  1. Finally, finally, finally, after more than 16 months of looking for a publisher, implementing requested changes, and polishing the formatting (and a little bit of procrastinating), my first scholarly article has been published!

  3. Today I discovered that there is a 1980s Greydon Clark movie, starring Joe Don Baker [1], which has not been riffed by RiffTrax (or MST3K, or Cinematic Titanic), and I'm frankly shocked.

    If it's not one of the four new episodes of MST3K the RiffTrax guys are doing, I'm going to be some disappointed.

    [1] The same #cinematic pairing that resulted in Final Justice (1985), A.K.A. "Mitchell Goes to Malta", some of the finest #cheese ever #riffed.

  8. Turns out my PC was too recent to play nice with a PCI Sound blaster game port; older Dell with Debian 12 and janky setup to the rescue. I managed to successfully test all 5 analog joysticks and half the gamepads at least as two button game controllers.

  13. Okay, I have two PCI SoundBlaster cards with a gameport - both cards work fine as sound cards on Ubuntu 24.04, but no success using a joystick on the gameport.

    Anyone know of a live usb Linux distro version that supports the legacy gameport? Preferably something that is less than 15 years old. Only doing this to test old joysticks/gamepads so it doesn't have to be good at anything else.

    Thank you.

    Edit: please only answer if you have personal experience with the above (PC gameport controllers on Linux); looking up possible solutions on search engines and testing them out is something I've already done, which is why I'm asking here.
