I was convinced that my integrated webcam wasn't supported by ubuntu, and had spent ages fruitlessly searching for information on where to find drivers.

After a week, I have just realised that I had no software installed, and one quick sudo apt-get install cheese later, we have my ugly mug staring back at me from the laptop. I was tearing my hair out trying to find those drivers!

I hate it when that kind of thing happens.

I was writting a C++ program for school, and I spent 2 hours trying to figure out what was going wrong with it, then I realized I accidentally did this:

variable++;
<block of code>
variable++;

Damn it! How could I not realize I incremented it twice?

"Cheese" hasn't done much for my Logitech 4000 Cam which appears to be intermittently supported here and there. Some have figured out how to make it work through rather complicated Configuration Procedures.
