Currently (attempting) to decide between an Atom 330 based solution vs an E5200 based solution. This machine is (ideally) meant for the following: BitTorrent client PS3 DLNA Media Server (with hopefully sufficient CPU power for transcoding) not making whirring sounds when it’s on not increasing ambient room temp by 5° Information gathered so far: the…

Belkin F8T013 & You!!!
If you are trying to get your PC mic and speakers to work as a Bluetooth headset… you might as well save yourself the trouble and get a Belkin F8T013. It comes with Widcomm drivers, AND you can update the drivers directly off the Broadcom/Widcomm website. Don’t bother shopping around unless you are 100% certain…
Bluetooth, Widcomm, Toshiba, Microsoft and Unstandardized Standards
Don’t believe anything that you read in the newspapers about how Bluetooth is a standard based technology. Well, it is… like at the integrated circuit level. If you ever want to do more than just transferring files or syncing your mobile phone, you’ve probably run into the same problems as I have. Put simply, the…
Bluetooth Audio Gateway/Headset Profile & You
Once upon a time, Bluetooth dongles came with drivers… typically those drivers included cool and useful things (like the Bluetooth Audio Gateway). Now, what the Bluetooth Audio Gateway (BT AG from here on) means to most people is this – BT headset connected to PC via USB BT dongle, stream music (and other audio stuff)…
N97 Thoughts…
I’ve had my N97 for (about) 2 days now. Just a quick bit of online diarrhea in case anyone is interested in getting an N97 and is having second thoughts (blasphemy). I’ll start with the cons or negatives: the battery indicator is full of poop as usual… showing 100% for ages then sinking like a…
adventures in xp64
(1) WoW FPS is decent without tweaks – not quite XP32 FPS though; not sure why. (2) Registry modifications to disable Nagle et al work. (3) Dual monitors work flawlessly. (4) 1GB RAM still free running WoW and a VM with 1GB RAM. (5) 3com card doesn’t have drivers and I have no idea what…
C&C: Red Alert 3!!!
Hay guy… Even if you don’t like RTS games… Play RA3 for…… If all army girls looked like that, there would be no private sector. Other useful notes: – Alliance > All (based on chickzormeter) – Russians (or whatever) come in close second… getting orders from a chick in leathers that says FOR MOTHER RUSSIA…

Finally remembered to DL/watch this A+++ old school movie.
the adventures of biatch0 in modem/router/wifi-land
D-Link 2542B – Modem, 4-port router. Crashed on first night of download tests… 20% into the first file in queue. Punched random babies in face. Possibly the most messy UI and configuration interface I’ve ever seen (this includes the shit UIs that I code sometimes). On the bright side I saved 1 plug point vs…
the adventures of biatch0 in OSland
WinXP32 – Annoyed at 1GB of RAM touching itself while the other 3GB worked like dogs. Ubuntu – Happy at all 4GB being available… before finding out the ATI HD4870 support is buggy causing video output to flickr during playback. Also would not play WoW nicely in WINE (which made me stab random people). Vista64…
