Zotact Z-BOX looks nice -- and cheap!

A couple of people have been asking me about my HTPC lately. If you didn’t already know, it’s a Nvidia ION motherboard, SSD hard disk in a small case. Total cost was about $600, however I was getting some elements significantly better than retail.

However, if I was buying it all over again, I’d get one of these:

http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=10...

It’s practically the same thing, but prebuilt and much cheaper.

You can pick up a barebones one for about $300, or with 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD for about $500.

It will comfortably run XBMC, and in-fact that’s what they use to show it off in their videos (embedded below).

Earthquake Watch. 5.3 Southern Sumatra

m0rnin,

Earlier this m0rning (Saturday, May 29, 2010 at 04:32:45 AM – Port Moresby, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne) there was a 5.3 quake in the Southern Sumatra region. Based on my past observations, the last two times there was a quake of
near this magnitude in this region, there was a follow up quake further up that area, closer to the epicentre of the quake that caused the 2006 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Not saying there will be a shift of that magnitude, I am just predicting another shake of greater then 5 on the scale on that area ( Andamans).

Keep watch. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and freedom.. Or in this case, the price of potentially not drowning.

Last Day for The Humble Indie Bundle - or is it?

There have been some major updates to The Humble Indie Bundle today. I’ll leave the original post here, and new information will follow down below.

As of this posting there are less than 14 hours left to go get a copy of The Humble Indie Bundle. To be precise, the offer finishes at 6am (AEST) tomorrow morning (being 12 May 2010…. to be precise….). Thanks to those IPX members who contributed and received their bundles of joy, those who haven’t now have until tomorrow morning to contribute to the $850,000+ that has so far been raised for the developers, the EFF, and Child’s Play charity.

Is there a goal to reach? The developers have stated that if the magical $1,000,000 mark is reached, all the games will be made open source, meaning even more platforms can be reached, and more modifcations can be made (can you say, ninja turtles in Lugaru?).

Big thanks to my fellow Linux users, who have reached into their pockets so deeply to represent themselves, contributing an average of over $14 per purchase, desperate that we are for good quality games.

To further sweeten the deal, a new game has been donated to the bundle. Samorost 2 is an adventure/puzzle game with some stunning surrealistic artwork.

One last note: people have been pirating this bundle. If I find that any IPX members have done so, there will be consequences. There is simply no excuse.

As of this morning, the bundle had reached the $1 million mark! Not only does this mean that the games will be made open source, it means they have also extended the offer by another 4 days.

What does open sourcing mean? It means that the underlying source code from which the games are built is now (or shortly) available to download and modify. The game still has to be paid for, but now people are free to port it to a host of other platforms and make improvements. The same kind of thing which has happened to Quake 1/2/3 etc. and allowed games like Padman to be developed.

So, if you haven’t yet, get paying, get playing. If you don’t have access to Paypal, Google Checkout, Amazon.com or a credit/debit card and still want in on this deal, let me know and we can work something out.

Chokito

Well, I am suprised n0mad hasnt posted this!
(I’m sure he’s gunna say something, its a well know fact he is a “chokito fan!”)

Looks like a campagin to “revive” (n0mad will say it was never dead) the humble chokito. The ads are pretty funny I must say.
there is even a facebook page
SOOOOO WRONG!

Well all I have to say is “Shad says NO NO NO to facebook and twitter” And now im gunna use chokitos ad campage against them
is now
Screw facebook, twitter and Screw norway. Chokito’s may be good but facebook & twitter are Norways crack whores.

but the “chokito says NO NO NO to “just a little bite” ad” – so true
