The Shed

Well, I’m about done, really. Just going to install some apps. Here are 3 of my favourites.

1. Eclipse: A great multi-purpose programming platform. Install it from the Add/Remove tool, or manually for the latest version.
2. Battle for Wesnoth: An awesome turn-based strategy with a fantasy theme and playable campaigns.
3. Blender: A 3d modelling program. WARNING: This program appears to have a seriously fucked up user interface when you first use it (I couldn’t even figure out how to close it - had to hard-shutdown my computer). But if you put in the effort to learn it (there are websites out there to help) it quite quickly burns itself into your neural pathways until it becomes intuitive, to the point where you find yourself trying to use its features in other programs.
