> I’ve had a stupid problem lately, well it’s been a bit of a problem for a while.The fan on my Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe motherboard is dying. The Northbridge chipset fan to be specific. Since the SLi bus is controlled by that chip, it gets really hot with only a little overclocking. The fan is designed badly to start, but I have found a couple solutions. For now I’m going to set a graphics card fan on top of the existing heatsink. It should tide me over until the other one from NewEgg arrives. I’m also getting another power supply,…

>GRA! I got home early, we jetted on the server reinstall. We were initially going to backup to another SCSI drive. They didn’t want to buy another drive just for backup purposes. So then he had an IDI. The Server doesn’t do IDE. So he had a 2.0 USB drive, the server doesn’t do 2.0. So we were looking at like 4 hours more. I gave him the info he’ll need for next time, and I’ve got things like the routing tables, and NIC settings we’ve done so far, and various screen grabs of important settings. He’ll need to back…
>I’m currently backing up the server.We’re wiping it and reinstalling 2003 due to HD space issues the very small system partition was running into. I’ve put the finishing touches on Teagno Construction INC website. So while I’m at it:Everything you ever wanted to know about text but were afraid to ask.
>As You Wish…
>Finally, I’ve got the site looking how I orginally intended. I guess it just took some ambition. I’ve been busy attempting to get to the bottom of the XBox controller. No one knows one way or another. It’s a new product, and a very very small percentage of people have purchased the controllers for use with Windows XP. I’m anxiously awaiting another official driver release, but again… not holding my breath. I’ll be transferring the blog over to the new format. Streamlined, only 2k of code for the main page, the pictures are another story. It’s still a long time…
>XBox Controller Woes
>Follow-up to the XBox story:I’ve contacted the PR agency regarding the functionality of the XBox Controller “for Windows XP”.I hope to get to the bottom of things, since the Tech support can’t seem to get their heads around this. If it’s an intention to not have the rumble work, there’s a problem.If they did intend to have the rumble work, there’s still a problem. Case 1) They have created a controller that works for both their Microsoft designed XBOX 360 “computer” and conventional PCs running WinXP. However, they apparently did not speak with their DirectX crew regarding how to make…
>XBox Controller — Zeta (Z)
>OK, so here’s the deal. The “official” Microsoft driver from WindowsGaming.com does not list a “Force” Tab for testing Force Feedback. The only Knowledgebase articles I can find reference Sidewinder and Windows 98. WTF!Those say to go into a game that supports Force Feedback and try it in there. I called Tech support, they said they’d put in a ticket. He couldn’t give me a ticket number though… hmmm… I’m not going to hold my breath for that one. I found a review, and several discussion boards, doesn’t seem that anyone’s been able to get vibration to work. On the…
>F.E.A.R. Review (PC) M
>I just finished playing F.E.A.R. for PC. It has been quite a while since there was an original story. The story is what set this apart from every other FPS out there. There were parts that I wished for the Half-Life 2 engine, in that you should be able to stack the boxes all over the place and do things with them, or throw a paint can around a corner to distract a guard. All in all I’d give it 3 out of 4 stars. It flowed pretty well, it was difficult to get lost, because if you took the…
