Tech Adventures: Thunderbolt 3 External Graphics
•
Our desktops at home, Alexstrasza and Keristrasza, have seen little use in the past years. Firstly, because the room they’re in got messed up by our cats. Secondly, because we’ve primarily moved to mobile and console gaming. Lastly, because lounging on a sofa or bed is much more comfortable than sitting in an IKEA…

Greetings from Phuket! Tis officially the first day of our vacation here and we’re totally taking it easy by lazing around the pool/beach. While last year we spent most of the time reading and sleeping, this time I have my laptop along for the possible office emergency (hope they don’t call *crosses fingers*). So…

ABAP: Stay logged into SAPGUI indefinitely
•
Sometimes you’re doing something midway on your system, and you’re interrupted for a meeting or lunch or whatever. You come back and you’ve been automatically logged out, losing whatever you were working on earlier. Prior to our upgrade to ECC6, you can simply keep yourself logged in by making timed calls to function module…

avisynth/mencoder transcoding for ps3 media server on windows 7
•
Finally managed to get CoreAVC + Subtitles + Avisynth/Mencoder working for the PS3 Media Server on Windows 7 RC. By right, the default usage of just Mencoder for transcoding with subtitles is just fine. However, I have some anime files that don’t size/zoom just right on the TV (i.e. there is no Zoom screen…

the karaoke trail
•
Initial plan was to stream karaoke files as video to the PS3. Hardware needed: PS3 (got it), mics with echo chamber (got a pair lying around in the old house), AV receiver & surround speakers (not really needed for this particular use, but you know.. we must have them!). Forgetting about hardware for the…

windows 7 first impressions

Build 7100: Shiny! Love how I can have two sound systems, and the OS will automatically switch outputs depending on which sound system I plug my headphones into. Internet Explorer 8 corrupts downloads like a runaway train. True to tradition. NVidia drivers need to be installed manually from the Device Manager. Everything else seems…

😛 Did a CMOS jumper reset and the compie works fine now. Was finally able to install Windows 7 RC thanks to Merv’s friend. Had to actually get a physical copy of the original disc rather than downloading because all the downloads would be corrupt regardless of what method I use. Shiny! Now installing…

weird news
•
Found that the issue was insufficient power supply, so upgraded to an 850W Coolermaster Real Power Pro. But now my computer won’t shut down. :O I’d shut it down, and 5 seconds later it wakes up again. Creepy! I checked my BIOS APM settings, XP Recovery settings, XP NIC WOL settings, updated my BIOS,…

Continuing tonight for the other quarters. bad news: My graphics card might be faulty. PC kept shutting down and refusing to boot up until after a few…

wow is pretty
•
Picked up all the components I needed for a new PC on Friday. Machines page updated to reflect the new hardware. Spent pretty much all of Saturday installing a temporary OS (XP 32 SP3) and some essential software (WoW. not a proper install either, simply a copy from my notebook). Watched The Day After…
