Memories

Posted by WoodlandSpirit on 24th August 2010

In need of new memory, mentioned stuff about computer memory a number of times in previous posts, the cause of a number of problems but the end result is simply this, I only have two gig and I really need four gig.

Got me remembering however, looking through the prices and seeing that it would cost around a hundred pounds to replace the current two gig with four gig I remember how I paid sixty four pound to upgrade in the past from sixteen meg to thirty two meg and even when I paid ninety nine pound to upgrade Ye old Atari ST from half meg to two and a half meg!

How things have moved on, and no, I don’t know why I wrote out all the numbers…

Rolling Ball

Posted by WoodlandSpirit on 9th August 2010

Currently laid here in bed, the lady has Big Brother on which I am trying my best to ignore, I do like this WordPress app a lot but all that is not what I’m wanting to tap on this screen about.

Got a couple of videos up on the new channel now with more in the works… even more amazing however us that I’ve actually got them posted onto the site as well! Although I probably should have had the posted into the site as soon as I had them uploaded rather than a day later, don’t worry, I intend on getting a good habit with the whole thing.

However I only wanted this to be a quick note, going to get this uploaded now and have a few more blasts on Hyper Jump beforeĀ I go to sleep.

Strange Days

Posted by WoodlandSpirit on 4th August 2010

You get days that are good, you get days that are bad, but you get days that are just weird, you just can’t put anything to it.

Today has been like that, little strange things not working, not in a big way, little weird unrelated things that only take a little juggle to get back on track.

Created the new YouTube account to start from scratch, had intentions to be productive on that front before heading off to work that didn’t happen in a strange feeling way.

Got news the wedding album is done now so that’s good, also some other possible good news that could change a few things in the future… so yeah, some good news in there but a strange feeling day all the same.

I need a plan

Posted by WoodlandSpirit on 3rd August 2010

It is something I keep saying but this time it is quite important. For those that don’t know (all of you?) I have a sister site ’4 the fun of it’ (4tfoi) which is gaming related stuff, mostly gameplay oriented videos at present. The videos are uploaded onto YouTube and linked back over accordingly.

This year I have been pushing for being part of the partnership program to try and get something from the time I put into my work, however, a video in the past got caught in copyright nuisance and left what would seem to be a permanent mark on my YouTube account and so have been refused because of this.

As much as I hate the pathetic pushyness of these big corps I sadly need to ‘play the game’. The issue I’m faced with at this present is trying to ‘resolve’ this mark or starting from scratch with a new account, building it back up to the same sort if level in preferabley a short time and then trying again and at this point I believe it will be easier starting from scratch!

Decisions decisions…

Edit: This is my first post from the WordPress Android app :)

OEM Power adaptors

Posted by WoodlandSpirit on 2nd September 2009


OEM Power adaptors are complete and total rubbish! They generally come with routers and this is the 3rd one that has died on me. Look around your plugs, if you see one marked ‘OEM’ be warned!

Not Quite There Yet

Posted by WoodlandSpirit on 4th June 2009

As the title might suggest the computer is not quite to a point that I would prefer it but it is behaving a hell of a lot better than it previously has been, what with the banishing of that memory chip that proved to be such a misery! Currently tidying up a Win XP install on the system, I did have Win 7 RC 64 bit on prior to it but as usual I have some freak hardware configuration that causes problems.

All started out very good, got the OS installed, most of the drivers built in off the bat but still updated what I could of it. Got my usual essentials all set up and started to feel a love I hadn’t felt since I first started using XP all those years ago. Testing various aspects that I needed, fraps capture in various proggies, video playback (a bit of a no brainer that one but still had to be tested) and capture from the 360, that’s where it all started to go wrong. On the other hand I discovered I seem to have broken something on my Audigy card, the headphone socket on the front panel no longer seems to be working properly so at the same time there could be some connection there too.

At the moment I just want a stable computer so I can wrap up on a number of things and continue on with other things, I’ve had enough of computer problems for the present time no thanks to that memory chip and just want to get on with my little projects. Only potential problem at present is I’m a bit paranoid over the heat it’s kicking out but I do have a meaty Phenom 2 black edition now so probably just not properly accounting for it on the case cooling setup, all is fine in the mean time thanks to that wonderful cool ‘n quiet technology but will have to keep check when it comes to the more strenuous tasks.

Really wanted everything to work in Win 7, was starting to really like using and working in the environment.
