I’m relasing my Talk 2 Me app.
What I does is it opens a console panel and you can ask it phrases and it will respond.
Talk 2 Me Command Window.
Talk2Me_1.9.rar – Download Link
Some Exclusive Commands that can be used:
command:cls = clears the screen
command:exit = exits Talk 2 Me.
command:edit = opens C:\Phrase.ini for editing
And some more good news. Its open source. I have included source code for purebasic 4.10 in the .rar file.
Enjoy
Today I have done some research on the frame rates in Crysis.
I did I comparison with Crysis on Windows XP and Windows 7 to see how the frame rate differs.
Download the PDF file with all of my results.
It includes graphs and tables.
This link is the savegame file I used while I was testing the frame rates with: r_displayinfo = 1 command in the ingame console window. I was standing in the exact same postion without even moving the aimer to a different postion throughout the whole of the frame rate measurements.
XP Framerates
Windows 7 Framrates

Finally, I chnaged my email address to Gmail.
I have to admit it was such a pain, first I had to remember that I had an account on Gmail, I first tried the tools provided by Google Gmail themselves. The importing tools didn’t work and after looking over the internet (oh wonderful internet) I found a solution, -it didn’t work. The mail and contact importer kept asking me for my correct password. I entered it in about 30 times it just continued prompting me that the POP3 server didn’t find a match to my email and password.
I then manually exported my contacts and imported them into Gmail, that worked. But the mail bit I was still very stuck in. I have (had) 177 messages but I painfully had to minimise the number to 5. ‘Woo’, just think about it: 177 to 5 messages… anyways, I ended up just forwarding my most valuable messages to the new email address.
I recieved them and opened them so that Gmail didn’t keep thinking that I still have 5 unread messages left in my Inbox!
At last I finished and customized my iGoogle home page. I’m using the ‘World of Warcraft’ theme. lol!
I got my XBox 360 controller on the 31/12/08 and for people wondering I don’t have an Xbox or an Xbox 360 so I didn’t use an Xbox as an extender.
What I did was first I bought a combo that had in one box a controller and a PC compatible Recevier to connect the Wireless Controller to my Computer.
Then I found a program called Xpadder which allowed me to make a loadable profile of remapped keys.
Heres how I maped my keys:
I used Xpadder to map all the keys and it works great!
download Xpadder: http://download.softpedia.com/dl/27b7b9ea3e1caf6ead390ec42656e665/495d6187/100045445/software/system/Xpadder5-3.zip
enjoy!!
Well first thing I have to say I that I haven’t been on my blog for a long while, mainly building computers, testing games and striping DVD players clean of life.
But now I have found gOS and decided to take look. And when I did take a look I found I quite nice and simple, and like many OSs from third party sources they are all based a Linux source code. When I burnt myself a CD of gOS and tried it in a computer that I found and the street just standing there doing nothing. So I thought that maybe I should have a go. Along with that I also took another 2 MOBOs (Mother Boards), and found in the pile a Pentium 4 chip in brilliant condition as well as many other sticks of RAM that 4 of them were already nicely Metal Plated.
So back to the main thing, gOS. I put into the extremely old computer and made sure that BIOS was set to boot from CD. And the painfully slow the computer that had the near specs of the Minimun Requirements stated on gOS homepage.So I got a bit disapointed that gOS din’t run so well on the computer of the street but hey, it’s of the street and we din’t have that much RAM.
Apart from that gOS looks really nice a seems very stable. It has a range of themes (4 Pre-Installed) and UI looks very snapy on the faster computers.
Just for people who are interested on the specs for what gOS is better of with here is below:
Computer of the Street: (Not Recommend (unless you have the will to wait))
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1.1GHz
RAM: Access 266MB
MOBO: Unknown (if I find out I will edit here)
Power Brick: CODEGEN 350WAT
Floppy: SONY MPF920-E
HDD: Seagate 10GB
Required:
Much Better then that!
I typed the post with gOS and I must say you should try it and you can play with without touching any of your HDD data. (Just make sure you have at least 1GB to 2GB of RAM)
Well thats it, THANKS FOR READING
Hey everybody me and my dad have been working on a adapter that we made customly by ourselves together, yesterday and today and we have been doing soldering with our soldering iron and trust me it’s not as easy a it looks. We’ve completed it but it still dosen’t on the outside because well we’re not experts who take all the time to make custom plastics for the style and design anyway why would we bother.When my dad bought SCART input from a shop it wasn’t made for what we were doing in our project it doesn’t a little bit for extra wires and components so we put aside the plastic cover for now and left it how it is .
The things that are hard when building your own VGA to SCART cable/adapter is that you have to the programs that allow you to set the correct resolution for your television. Now in the common days companies make most of there televisions with VGA and DVI inputs on the back so some people who use their computers as recoding machines so they can capture HD Movies fun free the only price to pay is the the logo of the channel in the corner of the scree, but if you don’t pay much attention to it’s going to seem to you as if you have the real thing.
One of the programs you need if you are making a custom VGA to SCART cable/adapter is a program called Power Strip which is avalible for download but requires registration to use and there is no such thing known a trial period to this program so you have to register the program.
You mush be getting really bored reading this long posy so I’ll start finishing this postfor yor sake.
If your going to make your own VGA to SCART cable thats great because we did it and we are happing people for now! See ya
