It's official, I have finally migrated completely over to Linux. Ubuntu, to be specific. I bought a Shuttle KPC for about $450, and fanagled Ubuntu on there after a few days of pulling my hair out. But it works now.
The implication of this is that I need to re-implement my geiger counter software. My old software was a windows program, and read the data from the geiger counter, and updated the site every 8 seconds with the new CPM. I have to re-implement the software in Linux now... so until I can do that, the geiger game will be a little useless :-P.
Maybe I'll keep my windows machine up and running, just to keep the game active, while I settle into programming on Linux.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up! :-)

Sounds awesome! I was wondering, how about just using a windows emulator with your software (maybe wine ect). Possibly with some simple configuration it will work well. Good luck!!!
