PC Upgrade !

New memories arrived at my door today !
4x1GB DDR2 1066 mhz , Kingston HyperX !!

Here they are, I already installed them in the pc ( you can see the metallic things near the CPU cooler) :

Here are the old rams :

Those were 2x1 GB Corsair Twin DDR2 800 mhz, Enhaced Performance Profile.

I think I'm going to keep them for now, in the current month I'll run my pc with the new memories to see if I get BSODs ( with the corsair ones I never had) . But after that, over the summer I'll sell them ( I only used them half a year) , add some money and get a new motherboard with an E8400 or E8500. Or maybe keep the money for the next 2-3 years and build a Nehalem platform

[EDIT] Who tells me the correct total numbers of cooling fans from my computer wins the Eagle Eye Award

My exploration in the electic Universe is on-going.
But I dislike theory, I only learn it when it helps me do practical things, because I love DIY and practice.

I made a speaker, and it turned out I put too few wires in the coil, so this is a prototype. Also, the magnets were kinda weak, so if I find somewhere some neodymium magnets I'll buy some and use those, they're very strong.

HDD ACTIVITY LEDS !

I was totally bored so I modded my case. I had to make some circuitry for the fading light effect to be present.

Anyway here's the link to my blog, it's the last article posted :

You may need to refresh the link, sometimes when you first access the link it will say it doesn't find the page ... or at least that's what Firefox is doing with most of the sites on my PC.

TWHL LOGO

Well, I was somewhat bored so I decided to make a twhl logo, my tribute for twhl. I used Rimrook's map "cs_twhl" for a part of the video.
The "TWHL" metal plate is done in blender. The rest of the video in afx and sony vegas.

Because youtube sucks, they had to detect that I'm using the rockefeller song( how the hell they are doing this ? ... fuck technology, it's too advanced).
So I uploaded it in the map vault.
But sure, you can watch the video on youtube ... audioswapped X( :

[EDIT] Here's a vimeo link for it, in original state.

I recently received a "steam" email. Don't trust these things.

Also, notice how it addresses me : "dear users" . That's not my steam name.

CamSpace, The ultimate experience in game controllers

Kiss your keyboard, mouse and
joystick goodbye, and start playing
games with your webcam!
CamSpace is Super Easy & Super Fun

I tried this software and it's really something new and very cool. I played a game much like pinball or something like that, using a marker. I then made a profile config for GRID ( you can make game profiles), and I should say, you can configure it for a lot of movements( it detects almost any kind of movement).
The result was literally a disaster( my webcam is under MP and it isn't that good ...). The car was driving by itself almost :))
You have to get used to stand with your hands in air with an object. The object must be something contrasting with the ambient light.

Download it from HERE and also type "CamSpace" on youtube to see what I'm talking about.

Try it out yourself, it's quite cool and it provides some minigames that are already configured, for a "warm-up" with the program

Well, I finished the second video with gta4 ( it's actualy the third, but the first one is just too lame).
Now , I know most of you won't like you, but I tried to make this a little funnier than the last one I posted here.

Don't even try to watch it in normal quality. Only high-quality please ...
