I am proud to announce the first public release of Xtatix. It’s a demo pack in video format, consisting of more than 300 demos captured in AVI and MPEG, scattered among four full DVDs. You can learn more at the Xtatix homepage, where you’ll find all the info, including the lists of the demos included, and also a torrent file you can get and use with your bittorrent client to acquire the four DVDs.
Xtatix is a totally freeware and legal production so I’ve used OpenBitTorrent as the main tracker; however you’re also free to upload the torrent to other public trackers. I hope that you enjoy Xtatix whether if you’re a demoscene fan, or if you’re new to demos and you are experiencing them for the first time.
Well, I really have felt a burst of rage due to spam more than once and twice, but in the end I’m a pacific person. I guess not everyone else is so pacific, that’s why this spammer has been killed: Russian viagra and penis enlargement spammer murdered. Not that I’d approve it (publically), but I won’t shed a tear.
Update: Apparently it was a hoax. It wouldn’t have surprised me if it was true, but at least, as a long-time dehoaxer, I’m reporting that in this case, the story wasn’t true.
After my memory upgrade of yesterday, I got a couple of random crashes and resets. First I thought that the DIMM was bad, and I started a test using Memtest86. Then I realized that the only change I did besides putting a new DIMM was closing the computer case. It was a simple matter of overheating. (more…)
It’s the politic of Hewlett-Packard to not include USB cables with their printers. You get everything else: AC cable and adapter, two ink cartridges to start, good manuals and a CD with the drivers… But not the USB cable. How will you use the printer without the cable? Plus, it’s not a normal USB A-A cable. It’s a B connection, so you need an A-B USB cable, which is less common than the A-A one. And you know what, HP’s politics regarding USB cables sucks big time. That’s one point less for the largest IT company in the world (by revenue). Oh well, I might just add that I bought an HP Deskjet F370 today.
Bueno, pues ya soy de Bordefone. A los de Kakatel y a los de Horanje que les den. Ahora despotricaré sobre Bordefone. Una de las cosas que me he dado cuenta al cambiar de compañía es que los rumores malos son ciertos, y los rumores buenos, pues no tanto. Por ejemplo, Bordefone es muy “barato” (nótesen las comillas), para llamar a otros Bordefone. Si no, pues hala, a joderse. En todas las compañías pasa lo mismo, llamadas a móviles de la misma compañia es relativamente barato, pero a otras compañías es carísimo. (more…)
