installed linux (mandrake 9). works fine. had a bit of trouble getting the audigy digital-out to work. also nvidia drivers make me loose the console (w/ blank screen) after exiting X / switching to consoles… (problem w/ smp & missing APM maybe?)
iPod arrived just in time (i.e. on monday before leaving). Thus: Mini-Review iPod Windows 10GB. Very, very sleek (packaging as well). Sounds excellent, but included earbuds lack “oomph”. easy to use, great (simple) UI-design. use ephpod.
Sorry for the lack of updates, but my computer didn’t like my new RAID5-controller… A point of advice (which i learnt the hard way): Don’t try to use a Geforce3 / 4 and an Adaptec 2400A controller on a Tyan Tiger MPX board (the revision w/o working USB); it simply does not work under load (screen goes blank and you get a bluescreen you can’t see). Both Adaptec’s and Tyan’s support say it should work; but it doesn’t… :s
Fixed it by getting a Tyan Tiger MP. Anyone need a Tyan Tiger MPX dual Athlon board?
being quite busy at work. had the deadlines for “the guild (uk-version)” (now to be called “Europa 1400”) pushed back a week so we can integrate my new T&L engine.
The new NVidia drivers are still beta (and quite flakey… at least if run on a GF2MX).. And NV30 emulation is only provided for OpenGL!
new nvidia driver 40.41 (w2k/xp); includes NV30 emulation… mhmmmm… yummy.
Updated the cute Shin Seiki / Neon Genesis Evangelion Desk-Toy to not appear in the task-list…
