Mail arrived today...

So my order from futurlec.com.au finally arrived. I got a bunch of stuff including a 1.5v to 5v boost converter from maxim, a smart card and socket, a sheet load of 2.5mm DC power connectors, and my current favourite – the 128 × 64 pixel blue graphics LCD.

I had it up and running in about 20 minutes. I uploaded the example arduino ‘sketch’, and up pops my little LCD!

After a bit of screwing around I decided to have some fun. Clicky here for team-significant photo!

That is the team eagle in 128 × 64 pixel resolution! Okay, so it lost a LOT of detail in the conversion, but I still like it! It would be easy to add a little detail, but this may be the only time I use it :-P.

So yeah, just wanted to show you guys what I got up to this afternoon.

Read the Full Story Here at Distrowatch

The SheevaPlug is an ARM-based computer with a 1.2 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and 512 MB of Flash memory, a Gigabit Ethernet port and a USB host connector, all rolled into the tiny form factor of a wall-wart power adapter.

Manufacturer – GlobalScale Technologies

The possibilities are endless but the concept has been around a long while, most routers have this built in now days.
s0 with so many uses for such a small device what would you use it for ?

Every now and then i wonder into video ezy to see what new movies or games are out. ever since it came out, i kept on thinking that army of 2 was some kind of alien thing but the other day i decided 2 go and hire it cos i was so bored. it turned out to 1 of the best games i hav ever played(but not the vry best). Its basically two guys who are army contractors. you fight terrorists, blow stuff up etc. i highly recommend this game even though it isnt very new.

AVP3 Appeal Successful! Ban Overturned!

Yes. Good. =)

Now 15 year olds will be able to cut off heads and collect and trophies, and eat their way out of a humans chest.. First the stomach.. mmm, then, the ribcage, oh yes.. Maybe an extra layer of flesh or two in between somewhere.

Now this is by all means, a mostly win situation for the current move to bring in an R18+. It does highlight the need for that category. We can still do what we’ve always done, and push some of those game through under the MA15+ classification, but we really do need to straighten out our system. To be honest, Australian teenagers are no more mature or responsible then those from other countries. I used to think when I was younger that, wow, the Australian government reckons were more mature and responsible, we get these games when were 15, and we can legally smoke when were 16.
