Last week I built a toy robot for my daughter out of a cardboard box carefully leaving space in the head for my 770. A quick install of flite and an ssh from my laptop and we now have a talking robot.

Great fun.

Next up is Numpty Phsyics. Really do install this if you get a chance. You may need to read a few threads and use the dpkg --force-depends but once up and running it is quite mind bending and really is one of the most original gameplay concepts I have seen for quite a while.

Last but not least was converting a few (legitimate) mp4 videos so I have a bit of video to watch if I get bored. Media Convertor from the garage is so simple to get running on my Intel Mac and pretty fast too. Great quality playback from mplayer even with the old version that I am running.

There is still plenty of life in 2007HE for me yet although I need to find time to run my 2008HE install more regularly as it was surprisingly usable.

Cheers,
John
