Four Island

Because of the outcome to this poll, I'm not sure that everyone even knows what filesystems are. At least no one voted for HFS!

ext2 or ext3 - 2 vote(s)! FAT32 - 0 vote(s)! NTFS - 0 vote(s)! HFS - 0 vote(s)!

Also, once again, if anyone knows how to answer the questions of the previous post, I'd be really happy. Actually, please just focus on the first one, because it's much more annoying and because Smiley posted a comment about a way to do it that seems to work. Thanks Smiley!

I'd like to bring to everybody's attention a fun website called Dvorak.

It's a customizable card game, one in which you get to create your own deck of cards and play them with special rules.... OK. I'm not making it sound as fun as it actually is. That description is no good, go to the actual site, you'll enjoy it!

I have I user page on that wiki as well, go to User:Hatkirby. I have recommended some of the games on that page, and I have also put a link there to a deck I made myself. So try it! Go to Dvork and play! IT'S FUN!

EDIT: Oh yes, I forgot, I have a few questions I need to ask. I'd put them in the comments, but it saddens me to notice that no-one ever reads those anyway, so here they are (If you know the answer to any of them, please email it to me):

• In Xubuntu, how to you get the display to stop turning off every 5 minutes of idleness, because it is driving me insane.
• Also in Xubuntu, does anyone know how to turn of the BEEP noise, because in GNOME there was an obvious way to do it in the Control Panel, but that's not there in Xfce.

Random.

...eating corn? - 3 vote(s)! ...watching a bad TV show? - 0 vote(s)! ...doing homework? - 0 vote(s)! ...getting mugged? - 0 vote(s)!

I KNOW! Anyway, happy Palm Sunday, everyone! Only 1 more week until Easter!

In other news, the development of Xidet is going fine. The main base is complete, but the modularity system needs to be further along in it's development and some more modules need to be written before Xidet can be released.

Well... I don't know how much I can say about this poll....

CVS - 0 vote(s)! Subversion - 2 vote(s)! GIT - 0 vote(s)! Other - 0 vote(s)!

And just to be on the excruciatingly random side, here's a screenshot of a gnome-terminal in Linux that I saw yesterday.

It was a dark and stormy night. On Feburary* 22nd 2008, a short man wearing a black leather coat that completely enveloped him walked up to a closed internet cafe. He taped something to the door and took two steps back. sssss A hole was burnt into the door. He reached through the hole and opened the door.

He walked up to a computer, turned it on, hacked past the login screen, and used IE to access http://www.fourisland.com. He looked at the Poll of the Week.... and let out a shriek. Someone had already voted from this location. Not only that, but the poll was a completely random one! He'd trekked all the way from Alabama so as to vote on the poll before Saturday, but it was not to be...

OK, that was REALLY random, but that just corresponds with the random poll. Here are the results:

Cat - 1 vote(s)! Dog - 2 vote(s)! Sheep - 0 vote(s)! Penguin - 0 vote(s)!

OK, with that over with, I would like to announce something about Tetrgi 2.1. I have set a release date for it on March 3rd. If anyone has any suggestions, please create a ticket for it in good time, so I have a chance to implement it and don't have to postpone the release.

And, just to compete with the randomity* of both the poll and its accompanying story, here's a random thing I found my XP machine doing yesterday: So do I, Adobe Updater, so do I.

*Note: I do have strange ways of spelling and pronouncing certain words that may seem like mistakes to other people. They were put there on purpose.

Yay, we had some votes this week! I don't mind if they weren't ample because it was a poll about Linux! And we all know everyone loves Linux anyway, right? So, here are the results!

Gentoo - 1 vote(s)! Debian or Ubuntu - 2 vote(s)! Red Hat or Fedora - 0 vote(s)! What's a distro? - 0 vote(s)!

In other news, if any of you are thinking of getting Linux, the best Linux I would suggest for people who either don't want anything complicated, or would like it, but can't do Gentoo because of it not supporting their Internet cards, would be Xubuntu. IT'S THE BEST! It's Ubuntu with the Xfce desktop environment instead of the GNOME one. Xfce is based off of GNOME, but it looks much better, still supports all GNOME applications and uses much less RAM! It you need a Linux, try Gentoo and then Xubuntu!

Some people may say, "Four isn't that special!" If you say that, let me just warn you that you are about to be proven absolutly WRONG!

1. Pick a word, any word at all.
2. Count the number of letters in that word.
3. Count the number of letters in that number.
4. Repeat step 3, and very soon you will find yourself stuck with four.

Want to know how this works? Well, it's pretty simple. Four is the only number in the English language that has the same amount of letters as it's value. Therefore, no matter how many letters something has, it will always end up as four. This also works in German and Dutch. Try it out, you'll be amazed!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the new year! My name is Hatkirby, and you all knew that already! I just wanted to say a very happy new year before I am dragged off and to bed.

On random side, I was playing a game. And there was a card in it that was... strange. I'll post a picture of it when I can access one.

Anyway, good night everyone, and have a great 2008!

HELLO EVERYONE! You all should know what today is! You don't? Of course you do! It's Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas, and thank you all for being with Four Island so far! I'm sure I will merry this site up for the rest of the day! Chao for now!

WOW! Quite a contrast to last week, I LOVE THIS WEEK! 12 VOTES! That's the most so far! Please, go look at the results before I explode:

YES! - 2 vote(s)! No. - 0 vote(s)! Maybe... I haven't decided... - 0 vote(s)! What on earth is Kirby Week? - 10 vote(s)!

In other news, I decided to check the size of the system32 folder on my computer against the folder where my website is, ASF. Look at this picture. Wow.

Anyway, keep the good work up everyone with the voting!
