically beating down our doors to be able to run the sequel. We're particularly pleased that we were able to support Left4Dead 2 as soon as it was released. In this way, Linux and Mac users can also do their bit to stave off the effects of the apocalyptic zombie plague sweeping this nation."

As part of their efforts to arm the gaming populace with zombie killin' tools, CodeWeavers will also be giving away a fully loaded, custom built CodeWeavers gaming PC to some lucky winner.

"Jeremy Newman, our sys admin, is also our foremost first-person shooter in the office," said White. "He'll be custom building a brand-new, loaded CodeWeavers Linux Gaming PC, with a quad-core CPU, dual graphics cards, 27" monitor, and CrossOver Games installed. We'll be giving it away to someone this week. It'll be built and shipped to them in time to put under their (non-denominational) Christmas / Kwanza / Hanukah tree. It's part of our way of saying ‘Thank you' to our loyal customers. Oh, and zombies must die."

CrossOver Games is available for purchase directly from CodeWeavers and its authorized resellers. It is a download-only product. The cost for the product is $39.95, which includes 12 months of free product support and software updates.

Version 1.8.6 New Features:

• Fixed a critical bug in rpcrt4

The health care debate that's going on around this country is backed by shills like United health care. Big business who pays people to disrupt town hall meetings and come up with out right lies about the current situation.. like death panels..

To be honest ive all but given up on the sanity and common sense of the greater population of this country. The politicians in this country are bought and payed for by the upper 1% of the populous and the bottom 98% are so ignorant that they let it go on.. the remaining 1% doesn't want to be hung or put before a firing squad so WE just hunker down....

When all of our industry is finally exported, we become sick, our national debt hits 20 Trillion.. This country will be bankrupt and sold out by our cronies in Washington. Then were going to see just what its like to be a third world country. And a bankrupt third world country at that!

I suggest everyone take two hours and watch this movie "sicko"  by Michael Moore

This is not drama folks, this is reality in America today!

Soon their will be a new topic here "POVERTY"

Installing Software with Bordeaux

For this review I have installed three applications that I have that Bordeaux supports. IE 6 which is a free download, Adobe (PhotoShop 7) I know its a little behind the times but it's the latest version I own. And I also have Microsoft Office 2007.

To install a application in Bordeaux just go to your Applications menu then Bordeaux and select "Install Windows Applications" and Bordeaux will start up.

Once Bordeaux is running just double click on Application you want to install and their scripts will install any needed libraries for you.

The install of IE 6 is simple, I just started Bordeaux and double clicked IE 6 and the install proceeded without and problems. All I had to do was follow the install and answer a couple installation related questions.

PhotoShop 7 was just as easy as IE 6, I just double clicked PhotoShop 7 and the install started. After Bordeaux installed some needed libraries a dialog came up and ask me to browse to the install media. I then browsed to my PhotoShop 7 CD and and selected setup.exe and the install proceeded. After the install completed I had short cuts for PhotoShop 7 and Image Ready 7 in my Applications menu under Wine > Programs.

To run PhotoShop 7 all I had to do was go to Applications > Wine and click on the shortcut and PhotoShop started up and ran as expected.

Microsoft Office 2007 installation goes just like IE 6 and PhotShop 7 just double click the field in Bordeaux and the install starts and runs with any problems. The main difference in the install is when the install reaches about 75% it seems to slow down, I can see that its still working in the background and after about a 10 minute wait the install successfully completed.

Shortcuts for Office 2007 were also added under Applications > Wine > Programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007 are supported and run at virtually native windows speed on my Ubuntu system. With the limited testing ive done so far the only problem ive ran into is sometimes the equation editor doesn't display fonts as expected, other then that everything has worked as expected.

Bordeaux for Mac OS X

Bordeaux 1.8 is now running on current Mac OS X Leopard systems.

We have been working hard over the past month to get Bordeaux running on Mac OS X and all that hard work is starting to pay off. We now have everything compiling and running but like always more testing needs to be done before it's ready for final release.

The installer, Bordeaux programs, built-in Wine programs, bordeaux-winetricks, and a couple small test applications have been tested. The good news is everything that's been tested works very well and everything thus far tested has been stable.

Starting with the Mac OS X release of Bordeaux we are going to start bundling our own version of Wine. While this is allot more work, it will allow us to include some much sought after features that have been missing from vanilla Wine builds. For example the (always in the work's) DIB engine will be one of these new features. And with bundling Wine we can also Bundle in some other needed tools such as cabextract and unzip to make the use of Bordeaux and Wine as user friendly as possible.
