geek karma

so i finally talked to the man himself — mandrake, one of the guys who coded enlightenment, the window manager that got me to switch to linux in the first place. he’s been posting about PlanetSide and Star Wars Galaxies on his site so i emailed him and asked what character and server he was playing on (and also confessed that i was using KDE now, heh). he replied back, and also mentioned some bugs he found, including a nasty crash bug. i said that these issues were already known, and then i did a little tech support and made sure that he was running the latest drivers and all that. as someone in a QA position, it’s not technically my job to do that, but on a personal level, i feel like it’s the least i can do — i used enlightenment for about 2 years, and even converted a few geeks when they saw my E desktop running, so i’d be glad if i can help resolve those game issues.
