You can thank me actually. I grabbed him on Google Talk.

Well the good news is they came and replaced the light. The bad news is they didn't replace the one part that is causing the problem. It's called the ballast. Sounds more like something you'd find on a ship. I've made another call. Second time lucky?

I'm confused. You're saying it's too small. It's 1920x1080 as it says in your screenshot but the screenshot itself is 1920x1080. It doesn't look like you scaled the screenshot down so the only conclusion I can draw is that your browser zoomed it out and you didn't notice.

Have to agree with Matt. I got a new monitor (Acer G246HYL) for Christmas. I'm finally free of 4:3! I bought my last screen just before 16:9 became the norm and the damn thing has lasted for ages. It's still showing no signs of letting up but with a 16:9 screen at work, I just couldn't stand it any ...

May have made some progress on the disconnection front. I moved the router back to the master socket and the disconnections continued as I had kinda hoped. Changing the cable didn't help either. My ISP won't bother BT until I've ruled out the router as well, which I can understand because BT will ch...

True, my eyesight was shit back in the day, nevermind now.

Funny how 6 years later, you can totally forget about your own post, reread it, and laugh so hard you nearly spray your lunch over your keyboard.

I'd be interested in hearing what you are going to use to host the site on. You said some sort of ARM device? Sounds fun :D If my connection was better I'd be up for doing something like this myself, so I can access my shit from Uni. I posted the links above. It's quad core with 2GB. Pretty beefy a...

At the moment I'm just developing a "3D Render Core" to render a scene. Creating the lighting, mesh loading, camera etc. The tutor practically gave us one that worked entirely and said we can change things to suit out needs, but I've opted to rewrite it because it wasn't very object-orien...

If you used Windows, this wouldn't have happened. Riiight. Joke or otherwise, I'm really not sure where you were going with that one. Still don't have the Utilite yet but it should be here this time next week. We've been plagued with random disconnects but strangely only when it's dark, usually bet...

Even I'm not a big C++ fan. Thankfully I don't encounter it very often. Maybe you're using it in ways that doesn't bring out its worst features or maybe you're using some of the brand new stuff that makes it a little less painful. Or maybe you're just a glutton for punishment. :P You can probably gu...

It was Christmas day. It wouldn't be so bad. It would give you an excuse to at least celebrate something on that day, then you wouldn't look like a total Scrooge.

Okay so the main reason for the delay was the phone socket wasn't where I wanted it to be. There was another socket but by the time I got around to wiring everything up, I'd forgotten that it wasn't active. I then had to wire up on my own slave socket, which was new territory for me, and getting the...

Haha, you almost gave me a heart attack there. Congratulations to them! Hopefully the wee thing isn't too much of a handful.

Aaaand we're back. Much later than planned. More info soon.
