For most of our home computing needs, I've long since transitioned from a Window's environment to FOSS alternatives. Edubuntu as our operating system with the standard list of applications. However, I still dual-boot our system to accommodate a few hold-outs running on Windows.
The most important hold-out is MS Money. I've been using MS Money since the end of 1999 and find the program provides all the functionality, reporting and ease of use to manage our funds. However, I'm getting tired of dual-booting the computer. So, I wanted to try transitioning to a FOSS Personal Finance program. I decided to try importing the MS Money data into Grisbi, KMyMoneyand GnuCash.
With almost eight years of data, this a slug of data for another program to swallow. So I will only evaluate the program's ability to import the data. The application's ease of use, overall functionality and reporting options won't be addressed in this writeup.
The first hurdle is getting the data out of MS Money. In Money 2006, you individually export each account. This means each separate checking, retirement, college savings and investment accounts has to be exported by itself. The export options are loose QIF and strict QIF, but do not include OFX/QFX. For test purposes, I exported our checking account and the two largest investment accounts in the loose QIF format.
Let's start with Grisbi. I tested Grisbi on both Windows XP and Edubuntu. After installing the program, I chose Import from the File menu, pretty standard for all the programs. The Import Wizard was straightforward. I only had to specify the import file location, add US dollars to the currency options and set USD as the default currency. After that, Grisbi imported in the checking account data without any issues. All the transactions and the final balance were correct.
We're off to a good start, now let's try importing the investment accounts. Oops, Grisbi pops up an error message stating investment accounts are not implemented at this time, but it can try to import the file as a bank account. A Personal Finance program that doesn't track investments has limited use. Strike One.
Now, let's give KMyMoney a chance. Before importing, I had to set up a KMyMoney data file which specifies my personal data, default currency and account template. In KMyMoney, the date format is critical to importing the data. Launching the Import Wizard from the File menu, I had the option to adjust the date format filter. Clicking on the "New" button in the QIF profile section brought up various date options. Also, be sure to click "Automatically create missing payees" tick box. I found out the hard way that if I didn't, I then had to manually address each missing payee. That was an excruciating process. I gave up and attempted importing again (this time clicking the tick box). Then KMyMoney prompted me to manually match every different expenditure category to the KMMoney equivalent. Are you tired by this point? I was.
Finally, the program imported the checking account data. A quick look at the account balance revealed an incorrect amount. How can that be? I must have gotten sloppy and picked a wrong option along the way. Let's try again. Repeat the process and get the same incorrect checking balance. A sample audit of the account register reveals that KMyMoney didn't import any transactions where funds moved from the checking account into an investment account. Strike Two.
Ok, now it is GnuCash's turn. Same as the other programs, I launched the Import Wizard from the File menu and mapped to the QIF file. GnuCash began the import and prompted me to match the QIF accounts and categories with GnuCash's suggestions. Since these suggestions duplicated the QIF file, that was an easy step. Next, I specified the default currency. Then, GnuCash wanted me to match up any duplicated entries between two lists. I skipped matching any duplicates and GnuCash successfully imported the checking account. The account balance was even right.
Remembering Grisbi, I started the import on one of the investment accounts with a bit of trepidation. Similar to the checking account import, GnuCash prompted me to match accounts and categories plus set the default currency. Next GnuCash brought up a section to manually enter each stock symbol. After these steps, GnuCash imported the investment account.
However, when I launched the Investment Portfolio Report the fund values were incorrect. So the next step was to open the Security Editor option under the Tools menu. Then for each separate investment, I checked the tick box to "Get Online Quotes". Next I went to the Tools menu, picked the Price Editor option and retrieved the updated price quotes. Lo and behold the fund balances were correct. Success!! Not a home run, since I only uploaded a sample of our finances, but a base hit for sure.
Only GnuCash was able to cope with my particular data file and transaction history. However, your particular situation may be different and allow you to use one of the other applications.
Overall, I really wasn't surprised by these trials and tribulations. I've had a similar experience attempting to get information shared between MS Money and Quicken. There was also the nasty work experience when the boss decided to switch from his five year old version of QuickBooks for Mac to an updated version of QuickBooks for Windows. So, the difficulties in importing financial data isn't an issue limited only to FOSS applications.
But with some persistence and a little luck, I might be able to get out of this dual-boot madness. Now if I can only get the Hallmark Greeting Card program switched to Edubuntu. If you've ever taken little children to a greeting card store, you'll know why I won't give up that program.
Thanks, Chris. This is a subject of much interest to me also. I've been using MS Money since 1995 and expect it to be quite a project to get moved over to GnuCash. I like the reports in Money and suspect I'll be doing without some of the things I really like to see. I'm also curious how the import will work with classifications.
Looking forward to more installments in this series!
? an alternative
Thanks also Chris. I've been using MS Money since the early 1990's and it is the one only MS program I can't do without :o( However MS Money 2 will run well under Wine but only (in my experience) 2005 versions. I can supply more details if reqd.

Card Studio
You should try running Hallmark Card Studio on Wine. The new version seems pretty robust. I just started fiddling with it, but haven't gotten around to Card Studio yet. But a couple of things that failed in previous versions of Wine work fine now.
Run MS Money on Linux
I would give up dual boot to directly run on MS Money on Linux. It's fast and with the right tools very easy:
Alternatively you can run your stuff in Parallels, you can run everything in it (it's a Windows VM for Linux), it's just a bit more heavyweight.:
You might want
You might want to try moneydance. I am using this and I like it very much compared to Quicken which is what I have used in the past. Since it is a Java version you can run it on Mac, Windows, and of course Linux.
Hello, I face the same dilemma and found out about another app called Moneydance (moneydance.com) that seems pretty good. I installed it and imported my .qif export from MS Money. Sorry to say that I haven't tested it beyond that. Maybe someday.. Btw, Moneydance is not free (there's a trial period however). But, if it works well then I have no problem in buying the software.
"Anonymous coward"
Try Ledger
I too was wedded to MS Money. I did not really like any of the GUI Linux alternatives. I dual-booted for awhile just to use Money. Eventually I hated dual-booting enough to switch to GnuCash. But then I found Ledger. It's CLI, which is a completely different paradigm, but I actually like it even more than MS Money and now you couldn't pry Ledger out of my hands.
I've been using gnucash for going on 6 years, and it just gets better and better. If anyone tried it even a year or two ago, I would suggest giving it another try. I've studied in finance, and done bookkeeping, and I really love Gnucash. There are a few gtk GUI oddities if using it in KDE, but I barely notice them anymore.

OAKLAND -- Warriors center Andrew Bogut said Monday after being ruled out for the 76ers game that he has a bone bruise and swelling in his left shoulder and that coach Mark Jackson's comment that the injury may have been caused by sleeping was "absolutely ridiculous."
Bogut said he hurt the shoulder while playing Jan. 31 in a win at Utah, began getting soreness the day after and played through the discomfort in Tuesday's loss to Charlotte. He said he woke up in pain the following day and thought, "It's really killing me." An MRI exam later revealed a bone bruise and swelling, Bogut said.
"It's gotten worse and worse, so I just wanted to address it," Bogut said. "The sleeping comment is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know where it came from."
"It's definitely not the case I just woke up, slept on my shoulder wrong and have a bone bruise and swelling in my shoulder from sleeping, very highly unlikely I believe."
Jackson said before the game he did not know how Bogut got hurt before offering these comments:
"As far as I know, it was not on the court," Jackson said. "It wasn't in practice. It wasn't in a game. I'm not really sure. It may have been sleeping, and I say that in all seriousness, but it's important for us to make sure we continue to treat him, it's legitimate, and then let's be smart with it. We're looking ahead at a whole week of rest and recovery, and we need him."
The apparent miscommunication comes at a time when reserve center Jermaine O'Neal also will miss the game because of right wrist inflammation, leaving a banged-up David Lee to return to the lineup at center.
"We have only two games left before the (All-Star) break," said Lee, who has been battling a shoulder sprain and hip strain. "With a couple other guys down right now, I think it's important to finish off strong, so whatever I can give, I'll try to give."
Lee missed the team's previous two games even though he said the shoulder and hip continue to be "nagging" him. Forward Draymond Green will make his third consecutive start.

Two male shooting victims were taken Thursday night to Mercy Medical Center.
A passerby brought one male with a chest gunshot wound and another with a mouth wound to the hospital, said Lt. Dan McCartney.
A Canton police officer at the scene of an accident near the hospital was flagged down about 10:03 p.m. and informed of the shooting. McCartney said detectives were not yet able to interview the victims because of their condition and were still investigating Thursday night.

Lifting our republic above the aftermath of the stormy 2012 election season, the Oakland East Bay Symphony and music director Michael Morgan opened their 24th season Friday night with "Celebrating Democracy," an all-American tribute to the unifying power of music.
Taking his place before a slim line of brass, percussion and timpani musicians, Morgan launched composer Adolphus Hailstork's energetic "American Fanfare." Witnessed from a balcony seat in the gorgeous, art-deco cave that is the Paramount Theatre, the composition's joyful burst with hints of grandeur was not unlike the experience an immigrant might have, sighting land after months at sea.
Having disembarked on solid American ground, the concert took off on a crisscrossing musical journey.
Bay Area composer Gordon Getty's earliest piano pieces emerged in the symphonic world premiere of "Homework Suite," a collection of five movements whose only disappointment was their brevity. From the mesmerizing "Seascape" through "Giga's" Irish-laced jig to the galloping "Night Horses," the symphony here demonstrated what was to be the evening's shining achievement: a tenacious command of American composers' widely diverging styles.
Getty, on hand to pump two fists in a victory salute to the musicians, appeared enormously pleased and needed reminding to bow to the audience after the premiere's conclusion.
The symphony's principal clarinetist, Bill Kalinkos, shaped the heartland of the performance with Aaron Copland's "Clarinet Concerto," a work commissioned in 1947 by jazz master clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman.
Kalinkos arrived last season bearing a truckload of experience in both classical and contemporary music -- a must-have for Copland's composition with its two contrasting movements and for the symphony's frequent forays across musical genres.
Beginning with an Adagio notable for its tender "conversation" between soloist and orchestra, Kalinkos played casually, with the mysterious ease one hears in an accomplished musician. His performance was ethereal yet grounded, and much of the credit must be shared with Morgan, who was able to coach nuances from his musicians that wound their way into an embrace of Kalinkos' assured tones.
The concerto offers a showoff moment in a cadenza bridging its two movements, and Kalinkos did not disappoint. It foreshadowed the second movement's jazzy, Latin American-influenced sound explosion, and Kalinkos handily conquered the solo's rhythmic architecture and tonal range.
The second movement, all swing and racy exchange, pleased the crowd and set the stage for the increasingly muscular compositions featured after intermission.
"Episodes for Orchestra," by UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus Olly Wilson, was described by Morgan in remarks to the audience as a three-section work composed of seven episodes.
Tightly bound by foreboding strings, tympanic outbursts and sporadic fanfares from the brass and woodwinds, "Episodes" showed off the symphony's thunder most convincingly. A lyrical center section -- strings vibrating in smaller and smaller increments until an iridescent sound sheen was created -- gave way to gremlins, running through the final sections like a disjointed, three-legged race to the finish.
What better way to enter Leonard Bernstein's "Symphonic Dances" from "West Side Story," his All-American take on "Romeo and Juliet"?
Bernstein's cool/hot dynamic, captured by the snapping, vocalizing (twice) orchestra, and especially by the percussionists and pianist Hadley McCarroll, impressed. A lofty, sweet rendering of "Somewhere" soothed, before "Cool Fugue" and "Rumble" tore through the calm with a big band sound bouncing from one section of the symphony to another.
Suggesting democracy restored, "Celebrating Democracy" closed as it began: offering a healing balm in the majestic music of the Oakland East Bay Symphony.

December 21, 2005
Here's an update to the story News 12 told you about on Tuesday. An 85-year-old woman was scammed out of money she planned to use for bills and last minute Christmas shopping. And while the crooks posing as utility workers are still on the loose, help came today for Mary James in the form of secrets Santas.
She trusted two men that said they needed to look at wiring in her home. Mary James thought they were with the utility company. But the men were there to steal her money.
"I've got to pay my bills and my medicine, you know my medicine cost," James said.
Betty Fordham has known Mary James for nearly 30 years. She checks on her daily and helps her around the house. She called on her way over when Ms. James said she had been robbed.
"I ask her if she was alright, she said yeah, she didn't have any more. I said don't worry about the money because you can replace the money," Fordham said.
And the $162 stolen plus more was replaced when some News 12 viewers became secret Santas.
One woman agreed to do an interview but wanted to remain anonymous.
"I've helped friends, but never a stranger like this, but her story just broke my heart and I almost cried," the donor said.
"To tell the people I thank them ever so much they don't realize how much I appreciate it," James said.
But anonymous donors said it was appropriate since it is the season of giving.
"I thought I've got to do something even if it's a little, but just something to help her out for Christmas," one donor said.
Richmond County investigators are still looking for the men behind the scam. They are described as white, between the ages of 40-65. They wear gray and white construction hats. Both men are about 5'10" and between 170-180 pounds. One has gray hair and the other has brown hair. They are apparently driving a burgundy van or truck.

Evans, Ga--It's been a while since we can say Greenbrier has had a winning record. Matter of fact it was 2003 when they amassed seven wins. This year, a new head coach, a new work ethic and a new state of mind.
Kevin Hunt is now the man in charge of the Wolfpack and he's brought to the team a blue collar attitude. Ask the players and they'll tell ya, they have never worked this hard on and off the field. While you won't win a game in the weight room, it can certainly go a long ways in getting you prepared. So far, so good in that department.
"It's a culture change. You have to know you can go out there and compete every Friday night and compete every snap and you have to compete every day in practice" said coach Kevin Hunt
"Just a lot of hard work. We've been putting that in and coach Hunt is making sure we're putting that in and I think we're looking like a decent team" added Jeremy Harden
"Working hard, harder then we were, putting in the time, longer practices and just more team unity." added Kris Cannon
Jeremy Harden will be one of three backs who'll have to lead an offense that doesn't have a ton of experience while the defense has plenty of it. Still some questions to be answered for the Pack and most of them will have to wait and be answered when they turn on the lights and they count the games for real.

As I mentioned here a few weeks ago, I'm wearing a new hat: Massachusetts Political Editor for GateHouse Media New England.� As such, I've been recruiting a team of editors and reporters to consolidate and improve our campaign coverage, and putting together a new website, which went live today: MassPoliticalNews.com.
I'll be blogging there as well, which likely means you'll be hearing less from me here. I expect you'll keep sustaining good conversations even as my attention is diverted.
Here's my first MPN blog post. Now, it's off to Worcester for the Democrats' convention:
When the Massachusetts political class gathers in Worcester this weekend, 90 percent of the conversations will consist of variations on a single question: Who�s going to win? It�s an important and natural question. Everyone wants to know the future. We�re in a campaign and campaigns are about winning.
But it�s not the only question, and it comes with a bias toward watching the political process instead of participating in it. A better question: Who should win?
After all, voters don�t have to choose between these candidates until September in the primary and November in the general. We should spend our time and energy learning about the candidates� qualities, not handicapping their chances.
I�ve recently been named Massachusetts political editor for GateHouse Media, charged with coordinating our coverage of the 2014 campaign. I mentioned my new gig to Gov. Deval Patrick when he was in Framingham to meet with the MetroWest Daily News editorial board a few weeks ago, and asked him if he had any advice.
If you want to know what�s going on, Patrick told me, don�t listen to the pundits and the media and the consultants. Go to the people who have been meeting with these candidates in their living rooms and talking about them with their friends. Ask them why they decided to support their candidate. What do they see in him or her?
So here is my resolution as I head to Worcester for two days of mingling with Democrats: Resist the urge to ask who�ll win, and to ask other questions instead. What makes the candidate special? What is the candidate good at? What lingering doubts do you have about this candidate or that one? What drives the candidate, personal ambition or a larger mission?
A political campaign is not a horserace � it�s how free citizens choose their decision-makers. If media and political insiders though less about strategy and more about substance, we�d all be better off.

Unwanted stress may lead to even more serious problems.
Julie Chlopan is a high school senior who's currently enrolled in four-advanced placement courses; she says the pressure to excel academically has taken a toll on her.
"I think that society pressures students these days to work their hardest and not only to be an all A's student and take some of the hardest classes that their school has to offer but also to be involved in the extracurricular activities, to be in sports and at the same time have a social life," Chlopan explains.
A recent survey shows 44-percent of teens feel the most pressure to get good grades, while 32-percent are concerned about getting into college and 29-percent are stressed because they want to fit in socially.
Jeff Herring, who works with teenagers, says stress can be eliminated if a little structure is added to their lives.
"One of the things I help them to do is to try to break it down into manageable pieces, not trying to do everything at once, take things one at a time. Let's deal with this now, and then this next, and then this next," Herring says.
In addition to time management, Herring suggest extracurricular activities which can help alleviate stress.
Teens who are feeling severe stress should contact their school's counselor for additional guidance.

Texting and emoticons are popular new tools for communicating. Their widespread use and popularity prompted me explore an older form of communication shorthand. Morse code, created by Samuel Morse, is a type of character encoding that transmits telegraphic information using rhythm. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the letters, punctuation and special characters of a given message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes".
In this installation I created the symbols to represent the word R-E-L-E-A-S-E using visual elements photographed and then collaged within the constraints of the dots and dashes of Morse code. The dots and dashes are precisely laid out on the gallery walls to create visual rhythms that resonate across the walls of the gallery space and invite the viewer to explore the meaning both personal and universal of these terms.

Suppose we take a little theoretical trip back to pre-technology, before cars, planes, telephones and the modern advantages of electricity. Let's say we live in the valley where our ancestors dwelt, and this little valley has answered the tribal needs of 200 or so members for all these years past, and all is good. The past has proven that our tribe of 200 or so can live and sustain itself year in and year out, with all our physical needs for survival provided.

What the VP Says...
By Joesciallo-Oracle on Apr 19, 2007
I think you'll all agree that when the VP steps up and says something, we all tend to take his words a bit more seriously. (Seriously, I'm just a lowly tech writer myself.)
So, in case you missed it, tune into Jim Parkinson's latest blog entry to find out everything we'd like to accomplish in Comms going forward.
I think that it's very cool that he's talking about our nextgen client. With that cat out of the bag, I hope to provide some more details to get everyone excited with this new effort. The entire Comms install experience, since Jim mentioned it, is another area I'll blog about soon to clue everyone about what to expect there.


text:
All my previous posts were pretty much technical in essence, and several were related to my work habits: 3D desktop productivity enhancements, virtual machines, etc.
This time, I'll go back to something else entirely: GAMES!
You miss the mustachied plumber? Why not get a penguin or a blob instead? They can jump too, you know.
SuperTux is a run'n'jump game that initially wanted to imitate an early incarnation of Super Mario Bros. Milestone 1 was actually a nice attempt at recreating the experience of the first NES opus: it handled sweet, was actually fast and smooth, difficulty was scaling nicely, and the bonus islands' levels were here for those aficionados that like it hard.
Milestone 2 isn't out yet; 1.9 is, though, and it adds some stuff to SuperTux: level bosses, multi-directional scrolling, extra moves (they are here, but have no real effect yet), better interaction with environment (building blocks, wind, switches, springs, slopes...) will provide you with a few more hours of fun. It also makes use of a joypad, and it is actually better for this kind of game. Still, there are a few bugs: strange slowdowns can REALLY throw your timing out of whack... Still, it means hours of fun and level stats add a nice replay factor.
Milestone 1 was either SDL or OpenGL for graphics; further versions will require OpenGL. However, on fast systems Mesa should be able to handle it even without 3D hardware.
Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid
Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid takes place in a very... interesting world: suffice to say, you end up as Bob, a spherical, yellow, blob killing-machine (with the obligatory red bandanna). It plays pretty much like, say, Coolspot coupled with Duke Nukem 2, with simplistic animation and graphics but multiple targets, a large array of varied weapons, complex environments, and a large replay factor (if only to increase your max combo—heh).
What to say... I started playing it recently, and as such I haven't conducted a very thorough test. It is, however, complete and now only open to bug fixing. Rejoice though, since Blob Wars 2: Blob and Conquer is reaching late beta stage and adds 3D, auto target, several new enemies and much more action. I haven't tested it yet, but screenshots show it to look quite nice.
Metal Blob Solid can be played on pretty much any system; Blob and Conquer will require 3D hardware.
Gentlemen, start! Your! Engines!
Yeah, what he said. Squeeze that gas pedal dudes and dudettes!
A retake and improvement upon TuxKart, SuperTuxKart features characters from the platform game SuperTux and many more tracks than its predecessor. All in mapped 3D, it implements weapons, different capabilities for each driver, power-ups and gotchas. It is best played with analog joysticks, you can do wheelies, tracks go up and down... Mariokart on steroids.
It is, however, not perfect: sometimes the kart will be completely out of control, you can see the track "build" in front of you at some angles, the karts drivers are completely static, and physics are not perfect (it sometimes takes ages to fall down to the track and recover either acceleration or steering—or both—after a wheelie or a bump).
3D hardware required.
TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator)
Torcs is a highly realistic racing game with very nice graphics, nice sounds, very complete physics and programmable AI. It is somewhere between Need For Speed and Colin McRae Rally, as it is fun, but highly realistic—which can be a bit daunting for gamers who don't know how to handle a "real" car. At first, you will crash... a lot. You'd better get your steering wheel out of the mothballs—you'll actually drive better with it!
Requires not too old 3D hardware.
PlanetPenguin Racer
Started as TuxRacer (which then tried to turn commercial and subsequently disappeared into oblivion), PlanetPenguin Racer pushes Tux on snowy slopes; gather herrings and gain momentum, and beat your best score—or at least, manage to finish the level...
No engine here, but it doesn't mean Tux can't go fast (200kmph isn't too bad for a penguin, is it?).
3D hardware required for enjoyable play.
Do you miss Tetris? Well here, you'll get the latest in puzzle and reflex games. And let's get started with the all-time free software winner, I name...
Frozen Bubble!
I don't need to introduce it. It's been the most played game on free software systems. Winner of most (if not all) free software oriented magazines' best game awards since it came out in 2002, it has very nice music, very funny graphics, redefines "addiction" and even caters to colour blind people.
For those of you living under a rock: Frozen Bubble is basically a reimplementation of the 1994 Taito hit Puzzle Bobble, where two cute dinosaurs sent coloured bubbles onto the screen and you had to match colours so as to clean up the screen. Here it's a goofy penguin, but it's still fun.
Frozen Bubble 2 is out. Freeze your opponents over a network, enjoy remastered music, 3D generated graphisms (from the very same Ayo73 who created the first opus' pictures), new transition effects. Frozen Bubble, impeding productivity since 2002, will now saturate your network too.
And yes, you'll still love the pathetic "No!" the penguin makes when you lose.
Remember Marble Madness? What would it look like in 3D? Here's the answer: Neverball. Relaxing music, pure 3D graphics, ultimate difficulty. You use the mouse to tilt the board, and make the ball roll. Too slow, you may not jump some chasms; too fast you may go overboard. Frustrating as hell and incredibly addictive, you'd better have an "ultimate frag" mouse (or at least, a well cleaned and calibrated one) to play this delicate game.
Still looking for the amulet of Yendor? Other challenges await you sire. Choose your Quest.
Battle for Wesnoth
Turn-based strategy game taking place in the fantasy world of Wesnoth—meaning you'll get elves, sorcerers, undead and other such pleasant things, you can increase your stats on ALL the characters (if they don't get killed too soon) over the course of your missions. Reasonably difficult with a nice tutorial, nice music and nice graphics, it has reached final some time ago (meaning it's stable). Further versions add missions, characters and some engine refinements.
You don't need special hardware to run it, but still you may prefer a large screen and a hefty processor—and lots of free time.
Final Fantasy: Endless Nova
That one actually runs on Windows using RPG Maker 2000, a well-known resource set and engine for 2D adventure games. If you like Final Fantasy 1 to 6 by Square, you'll enjoy Endless Nova too—graphically it's a bit poor, but the story and battle system are innovative enough that you'll find it interesting. Music is a medley of nice MIDI retakes of various FF game musics plus a few extras.
Sadly, I haven't yet found a way to make it run under GNU/Linux...
Please note that I haven't tried to find the amulet of Yendor yet, as such I'll only mention the various Net Hack incarnations in passing—here, done :P
Mindless fraggin'
Grunt. Aim. Fire. Heh.
You liked id Software's Doom? You'll love Cube. Using a souped-up Doom-like engine (adding slopes and 3D props), it just frags. No, seriously! Best enjoyed in multiplayer, several missions are tough enough due to tricky AI and puzzling level design that you can frag alone or in groups.
Cube likes 3D hardware; it may run in software emulation mode, but I won't guarantee it.
Sauerbraten uses the Cube2 engine, which is closer to the Quake engine—on steroids too: High-range Dynamic Lighting, all 3D, pixel-shaded water effects... Some screenshots are just plain breathtaking.
The Cube engines allow in-game level editing—as such many levels look real nice due to their modifications being done in "real time" with instant testing being possible. Edit, save, frag.
Of course, for that, Cube2 requires a recent 3D card able to handle pixel shading.
Chromium B.S.U
Stressed out? In need for an adrenaline rush? Play Chromium BSU! It's a simple, OpenGL-accelerated vertical space scroller with a few twists that make it quite unique. It never ends: the single music track is brutal; graphisms are simple and efficient; it requires 3D acceleration; enemy types are few but pretty much cover the spectrum of space shooters in all its NeoGeo-like greatness.
What's so unique about it? For starters, limited ammo; only the pea-shooter (largely insufficient past level 2) is unlimited. You must not let an enemy past you (you lose a life if you do). You don't have "super" weapons, but you can self destruct (and wipe the screen clean). It is sometimes better than to waste ammo, can you imagine?
Resolutely innovating in those aspects, the game can be played again and again—even though you always eventually die.
It is recommended to play it at the end of the day after a stressful work day. Having a kitten to cuddle afterward gets rid of side effects (twitchy fingers and shaking knees notably).
One of my first articles in FSM was about GNU/Linux and games. You know what? Free gamin' keeps gettin' better.
No Nexuiz???
Nexuiz is perhaps the coolest GNU/Linux game there is right now... kinda like a totally community-developed GPL version of Unreal Tournament 2004. Anyone with an average-to-top of the line PC simply cannot ignore this great game/project!
Nope, no Nexuiz - it's
Nope, no Nexuiz - it's network only (Sauerbraten can be played by your lonesome against the computer). Too bad though, the engine looks awesome indeed.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Nexuiz can be played alone
Nexuiz can be played alone against bots!
OK, I'll give it a whirl.
I gave it a whirl. Got fragged too easily - it's been a long time since I played such a game - and then started getting the hang of it back. Still, it's essentially multiplayer.
Cube does have a little bit of story mode; for Cube2, Eisenstern will eventually turn into a RPG. Nexuiz' is a simple bot-based fragfest.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Free games and Google Summer of Code 2007
It is also nice to see several free gaming projects are taking part in Google Summer of Code 2007:
Thousand Parsec - a framework for space strategy games
BZFlag - a 3D battle tank game
ScummVM - a software to run old adventure games
Crystalspace and OGRE - 3D game engines
Thousand Parsec: never heard
Thousand Parsec: never heard of it. Seems very interesting.
BZFlag: I simply forgot to talk about it. 3D version of the very old principle of Tanks! with the added difficulty of 3D aims (thus more complex wind compensating), 'I don't care who you are it's funny right there'. On the same basic concept, as a copy of Worms, there is Wormux.
ScummVM: is actually the engine developped by LucasArts for games such as Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit the Road.
CrystalSpace: seems interesting. Ogre3D: I've seen it evolve, it is a very interesting concept which has been validated professionally. However those are engines; I've mentioned Cube and Cube2: they are engines, but they come with complete Free games.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
"ScummVM: is actually the
"ScummVM: is actually the engine developped by LucasArts for games such as Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit the Road"
Just to be clear, it's a free software reimplementation of the engine. I think some of the original developers have been surprised it works with all the games it does, as originally they kept reimplementing it rather than using the same engine for the games. It has their blessing, but not their code.
You're probably right about
You're probably right about the origins - however I don't think they reimplemented it every time, as it wouldn't make much sense business-wise and in practice. They may have improved their own source code over releases, otherwise scummvm wouldn't be so good at running all these games resources.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
I think you have another game in mind when you talk about bzflag (something called scourged earth or something?).
BZFlag is a kind of FPS-tank game and it's not at all like Wormux.
Other games worthy of a look
The following are all in active development and are in varying states of construction.
Don't overlook VDrift: this is a new racing GPL'd game which uses the same tracks as the now closed-source Racer (although sources are available for 0.5.0). Definitely one to watch.
For the realtime strategy crowd: TA Spring is a project I've watched for over a year. For those of you who lost hours to Total Annihilation, here's the remake in true 3D, complete with reflective, rippling water (for those with monster 3D cards), extreme pyro effects and thousands of units. For TA, you need to own the original but there is a GPL'd-only content mod that is worthy of a few days of play.
Wow, yummy... --- A computer

Who Do I Download These free Mags.??
Sauerbraten is proprietary software
Unfortunately, Sauerbraten isn't free (as in freedom) software as you've suggested. The game engine is, but the rest of the game isn't (see the bottom of http://sauerbraten.org/README.html). I think the same might be true for Cube, but I'm not sure. I can't find that out from the website, but in the README in the source code, it reads "Game media included in the cube game (maps, textures, sounds, models etc.)
are not covered by this license [the zlib licence], and may have individual copyrights and
distribution restrictions (see individual readmes)". I can't find any of those "individual readmes", so I can't find out if the whole game is free software.
One completely free software game I've found to very good (after trying it out in Windows) is Tremulous, though it's network-only. However, I can't play any games which require 3D acceleration on my GNU/Linux system without using any proprietary software, because there's no free driver which allows that for my graphics card.
GNU - free as in freedom
the software is using a Free
the software is using a Free license and redistributable copyrighted material, that's true - resources are not free.
As far as I know, the GPL doesn't cover well resources such as maps, graphics and sound samples - it resorts to copyright law here.
The programmers may have been afraid that some unscrupulous game maker would take the package as a whole, modify it some and then resell it, that the GPL wouldn't protect them in that case, and copyright couldn't be enforced.
It is noted though that you can add stuff pretty much at will, and that there is a possibility of getting authors' authorisation to modify the resources.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Using the GPL for the "game media"
I don't think there's a particularly big problem in using the GPL for the "game media" such as artwork and sounds. There's something about this on the GNU website at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLOtherThanSoftware. If anything, I think it might be too restrictive or confusing for the user, because of the "source code" requirements, rather than allowing people to circumvent the copyleft provisions. I think the game media of most GPL'd or LGPL'd games is under the same licence as the rest of the game. The non-software parts could also be put under a free licence which is more appropriate for them, for example, the media for Tremulous is all under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Licence.
It's true that you can distribute the game media for Sauerbraten, and you can get the copyright holder's permission to distribute modified versions (as you can with all copyrighted material), but that doesn't mean it's free as in freedom. Although it's strictly not software, it's an integral part of the game, and it's needed to play it, so I don't think the game should be described as free software. I definitely agree that the game engine is free software though.
GNU - free as in freedom
What about Scorched 3D?
Scorched 3D is pretty cool. Check it out!
Yup, I tried it - it's just
Yup, I tried it - it's just plain fun, but it's been a while and I need to test its most recent version.
I must however admit to not enjoying this kind of game a lot, and I wouldn't play it very often.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Flightgear Flight simulator
One of the games that really got me into linux was that I could run a flight sim.
http://www.flightgear.org/ Flightgear is very realistic and I would say great if you want to learn properly.
It is not an arcade game, so you need to earn your wings, but it really is a cool game.
It's a teeny tiny bit off topic
...which is why I hadn't included it (I almost removed TORCS from the review because of it): FlightGear is a beautiful, extremely realistic, very complete flight simulator. It is, in fact, not really a game.
Which doesn't mean it isn't fun - it really is, as a matter of fact.
Edit: tried latest version. It really IS a simulator. Don't play it without a fine joystick, it requires very precise handling.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Space sims
On the subject of simulators: you really should try VegaStrike and its spinoffs:
- Vegastrike
- The full universe simulator, or rather a framework for sim games
- Privateer remake
- For all lovers of that fantastic early 90's game
- VegaTrek
- Trekkies unite...
Excellent graphics and playability even on modest hardware. 3D card required, joystick highly recommended but not necessary
wok, n.: Something to thwow at a wabbit.
Thanks for the freebies
Have had a great time today playing most of these free games, my favorite was SuprTux but I look forward to trying them all one day when I have more time to play games.
Don't forget Tremulous, an excellent FPS!
What do you prefer? Aliens or humans??? :-)

Driver wrecks after hitting gas instead of brake
Published: Friday, November 8, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 6:17 p.m.
Rescue workers were called to a wreck at about 4 p.m. Thursday at Laurel Park Village shopping center after a woman mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.
A woman driving a Lexus got in her vehicle in the parking lot, accidentally stepped on the gas pedal, went over two medians and ended up on top of a Toyota, said Lt. G.R. Mullen with the Laurel Park Police Department.
No one was in the Toyota at the time of the wreck. The driver of the Lexus suffered non-life-threatening injuries. No further information was available.

Caroline Harrison First Spouse Gold Coin
First Lady, 1889—1892
Caroline Lavinia Scott Harrison was born October 1, 1832, in Oxford, Ohio. She enjoyed painting for recreation, including china painting, which became one of her passions when she taught ceramic painting at her church. Along with her German teacher, Paul Putzki, she taught china painting classes. The classes were made up of Washington wives and daughters. She painted a "White House Orchid" with water colors and dedicated it to "mothers, wives, and daughters of America." She decorated White House candlesticks, milk sets, platters and other pieces, as well as those owned by women in Washington wanting a White House memento. Her signature was a tiny four-leaf clover.
As first lady, Caroline Harrison began the effort to organize pieces of past Presidential china still in the White House into a systematic collection for later display. She uncovered, identified and tagged china, grouping pieces together for eventual public display. She had a china cabinet made to display all past Presidential china she found.

UNDP procures goods and services by soliciting bids through a competitive process. The following methods are used for the procurement of goods and services:
Request for Quotation (RFQ)
This is the most flexible and the least formal method that is used for procuring goods, services and/or works. RFQs call for a written quotation.
RFQ applies to contracts exceeding US$2,500 but less than US$100,000
Invitation to Bid (ITB)
An ITB is normally used when an entity is not required to propose technical approaches to a project activity, or to offer management or supervision of an activity. ITBs are used when an entity has to provide its cost requirements to meet precise specifications sought from UNDP. This is normally the case when UNDP buys goods. It may also apply to work contracts and services that can be expressed quantitatively and qualitatively.
ITB applies to contracts exceeding US$100,000.
Request for Proposal (RFP)
RFP is used when the inputs and/or outputs cannot be quantitatively and qualitatively expressed at the time the invitation is made, for example, consulting or similar services. An RFP may also be used for the purchase of complex goods when one is not sure of the functional specifications and wishes to seek proposals.
RFP applies to contracts exceeding US$100,000.00.

Money has no meaning. What is money? Put money in a bowl and drizzle with milk and granola for a tasty healthy treat: the New York Times says Candy Crush's parent company will seek a $7.6 billion IPO.
As a reminder, the business success of Candy Crush has been based entirely on the willingness of people to buy $0.99 boosts in a smartphone game to which they are temporarily addicted. Previous attempts at building a public company on the back of a gaming fad have not panned out well.

Tesla Motors (TSLA) Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said the electric-car maker intends to add factories in Europe and Asia, anticipating volume gains from a planned mass-market battery car.
The company this year plans to make at least 21,000 of its $70,000 Model S sedans at its Fremont plant, and double that in 2014. While the factory has capacity to produce as many as 500,000 vehicles a year, the addition of a smaller electric car priced about half that of Model S will require additional plants, Musk said.
"We'll try to locate those close to where people are, close to where the customers are, to minimize the logistics costs of getting the car to them," the Tesla co-founder said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's Betty Liu. "I think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia."
Tesla has been an automotive phenomenon this year, with its shares surging more than fourfold and its market value exceeding some established carmakers such as Fiat, the majority owner of Chrysler Group. The Palo Alto-based company reported its first profitable quarters this year, excluding some items, and has seen demand for the Model S outstrip its ability to build the car.
Among the company's accolades, Model S was named 2013 "Car of the Year" by Motor Trend magazine; Consumer Reports magazine in a May review rated it among the best it's ever tested; and this week Tesla said it received top crash and safety ratings in tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Musk provided no details on how much or when Tesla would invest in more factories. The company has opened a small facility in Tilburg, Netherlands, where it's assembling Model S components shipped from California to Europe, for cars it's begun selling there.
While Tesla's next vehicle, the Model X electric sport-utility vehicle, goes into production in Fremont late next year, the timing of the smaller, lower-priced vehicle, isn't firm.
"Certainly, within five years we'll have our mass-market electric car available," Musk told Liu, who is also a correspondent for ABC News. "We'll start seeing hundreds of thousands of electric cars going to market every year."
Musk, in previous interviews, has said the lower-priced car would arrive in about three or four years.
Tesla shares fell 1.1 percent to $147.86 in Wednesday's trading. The shares have surged 337 percent this year, compared with a 16 percent increase for the Russell 1000 Index.

Tulane University's PEP Department is undergoing a major expansion in the area of materials science and engineering. More »
A new undergraduate program will allow Tulane students to earn dual degrees in physics and engineering. More »
Allowing students to study polymers in collaboration with professors and private companies. More »
At Tulane University our students have a unique opportunity to combine understanding of science and engineering both in our courses and degrees. Alongside our longstanding Physics Program (science) established in 1895, we added an undergraduate Engineering Physics Program (engineering) in 2006. Students can be more marketable with the dual experience available in both of these degree programs.
The number of undergraduate students in our traditional Physics Program has doubled since hurricane Katrina (2005). Our new Engineering Physics Program has rapidly grown to about the same number of students as in Physics with a total of 15-20 Physics majors plus 15-20 Engineering Physics majors in each of the recent incoming classes. Both teaching and research in our department are experiencing exciting growth. We intend to add a new PhD Program in Materials Engineering soon to our Physics PhD Program, established half a century ago. Our goal is to find new and effective ways to expand and integrate cutting edge science and technology to meet the growing needs of widening interdisciplinary global challenges, and to provide our graduates with the advantage of this enhanced experience.
Whether you are a student contemplating an undergraduate program, a prospective graduate student, a scientist interested in postdoctoral or faculty positions, or simply browsing our website we invite you to you visit us here in New Orleans and perhaps join our unique Physics and Engineering Physics (PEP) team here at Tulane University.

About the Book
"Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth." —Alec Baldwin
An acclaimed comedic actress and writer, former Oprah regular, wife of political and media star George Stephanopoulos, and a mother who lets her two girls eat cotton candy before bed, Ali Wentworth rebelled against her blue-blood upbringing, embracing Hollywood, motorcycles, even a few wildly inappropriate marriage proposals. In Ali in Wonderland, she takes us through the looking glass: from a childhood among Washington's elite and a stint in a New England prep school to her days doing L.A. sketch comedy alongside Will Ferrell and Lisa Kudrow. Constant throughout is her mother, Muffie, a flawlessly elegant, no-nonsense force of nature and pure WASP convictions. As charming and off-the-wall as Ali herself, her acclaimed memoir is a delightful look at life that is both intimate and uproarious.

Wednesday September 19, 2012
Waynesboro, Ga--Big games are made for big players and while Burke County's Donquell Green isn't the biggest in stature, he certainly has become the captain of the Burke County ship. This past Friday night, Green and the Bears struck gold earning him our Academy Sports and Outdoors player of the week.
The junior quarterback has certainly taken over the leadership role and has played it to a tee. When the final horn sounded, green had 214 yards rushing, 113 passing and scored all five of their touchdowns in beating class 6-A foe Coffee. Green has walked the plank before in big games and had no problem weathering the storm and shining bright in his first full yeat at quarterback.
"It's a big deal" said Donquell Green "I'm not use to it but I'm getting better at it. Throwing the ball wise, I had Corey Mayton and I backed him up and now I have to step up, grow up, be a leader. Coach's look out for me to do it and so do my players"
"I think it's the "IT" factor" said coach Eric Parker "I've been coaching now for 23 years and some guys have it and some guys don't. You know, Donquell is one of those blessed people that we have. And he has great work habits and a great attitude to go with it."
This is Green's first year as full time quarterback as he's taken that role over from Corey Mayton. He readily admits he's still getting better as a passer but has become a legit dual threat for the Bears

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people who do not have current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
All pregnant women are screened for factors that may increase their risk of preterm labor. For women at low risk of preterm labor, there are no recommendations for further screening.
The benefit of screening high-risk women for preterm labor is controversial. Some methods of screening for preterm labor that may be used to screen high-risk women include:
A structured list of risk factors can be checked at the first prenatal visit and later in pregnancy. A risk score can be determined for preterm delivery.
In order for risk identification to be helpful, it must be combined with a program to modify any risk factors that can be modified. These programs are usually community-based. Examples include the Alabama Preterm Birth Prevention Project, the Better Birth Outcomes trials, and other community-based initiatives.
During a pelvic exam, your doctor may swab your cervix to test for fetal fibronectin (fFN). fFN acts as a glue to attach the amniotic sac to the lining of the uterus. It is normal for fFN to be in cervical secretions for the first 22 weeks of pregnancy. However, if fFN is present in the outer cervix beyond weeks 22-34, this glue may be breaking down earlier than it should. fFN may be a sign of impending preterm labor.
The presence of fFN (positive test result) is not a good predictor of whether you are at risk of preterm birth. However, the absence of fFN (negative test result) is a good predictor that you are not at risk of a preterm birth at this time. Your pregnancy is likely to continue for at least another two weeks.
At the first prenatal visit, your doctor may measure your cervix using an ultrasound. During pregnancy, your cervix is monitored for changes. If your cervix is getting shorter, that means it is beginning to efface. This places you at higher risk for preterm delivery.

The best drivers easily grow tired of the "idiots" they see on roads every
day. Many develop road rage
by giving in to their own frustration.
The only problem with giving in to road
rage is that it can often get you into a lot of trouble. Others can
be just as enraged as you are, and their reaction to you may be down right dangerous. This can easily happen by almost changing lanes when someone is in your blind spot, or any number unintentional actions that can be viewed as intentional by someone else.
You should always avoid road rage.
Back off and calm down. This is hard for some people. Like bad weather, stupid drivers are just part of the environment. Still, it would be nice
to let them know how you feel, without endangering yourself or the general public.
Don't give in to road rage.
Avoid legal trouble and doing things you'll later regret. Don't get mad, get even! You came to the right place. Here at the RoadRagers.com

Versatile Florida athlete commits to Wofford football
Robinson, who played quarterback at DeLand High, may turn into a cornerback for the Terriers
Published: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 7:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 7:15 p.m.
DELAND, Fla. — DeLand High quarterback Coleton Robinson has verbally committed to Wofford College.
"(Wofford) is awesome," Robinson said. "The campus is beautiful. Everything about it is nice."
Robinson (6-foot, 175 pounds) accounted for 1,884 yards — 1,486 passing, 398 rushing — and nine touchdowns for DeLand in 2012. He said Wofford, which went 9-4 and went to the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2012, was his only offer.
Despite his offensive output for the Bulldogs this season, Robinson said the Terriers want him to play cornerback.
"Wherever they think is best," he said. "I am going to try to get myself on the field no matter where I'm at."
Al Manning, DeLand's interim head coach in 2012, said he believes Robinson will excel no matter where the Terriers put him.
"He did such a great job for us," Manning said. "He really kind of stepped it up and did well at quarterback. I'm happy for him.
"He is able to play a number of positions. He could play H-back or quarterback in (the Terriers' triple-option offense). But I think they want him as a defensive back, and he should be good there. There are a number of things he can do as an athlete."
Verbal commitments from athletes and verbal offers from colleges are non-binding agreements. National Signing Day (Feb. 6) is the first day that senior high school football players can make their college decisions official by signing a binding letter of intent.

Busy hurricane season predicted
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 7:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 11:19 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS - Forecasters at Colorado State University are predicting an above-average to extremely active Atlantic hurricane season, in part because of a lack of warm equatorial Pacific water temperatures that could depress activity.
The early outlook by renowned climatologist Bill Gray does not yet provide a prediction for the number of named storms and hurricanes. His comments represent a preview of what he is expected to say Thursday at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans.
"I expect we're going to come out with a busy forecast for this year," Gray told the Herald-Tribune on Tuesday.
On average from 1981 to 2010, hurricane seasons have brought a total of 16 named tropical storms, with five growing into stronger hurricanes.
Gray's forecast comes as emergency managers reel from the 2012 season, which turned out to have more storms than expected. Major events included Hurricane Isaac, which flooded metropolitan New Orleans, and Hurricane Sandy, which devastated parts of the Northeast coastline, including New York City.
A total of 19 named storms formed in 2012, eight more than the historic average. The year tied 2010 and 2011 for the third-busiest season on record.
In December, Gray and colleague Philip Klotzbach predicted a 40 percent chance that the 2013 hurricane season would be "above average," with a 20 percent chance it be "extremely active."
"We're now somewhere in between," Gray said. "We're looking for an above-average year."
The forecasters, based in Fort Collins, Colo., plan to provide a more detailed forecast April 10.
The official hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
