For years I have thought the third-party 360 controller receiver that I bought on Amazon was just junk. Then I found out it works flawlessly on Linux.

JUST TODAY I found out you can manually install the driver on Windows. Not the 10.x driver from this year, but the 2.x driver from 2009.

- Open "Device Manager" (if it still exists at the time of reading)
- The "Other devices" section should be auto-expanded
- Right click "Unknown device" if you don't see anything else corresponding to your adapter.
- Select "Update driver"
- DO NOT SELECT "Search automatically for drivers". That will fail every time
- Select "Browse my computer for drivers" and then "Let me pick from a list of available drivers" and then under "Xbox 360 Peripherals" select the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version: 2.1.0.1349 [8/13/2009]"

GAME ON!

Programmer looking for work

I just moved instances but I'm still looking for work!

I need a job. I'm willing to relocate anywhere trans-friendly, or work remotely (but my current home internet is not reliable).

I understand several programming languages, and can use #Java and #Kotlin fluently. I also dabble in HTML and CSS, but my JavaScript skills are lacking.
I'm right at home in any Jetbrains IDE + #Git environment, but I can also make do with other editors. Other source control may not be so easy for me to learn.
My GitHub and personal website are linked in my bio. I contribute to open source projects regularly.

My highest formal education is a GED.
I've worked professionally in the past as a video game tester, a grocery bagger, a home mover, and a car lot attendant.

Please email me at caroline@halotroop.com with any serious offers.

Thank you.
