Today I got down to the post office to send the cable back to the UK (the one they sent me by mistake). For me to send the cable back to them via Air Express, it cost about $31 (Aus). They're going to reimburse me that amount, so it's all good. The funny part is: When you consider that it probably...
Because I know you're just dying to know what happened with my Xbox 360 cable . . . I managed to get a chat session going with the support folks from gameplay.co.uk (I can mention the site now 'coz everything worked out). They said to return the cable and they will refund my postage costs. They...
God damn it! As I posted earlier, I had to order a SCART cable for my Xbox from the UK, as none were released here in Australia. My television won't accept a component or RGB connection via anything other than SCART, so if I want a decent picture I need a SCART cable. So I ordered this cable from...
My Xbox Live "friends" list is looking a bit sparse right now. My only friend is Crucible (gamertag: crucibleAU ). So if you want to be my friend, feel free to add " mabsterama " to your friends list. It'll be nice to see those pop-ups as friends come online appearing more often! ;-) Here's my gamer...
Sal and I saw V for Vendetta yesterday. I had read several positive reviews of this flick, so I went to the movies with high expectations. I wasn't disappointed. This movie is kind of a modern take on Orwell's "1984". It shows where we could end up if things go horribly wrong. I'm...
Like many people, I experimented at university. Dabbled, you might say. However, I can honestly say that I have not played Dungeons & Dragons for over 12 years. Having said that, I do play games like Neverwinter Nights , which is based on the D&D rules, so I have a pretty good understanding of...
Funkyj over on the Xbox World Australia blogs has posted a little rant about the "achievements" system on Xbox Live. For him, it doesn't work so well because he jumps from game to game (being a reviewer), rarely finishing anything. I wanted to post my own little rant about the achievements...
It's an Express Hero ! Got a cool project you've made using one of Microsoft's Express products? Why not submit it to their new Express Heroes promotion and let them write an article about it? If they do, they'll send an Amazon.com gift voucher worth $100 in your direction! And by jingo, your humble...
Looks like the site was down for the better part of last night. It seems to be some sort of problem running CommunityServer on ASP.NET 2.0. Obviously not everyone is having this problem, but there are forum posts on the CS site with the exact exception that we were experiencing. For now I've put...
Wow. That didn't quite go as smoothly as I planned. Just brought madprops.org up to the final 2.0 release of CommunityServer. We're now running under ASP.NET 2.0, too, which is a pretty big change. I'm not particularly happy with the site's speed right now, but that may just be a caching...
