Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 12, 2005 7:12pm PDTWell we're looking forward to bringing you guys all that fun HD footage for E3. Yes there will be some lower resolution videos made available a little later but the HD stuff will of course get priority on encoding and uploading etc. We'll also include some links to FAQs for people having system problems playing videos that are that demanding.
- Tanorexic - Videogame artists seek respect - Beating up people randomly because of TV - National ID debate goes onLastly, virtual reality helping stroke victims! Oh.. and I died a little inside watching that MTV thing. The XBox360 looked cool and all but MTV.... :(

I was planning on going to bed early last night. I am a goddamned working stiff; I get up at 6:30 and can't afford to stay up until 12:30am doing nothing but tuning, benchmarking, and test-driving my vehicles!
I think I competed in two official races in three hours. The rest of the time was spent buying upgrades, tuning, benchmarking, and test-driving.
I feel lost here. Is my class C car fast enough? Sure it's C1, but what are the other C1's like? Will it get smoked? Is the gearing too high? Is my STi an appropriate A1? Sure it's fast, but that hellacious understeer seems impossible to correct, no matter how much I adjust Camber and my Diff and PSI...I am paranoid about all my cars.
I did buy a D1 (Audi TT Quattro) and C1 (Honda S2000) cars, upgraded them to their class limits, and tested them. I love the S2000. I can turn in early for curves, and the whole car kicks sideways, but it's easily recoverable. It's my current favorite car even though it's only a C. Top speed of about 150; low skidpad numbers, but that's good, because it's a powerslider.
It's much more fun and rewarding to tune a car to perform within its class rather than just making everything an A or S monster.

Oh.. and the computer won't pull an IP address even after having the Winsock/LSP fixes run. It throws up an error that says "An error occured renewing interface Local Area Connection: The RPC server is unavailable."
Part that sucks, this kid has to pick it up by the end of the day and I have NO idea how to fix the damn thing at this point.

Even though I have a subscription right now from the Live 12 month starter pack, can't I just buy another 12 month starter pack and use the code from that for another 12 months? Or do I have to do the subscription thing?

Next week I'll be in Ireland on vacation. I'm taking my Sony camcorder, my digital camera, my PSP, my gameboy sp, and my ipod mini since I want to be a walking candidate for mugging.
I know they use 220 over there for electricity. So my question is do I just buy a cheap little converter type deal and leave all my electronics alone, or will I need a plug converter PLUS have to change the settings on all my devices? Does the psp/gameboy sp even have a setting for this?

ezkilla2 released this thing a couple days ago, and I've been working on adding much-needed filter list management tools to this thing, as well as speeding it up (it seemed a little sluggish).
I'm happy to announce it's ready for release. See a screenshot of it in action, and instructions to install it from:

A local Austin radio station was playing some songs that have been mixed together that I had never heard of:
Oasis vs Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Songs
Keli vs Michael Jackson - Milkshake and Billie Jean
Nelly vs Green Day
Anyway, they are mixed really really well. I'm impressed.
www.jbandsandy.com -> choose Radio Player at the top -> Scroll to the bottom of the list of songs to listen yourselves.
Takes awhile to play as it loads the WHOLE song into memory.

I had a theroy that every second generation of console there was a massive difference in visuals. I feel the last big jump was the snes/genesis to ps1/n64 generation. I remember seeing mario 64, wipeout, waverace for the first time and actually being floored by what i saw. I was hoping for the same feeling again, since the ps2's hype disapointed most people. I know its very early days and we're yet to see some real footage, but i hoped at least to be really excited about what i saw. And im not. the hardware looks real nice imo tho ;)

So, with all the options out there (MiniDV, Digital8, MiniDVD), it's overwhelming with all the options. My brother has been using a Sony D8 camcorder for the last few years on our trips to the USGP race, and the DVDs he makes with that are good. But, this is a big purchase, and I just can't decide which way to go.
I have read all the support/cons for each format, but it really hasn't settled anything. I definitely am leaning MiniDV over Digital8 only because the format is not owned by Sony like D8 is. I really wanted to get a straight-to-DVD type camcorder, but a friend of mine said they suck?
So, those of you who own or have experience with camcorders, mind offering your advice? You can even name specific cameras, that would be great. I am not looking to spend a huge chunk of change, it seemed like the $500-700 range offered tons of great camcorders. So don't tell me about some pro-level $3000 camera please :P
