by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 11, 2004 12:01pm PDTMore database fun today. We're still running on just one server, which as you might've noticed, is only barely working out. We're trying to finally get two servers running again, but apparently there are some complications.

So I go for my lunch break to the subway by my work, I walk in the door and hear "OMG, You live in my apparment building..." and it's the same chick.
Just seemed weird to me.
First person to ask for PICs, DIVX, or any combo of the two gets pistol whipped.

I bought a travel case for my XBOX on Saturday (the Inteclink ProGramer's case http://www.inteclink.com/inteclink/products/prod_details.asp?mnuPlatform=xbox&mnuCategory=Miscellaneous&submit.x=16&submit.y=7&id=79 ) and I got it home... and couldn't open it.
The girl at the store had opened and closed it to show me what it looked like inside (I couldn't belive it would fit my huge XBOX) and when I got it home I couldn't get the thing unlocked!!! It has one of those 3-digit locks.
So what would you do?:
(1) Take it back to the store for a new one
(2) Break the lock (screw it, who needs it anyways)
or
(1) What I did, which was go through EVERY SINGLE COMBINATION 001 thru 999 and try to crack it myself. Yes I actually did this. Took me about 45 minutes.
And what happened? Fucker still wouldn't unlock!!!!
Thank god for teh Intarweb. I went to the company's website (there was no instruction manual for this thing, only a URL on the packaging) and I checked out the FAQs and it says:
---------------------------------------------------
I forgot the combination to my Pro Gamers Case. How can I open it?
Unfortunately there is not a ‘master code’ for this lock. We recommend cycling through all of the possible combinations (from 000 to 999) keeping in mind that the tab slides to the OUTSIDE, not pressed in like a button. It may be helpful to know that this item was shipped with 000 as the original code.
---------------------------------------------------
Note that I had been thumbing meticulously through every single number combo and then pressing the button to open it, when in fact all you had to do was push the button to the left.
TLDR: Bought a new XBOX travel case. Couldn't open it. Tried to crack the 3-digit code myself. Didn't work. Visited website. Found out what I was doing wrong. So dumb. Case is A++ would recommend!

Any comments on their logic/potential mistakes would be greatly appreciated. It'd be nice if they made sense.
I am hoping that it might be finished, having spent 50/60 hours on the graphics+integration, I'm want to see it working with the application. The developer reckons he'll have it all integrated by the end of today, that'd be ace :D:D

An attitude that says, "Asia is our test community. They start their business on our Sunday evening, so any big problems with a weekend upgrade get caught by them first."
And the majority of our factories, suppliers, and customers are in Asia. Good job IT guys!

I also picked up some Circuit City games this Friday for $4.99. I got: JSRF, Spy Hunter (PS2), Rygar, ICO (PS2), TonyHawk3 (XB, never played a Tony Hawk game, so I thought for 5 bucks it was a good deal), Oni (PS2), Defender (PS2), Waveracer (GC), SegaGT, Super BustAMove and DDR for my mom on the PS2 (she likes bustamove, and she wanted to try DDR).
I'm sure I missed one or two that I got in that list...but I got most of them. I made out pretty good...wanted Ikaruga and Viewtiful Joe...but those they didn't have.

Okay, I recently bought the Nvidia GeForce FX 5500. It's 256mb AGP. Well, I JUST noticed when I was looking in my Display Properties section when I was about to adjust some settings that the Adapater Information for Bus states: PCI...and not AGP? Why is that? Below is a screen cap of what it says:

Its basically a very fast paced DM mod called D2F (Doomed2Frag)...and I'd probably call it something else under DOOM3 and give it some more unique touches and changes (probably add some Prince of Persia wall running and some other tricks...and a few new weapons). I don't know if it'd be worth doing or not...and I really want to mod for HL2 so it'd be more of a side thing that I'd try to do quickly (thinking of starting working on content now in MayaPLE to be ready). I thought I'd ask if it looks like it has any potential or if I should just say fuck it.

That link is drag and drop...I haven't messed with it since December of 2002 (and a lot of the stuff in there is very rough...the last release of the mod was Halloween 2001, and even then it was on the verge of dying before that release).

Does the Logitech MX700 have any response lag on the cursor?
I ask because I was using my friend's MS Intelli wireless earlier, and now I want one. But there was a slight lag on the cursor that was fine on the desktop, but would play hell with gaming. I've heard the MX700 doesn't have this problem, can anyone confirm?
Thanks in advance
