Xbox 360 Gamer Card App released on RIAforge.org |
||||||||
After Scotch on the Rocks in London I was struck with how many developers are also gamers. It seems there are a lot of us who build applications for people, then go home and relax in front of an Xbox 360 Console.
With that in mind I thought I would wrap up a service I have used in the past. A site, http://www.mygamercard.net/ provides a service where you can generate a graphic of your Xbox 360 account. They call this a Gamer Card, and it is available in a few different formats.
There is an example here
You can download the project here: http://gamercard.riaforge.org/

Eclipse SDK workspace issues and problems creating projects |
||||||||
I've recently picked up a new laptop, and in the process of setting it up for development purposes I've had some issues. Some are Windows 7 based, the others are Eclipse workspace related.
I thought I'd put together a short entry on the issues I encountered, and how I overcame them.

New Ati cards cause boot issues on Nvidia nForce chipset motherboards |
||||||||
I recently had two Nvidia graphics cards go pop on me (article here: Link) because of this I needed to replace those cards with a new one. I consulted with a friend who's into PC Hardware and he recommended a few of cards out of the current ATI lineup.
So I bought an ATI 5770, which looked like a good all round desktop and light gaming card.
It is a great card, but it seems there is an issue running it on some of the Nvidia nForce motherboards. The card causes there to be a 20-30 second boot delay. The card appears to spin up a few times, like there is a seek issues with it, then it loads fine.
I've raised Forum topics in both the AMD and the Nvidia forums, but the only solution seems to be flashing your motherboard, which isn't going to happen for me, as I have an Abit motherboard, and they went bust two years ago.
