Pizzasgood

Hey, I'm Pizzasgood. My hobbies include biking, reading, video games, programming, web development, drawing, attempting to create music, and tweaking stuff. I consider programming to be fun, and consider IE to stand for "Inherently Evil." I grew up on a farm, don't trust computers any more than weathermen, think cars should still have fins, and have broken speed limits on a bicycle. I'll laugh at myself before I'll laugh at you, and I don't mind jokes about anything as long as they're funny. If I could wear a baseball cap at all times I would. I've been known to rap about cheesecake and calculators. Most of all, I just have fun. (I have also been rumored to have ADHD, but in reality, everyone else is just slow and overly patient.)

My website is http://www.browserloadofcoolness.com/∞

Note: I'm in college and very busy, so don't expect things to happen quickly.

Pizza's FAQs
Questions I seem to answer a lot. These are "notes" jotted down so I don't forget them. I will eventually set up a full blown page including more elaborated answers.
Q: WTF? Where is the desktop folder? Now where do I download all my crap to?
Q: WTF? I just dragged a bunch of crap onto the desktop from a CD, but when I took out the CD they turned into errors!!! You sux0rs d00d!
A: There is no desktop folder. Puppy's desktop is actually just a text file (XML, technically) located at /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin. Ever desktop icon is just a line of text in there, containing the icon to use, the position, the text to display, and the path to the actual file. So you can't actually put something in the desktop, only a link to it. The best way to visualize it is to consider all desktop icons to be shortcuts.
If you need somewhere to download files to, the general location would be /root, which in Puppy is your "home" folder. In multi-user distros it would be /home/<username>, but Puppy usually uses Root by default, so our home folder is /root. Don't put anything massive there though, unless you have a Full-HD install or a big honking save-file. Put big things on the harddrive itself, outside the save-file (the partition with the save-file will be at /mnt/home/).

Q: Puppy's cool, but I want to strip it down. How do I remove things?
A: You could just use one of the many mini-Puppy derivatives out there, but if you have good reasons for wanting to do it yourself (I don't blame you, DIY is fun) you'll need to learn something about how Puppy works. Unless you have a Full-HD install, .....blah blah blah (I'll finish this later)
