Back Again

Hi there! Haven't been on in a while. I got my Transport Tycoon Web Page mostly up and running. I update it as often as I can.
If you want to visit it, go to My Web Site.
Then click on Bob27's TT HQ.
Tell me what you think!

PC or Mac?

No, I'm not buying anything right now, I just want to know what people like.
I know I myself don't have a Mac but I still like them. I know more people in the graphics and web design field use them. (Which I might get into.) But I'm still stuck with my good old PC. Which is kind of odd because I actually like it too. Don't get me wrong, old versions of Windows stank, but I really like XP. I think it was one of Microsoft's only successes.
Tell me what you think. :)

XBox woes

Microsoft has just published this.
The XBox 360 has cost them over $1 million in repair costs for busted consoles.
That's a pretty good chunk of change I'd say. At least on a lighter note Microsoft has lowered the prices on the 360 a bit.
Oh well, tell me if you got a clue.
EDIT: Whoops. Sorry that bill was 1 billion, not 1 million.

Frames

Well I'm Happy. Just figured out how to make a link open in another frame in Microsoft Word. Yeah, I'm that pathetic.

Portable Apps

I've just found this cool alternative to U3 called Portable Apps. And i have to tell you, its pretty cool. It works well and now I can take some of my favorite programs along with me just by bringing my flash drive.

Wii Media

I think Nintendo made one mistake with the Wii. Not having good media options. It also doesn't help that the only plug-in that the browser has is Macromedia 7.
Sheesh, doesn't Adobe already have version 9 out?
This kinda becomes a problem when want photos, music, and videos on the Wii. (without an SD card)
So I'm thinking to myself, how can I do this?
Well videos can be done through Youtube, so that's not a real problem.
And Pictures can be done trough Picasa web albums, so that's done.
Now what to do for music? Yes I know that there is the Media Center X for Wii, but I don't want to have to keep my PC on. So I'm going to try my only other solution, a flash mp3 player, hmmph.
I hope it works.
Tell me if you have any other ideas.

Wii have fun

Today on my Wii I decided to download a game. So there I was looking through the available games. I came upon two N64 games Mario Kart 64 and Star Fox 64. Since I already have too many Mario Kart games, I downloaded Star Fox 64.
I will sum up this game in one word.
SWEET!
The game's graphics are good, playability is super, and It is extremely fun.
I would recommend it.
The only other N64 Game I want off the top of my head is Blast Corps. (Are you listening Nintendo?)

Wasted Time

I just found this awesome game. Its called Desktop Tower Defense. Here is the link.
I've wasted about 3 hours playing it already. And to let you know, I could waste more. Its really fun.

XBox 360 Problem update

Hello there! Well it seems as if Microsoft has released some data according to Gizmodo. This was one of today's rss feeds from Gizmodo.

"We always knew the Xbox 360 failure rate was high, but the only time Microsoft's put any sort of solid numbers on the thing it was always somewhere around 5%. Retailers, on the other hand, have just reported a failure rate of somewhere over 30%. That's pretty ridonkulous. It's a good thing Microsoft support is usually pretty good about taking them back, so you don't have to go all Picard and shout about how many lights there are over the phone.

From what we've seen in unconfirmed reports on the Net, the problem comes from insufficient cooling for the GPU. This in turn causes the three red lights, which means you're going to have to send back your 360 to Microsoft and possibly get a dirty refurbished unit in return. If you're really, really lucky (and French), you'll get a unit with added cooling as well. – Jason Chen

Whoa! 30% that can't be good.

Tell me what you think.

PeeCee Problems

So yesterday somebody went on our computer in the basement. They clicked on their name and logged in. A error message popped up saying that their profile was missing and that Windows was going to make a temporary one. She clicked OK and then while it was loading, it froze. After 5 minuets she powered down the PC and tried again to no avail. She tried again and this time it came up with a generic desktop (like the one you would find in Safe Mode.) She tried to log on to the Internet but it then didn't show her name only "Guest." Since she really had work to do she continued working with all of these kinds of random problems. Today I checked around and made a backup. I looked and her settings were still messed up. I did the only real thing I could do (Besides reintsalling Windows) a System Restore to 2 days before. Luckily when it restarted everything was fixed but I still don't get something. What the heck happened?
If you know or have a suggestion please comment!
