Flash on Ubuntu 11.10

Quick answer: I found the Flash-Aid Firefox addon the solution to my initial troubles to get flash working uniformly on Firefox on my Ubuntu 11.10 system.

Thanks to the askubuntu stackexchange site for giving me this tip. (and while I’m at it, thanks to the superuser stackexchange site for helping me fix some problems with my parents’ machine).

Now to get the whole setup working with Tor. With the Masters starting this weekend, perhaps that will provide the necessary impetus.
