getting slack with the posts
For those who actually read this page, sorry bout the lack of posting lately. Over a month since the last one is a bit slack wasn’t it?!
*bows head in shame*
Nonetheless there’s been lots happening. Working hard as usual *sighs*. Had a brand new Topower PSU have a wobbly on me (5v rail kept fluctuating below 4v) got the new hardware set up so I’m running an Asus A7V333 board with 512Mb of PC2700 Corsair ram (eek! need to get back to my normal 1Gb ram *very* soon). Also as part of my hardware upgrade I got an Asus Geforce 4 Ti4600 card which simply kicks some serious arse!
Chose the GF4 over an ATI due the extreme lack of support for ATI drivers for both win32 and linux. Very nasty stuff that should be kept very clear away from.
Also got another 19″ monitor, a Philips 109P that is hanging off the Ti4600 as well as my old LG 19″ monitor off the DVI port (via DVI - VGA converter) so I have the Dual Monitor thing happening again! I can’t believe I went back to single displays, it really *really* sucks. Dual displays rawk! Currently my resolution under linux is 3200×1200.
Been playing with alsa, mplayer and dvi::rip of which all have a corresponding howto in the making. They should soon be up in the howto section once I get them completed.
I know I shouldn’t say it, but I will anyway. myrddin.org v2 IS getting there. I got stuck into it a fair bit last weekend (or was the wekend before? *shrugs*). Got a few things to fix up, like the displaying of images/thumbnails which Jack (fiance’s lil bro) has offered to gimme a hand with (he says he’s bored and wanted something to do so hey! why not? :P) and I also have to finish the way I am going to get the updating of the screenshots to work in the backend. Everything else is pretty much ready. Oh, ‘cept for the v2 logo, I have a few ideas, I just gotta coerce Gimp to do what I want it to do. hehe
