New Years Updates

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

I know I’ve not been posting much on here - I havn’t posted since the start of January, and even then it was a short post!. I’ve been pretty busy over the past few weeks revising for pointless exams, completing coursework, and continuing work on L33TSig. Oh yes, I also spent a rather long time completing Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Man, that’s a good game! And playing it at 1280×1024, with full anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering is simply amazing. Here are a couple of screenshots: My Dodge Viper, Porsche Carrera GT, BMW M3 (only available after you get to #1 on the Blacklist).
Sorry if they’re slow to load, but Imageshack is down at the moment. I’ll re-upload once it’s back up :)

I’ve made a lot of progress on L33TSig, and have learnt quite a few new things in Visual Basic, as well as in PHP. I also learnt a fair bit about raw HTTP, which is how the L33TSig client sends the data and checks to see if it’s the latest version.

It also seems to be that time again, where I spend yet more money on upgrades for my computer :D
I’m not sure exactly what else I’m getting, but I do know for sure, that I will be getting a new Viewsonic VX924, a 19inch TFT monitor with a 3 millisecond response time, 550:1 contrast ratio and a 160° viewing angle. Apart from that, I’m probably going to get two OCZ Premium LE 512MB PC3200 (CL 2-3-2-5) DDR sticks to run in dual channel (along with my current 1GB stick which is in single channel). I don’t know what else I’ll get, if anything. I’ll just have to see :)

Edit: Well after reading a few reviews about the Viewsonic VX924 I changed my mind, and bought the Viewsonic VX912. It’s actually a more expensive and better one than the VX924. I also changed my mind about the RAM too, and got a new Western Digital 160GB SATA2 (300Mb/sec) hard disk instead :D
