For a full image click on this link: http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?2010007-0107/GreatBritain.A2010007.1150.1km.jpg Well as I was unable to get into work today I thought I would get out and take a few photos. Here are a few taken from around the harbour area plus 3 quick snaps from outside the house showing the amount of snow still falling, not bad for Southerly Cornwall.
No time to post any details as it is installing onto my XBox HDD and nearly ready. This is a quick post as last night three of us from work had a superb race on Forza Motorsport 3 around Le Mans in a standard AMG SL65 Black each. At one point I attempted an OUTRAGEOUS late braking and drift manoeuvre, don’t think I could ever pull off this move again without it ending badly! Well something good appears to have come out of the postal strike, GAME have sent me my copy of Forza Motorsport 3 on the XBox 360 today (Tuesday 20th October) and it is not officially released until Friday 23rd October! Only had it for a few hours but it is superb and has managed to make the iconic XBox benchmark racing title Forza Motorsport 2 look really quite dated, no mean feat at all. Well now is the slog up the leaderboards to see if I can get to the dizzy heights of in the Top 25 in the world, which is where I was in Forza 2. Below is a selection of some of my in-game photos, I will keep adding to this gallery over the next few weeks. I quite like my ‘police car’ Evo parked at the side of the track waiting for speeding racers to go by!
First thing i did was update the firmware to the latest version, which is currently v1.6, but it still does not work. Lionsgate are confirming that the BD Live title will only play back correctly on Profile 2 Blu-ray players with internal memory (or connected external USB). If you try and spin the disc on a Profile 2 player without sufficient memory available, the film itself will be visible only in a small, distorted onscreen window, exactly as I was seeing! Anyway the solution is quite simple if you own a Panasonic DMP-BD35, I simply ejected the disc, stuck in a 2Gb SD card that I had laying around and bingo, the movie played without issue. I guess that 2Gb SD card will be a permanent resident in my Blu-ray player now!  Der Riese Zombie Factory Last night I got into the 1000 Kill Club on Call of Duty: World at War with 1286 kills in a single game lasting to round 29. It only went wrong when the 3 of us playing got split up whilst teleporting back to the mainframe. I managed to aquire all of the Waffle weapons and the other two had the PPSh and Pansershreck all Pack-a-Punched! Below is the leaderboard table showing our final score and my epic number of kills! You will have to excuse the quality of the images as I do not have a decent video capture card at the moment.
 The Dark Knight on Blu-ray Well I have finally got around to putting my movies and games database back online. I have so many films that it takes me ages to search for what I have so this way is the easiest method I have to search for them. The links are off of the main menu at the top of the page if you are interested. I have a simple mySQL backend database and have written custom pages that integrate in my Wordpress site.  Office Outlook Since migrating my work mailbox from Novell GroupWise to Microsoft Exchange my Junk E-mail folder within Microsoft Outlook was renamed Junk E-mail1. If I tried to rename the folder from within Outlook the option was greyed out so there seemed no simple way to do this, it annoyed me to be honest! Well today I have solved it and my Junk E-mail1 folder is now labeled Junk E-mail. How did I do this? It was really really simple, all I needed to do was to close Outlook then relaunch it once with outlook.exe /resetfoldernames That was it, like I said simple!  Nokia N95 8GB Since I bought my Nokia N95 it has never synchronised that well with my various bluetooth devices such as my Parrot CK3200LS and Alpine CDE-103BT. My previous Sony c phones had no problem in keeping the two phonebooks in sync with whatever was on the phone but the N95 had to ‘push’ it’s contacts manually. I now appear to have found the solution, it is in the form of a small Nokia application that you install onto the phone and it monitors whenever an existing bluetooth connection is established and then automatically carries out the sync. The software can be found on the Nokia website [http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881] for the N95 8Gb you need the Nokia 810 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices version. Install it using your Nokia PC Suite and set it to auto run on start-up and auto sync then clear your bluetooth pairings between devices, recreate them and it will sync automatically every time you connect. |
