LÖVE Textmate Bundle (love2d)

LÖVE the game engine written in Lua has recently been ported to Mac! This makes me happy, so in an effort to learn all syntax and modules of LÖVE, I took the time to create a Textmate bundle.

Here it is, attached for all the Textmate LÖVE-ing you need.

This bundle also includes Lua Syntax: version 0.8 by gavin@refinery.com.

Update: This has been moved to GitHub.
Mr. French’s Bundle o’ LÖVE.

Howto: XP install on the Compaq A940NR (A900 Series Notebook)

Compaq A940NR

A couple of months ago I picked up a Compaq A940NR.

While nowhere close to the build or quality of a Mac, for a budget Windows machine it is a great deal for the price with it’s Dual Core 1.8ghz Intel, 17 inch screen, 3 gigs of ram, 200gb hard drive, built in Webcam, 802.11a/b/g, 5 in 1 card reader and DVDR/CDR with Lightscribe.

Too bad you are stuck with Windows Vista out of the box.

When I first picked it up, I ran Windows Vista for about a week and by the end of day 4 wanted to rip my hair out. I did not need a Windows machine at the time (and figured I would just run Windows in VMWare for testing..) so I installed Gentoo Linux.

Gentoo had it’s time, but I now need another machine for running test builds again and VMWare is just not cutting it. The XP install is straight forward, just make sure that the first thing you do is disable Native SATA option in the bios. After that, all the drivers can be found at the links below.

Note: These may or may not work for your A900 model and their may be updates to the drivers. If in doubt, just check the HP/Compaq support site.

Enjoy,

French ;{)
