I was sent a Wii SD Card this week (actually, three), and last night got to try one out. So, here is a review. Yes, a review of a piece of plastic and silicon the size of a postage stamp! Amazing. The first thing you’ll notice is that, unlike most SD cards, the SanDisk for Wii card is white. Like the Wii. Little known fact: the Wii itself, its power supply, the SD card shaped. Check yours – I’m right! …
Apparently, there’s some sort of football tournament on at the moment. Quite a big one too. I wouldn’t know. However, the fact that it’s on, and some of the games are on during the working day, causes a few problems in that staff at work want to watch them. And they don’t have teevees. Me to the rescue then, with this motley crew of software and devices: An Elgato EyeTV 410 A PowerMac G5 VLC The VLC Plugin for EyeTV …
If you too were shocked and horrified at the awful Bingification of Google today, here’s how to fix it. Which you’ll want to do. I mean, just look at it: First, click “Add your own background image now”, and upload this suitably sized blank image. Set that as your background, Bing and You’re Done(TM). Phew, eh?
Inspired by the FANTASTIC piggy I drew earlier, I decided to have a look for the previous “pixel art” I’d done about 12 years ago on the Amiga. I shouldn’t have bothered – they were far worse to look at than I remembered. There was a system on the Amiga for higher quality (than standard) icons for programs, games, files and folders called NewIcons. I’d installed it on my Amiga, but couldn’t find icons for a few things. So I …
May have a few dents and scratches, otherwise in good condition. Sort of. Posted via email from deKay’s posterous
Well, would you look at that! I actually have some sort of usable internet connection! After a month of virtually nothing! It’s the most exciting day ever.
Just look at this! It’s AMAZING! You know the OneStation handheld Famiclone? What do you mean “no”? I wrote about it right here! This, the “Digital Dragon System”, is actually just another OneStation. It even says “OneStation” on it. But it’s a different shape! And! It has 999 games built in! And! The cartridges are a different shape! Gasp!! Other than that, it’s the same thing. A poor quality handheld Famiclone with fewer than advertised games (they’re almost all duplicates) …
I am programming a version of Duncan MacDonald’s seminal Spectrum classic Advanced Lawnmower Simulator for the Amstrad NC100 “Notepad Computer”. Yeah, and NC100. Who needs an iPad, eh? (Answer: Me). Here’s the “game” in its current state!
Can’t upgrade the Active Directory Schema until I make the server a domain controller. Can’t make the server a domain controller until I upgrade the schema. What.
I gone done made a persona (that’s a skin theme thing) for Firefox today. Featuring the squad from Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! for the Nintendo DS. Yes, the persona is a bit pants. No, you don’t have to like it. Yes, it did only take five minutes. You can click here to get it. If you want.
Today, the Digital Economy Bill was passed in parliament. I’d not read into it much, but lots of people seemed to be getting very angry about it. As far as I was aware this morning, it was a new law made to kick people off the internet if they use it to illegally download stuff. So on Twitter, I said this: Am I missing something regarding the #debill, or are people complaining that they might get punished for breaking the …
It’s Microsoft’s answer to the iPhone’s App Store, on Microsoft’s answer to the iPhone. On a boat. On a canal.
Later this year, we’ll be migrating Microsoft Exchange 2003 over to 2007. Apparently, this isn’t technically a migration but is instead a transition. Something to do with moving and upgrading the same product, rather than changing from another product (like Lotus Notes or something, presumably). Semantics, eh? Tch. This task is one fraught with peril at every turn, so requires a bit of planning and testing. The first issue is that Exchange 2007 only runs on a 64-bit version of …
Apparently, in Windows 7, there’s no Quick Launch toolbar. So exactly what is this on my machine?
