I can’t believe I just read that whole thing. In my head, it all sounded like the adults’ voices on the “Peanuts” cartoons.

Hope you figured it — whatever it is — out.

Wow.

I have Debian Linux running on the computer at my house, so I’m familiar with the “Now-I-HAVE-to-get-it-running-on-priciple” mindset, since most of the programs available for Linux and Unix are archives that I have to manually compile.

Tenacity is a wonderful thing, eh? :-)

The really sad part is that I very seriously read this nodding my head and at each step thinking, “Yup that’s probably what I would have done.”

The worst of it is after accomplishing the mission from hell our wives really don’t want us to explain the technical marvel that we’ve just achieved… which I guess is why we have our blogs. :-)

I used to think computers were supposed to be useful tools and fun toys. But now I think of them more as adversaries to be defeated. Heh.

OTOH, I have pretty much accepted defeat with getting my wifi card to work with Linux. I put up a good fight, but I’m going to break down and buy a card that has support built in to the kernel.

Rong, what’s _really_ sad is that one day, someone will be googling for “AVI VCD” and this post will turn up, and it will be a practical guide for someone else who will go through the same elaborate voodoo I did. I suppose, being a programmer and all, I could build something myself. … Nah.
