Making audio work on a Steam Link and a Mac
I could just turn the volume up really high and listen through the ceiling.

How I hate PC gaming
Ten years ago, I used to play quite a lot of PC games. Sim City, Tony Hawk, GTA, Rollcage, Half Life. Some of the Tomb Raiders and things like NOX too. I forget the rest. The last PC game I really sank any time into was Anarchy Online, back in 2005. Even that I didn’t play for long. Aside from brief prod at the Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst demo, that was the end of my PC gaming. There were …
Gameking – Unleash the Games!
<< Previous (The Gameking) Gameking Games Readers without short-term memory problems will recall that I bought 13 games to go with my Gameking. Each and every one is special in its own special way. Special as in “special needs”, naturally. Firstly, a few points about Gameking games. The cartridges are strikingly familiar to anyone who has ever played on a Game Boy, since they’re exactly the same as Game Boy cartridges. Almost, anyway – instead of “Game Boy” they say …
D.I.Woe.
Although I’m a remarkably fantastic individual in pretty much every area, there’s one thing that I’m really not the best there is at. DIY. I try. I really do. But things just don’t always work. Take last night’s surround sound speaker setup for instance. I’ve got four speakers to hang on the wall, one in each corner of the room. Running cables was easy – the carpet lifts up and there’s space between the grip rods and the skirting boards. …
Finally! A working Adobe CS3 install script!
After what seems like a year of aborted attempts, this week I’ve made a concerted effort to deploy Adobe CS3 Design Premium on our XP network. This morning, I was successful! There were several problems to overcome, including lack of MSIs, inability to “roll your own” MSI due to the Adobe Licencing Service throwing a wobbly if you do, inserting the serial number, forcing it to install on machines with under a gig of RAM, coping with the sheer size …
Dell Inspiron Mini 9 shinyness
Our batch of new Inspiron Minis arrived at work today. And very, very lovely (and shiny) they are too. Strange quirks include no F-keys (there are replacements via the Fn button and home row) and some difficulty getting sound drivers working when replacing XP Home with XP Pro, but they’re working now and run pretty fast and cool. Some obligatory pictures: Things of note: The Mini is almost the same size as the 701, only very slightly longer and slightly …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
Well, that’s all the cars nicked for Stevie – all 30 of them. One was a little tricky as it was parking in a police station car park – next to a policeman. Managed to escape having shot the cop before stealing the car though. And then it was on to races for Brucie. Could I find a decent car anywhere though? No . So I turned up in this rubbish Mondeo-alike only to find a starting lineup of Infernuses. …
SyncMate upgrade problems
After upgrading to v1.2 (v1.2.0.325, in fact) of SyncMate, my Vario II (Windows Mobile 5 phone) decided it no longer wanted to talk to my Mac. Either of my Macs, in fact. I kept getting the message “Can’t start driver, error 2”. The “fix” suggested (deleting some files on the Vario II, reinstalling the driver, etc. – see thread here) then prevented the Vario II from talking to ActiveSync on my PC at work too. An uninstall of v1.2 on …
This Week’s Roundup (360/Wii)
Another busy week (it was my birthday!) so I’ve got a bit of catching up to do. Wii Fit (Wii)Haven’t played this much since Tuesday, but did fit in a couple of sessions in the week. Mainly just played step and ski jump, though. Link’s Crossbow Training (Wii)Excellent! I got this for my birthday, which was pretty amazing in itself since it’s impossible to buy pretty much everywhere. It’s pretty simplistic (it is basically “just” a lightgun game) but is …
