computer case

Found a computer case on the side of the road.
so. now I have a new addition to my custom computer cases to work on.
I plan to strip this one to the metal. Totally sandblast this one and then chunk a clear coat and have the whole polished aluminum look.
It is a small case. There is a motherboard inside that looks like the max size that can fit inside, and boy, is it ever tiny. The motherboard is supposed to be an economical motherboard. I read a few reviews and watched a couple presentations. Why? I dunno, might not even work. I guess so I have some history on what this computer used to be. So I can stay with in the theme somehow.
No powersupply, no hard drives and no cd or dvd drives. but soon.

Android apps for Fire Alarm and design

hd measure instrument – right off. asks you to put in your height. in centimeters. so you will need this page http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm
You have to be the exact height you stated and your eyes have to be the “regular” position from top of the head. So if your forehead is a bit high, I would suggest you take it down a centimeter or so. You can get a pretty accurate reading . You are measuring the distance from where you stand, to the base of the object across the room. So, if you are measuring the distance to a wall, you need to point the sites on the spot where the wall meets the floor. Once you establish distance, you can then measure height. Works like smart meter but seem much more precise.

measure & sketch – this one has potential for something. but I couldn’t get a measurement. looks more like a designing tool than a measuring. actually looks like you take a photo of a space and start measuring available area to design in. Would be awesome if it would export to autodesk.(if I am correct as to what it does. but really, I haven’t a clue.. couldnt do much more than take a picture of the room.

distance and area measurement didn’t do anything but say “awaiting signal”

smart measure – got it right on the mark. no setting no configuration needed seems to work on the feature that repositions your screen to tell what angel you are holding the phone. the more straight up the phone, the further out. plus an obstructions are sensed by the camera. very nifty. error is you have to consider your distance from the base and the distance to the top and subtract your distance from the base to get the full height.

Built Computer from Spare Parts

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

I have been hanging on test parts that have been given to me for reviews, and been allowed to keep. So I have held on to them because, who the heck throws away good computer parts?
Again they were all free so they are not top end but they aren’t trash.
So I snapped together a complete computer using an old HP case.
The computer boots up fine.
The parts are now dated a bit. IDE hard drive and a single core 2.5 gig Pentium Processor and an AGP slot on the motherboard.
but the cooling is good and the boot up is fast and smooth. XP operating system.
I am considering making a contest here, or turning the computer into a Roku box type media center.
The computer is currently plugged into my little 19 inch LG tv right next to the cable box and dvd player. Nothing is passing through, like cable, or dvd player. Heck it isn’t even plugged into the internet yet. I may go wifi with this computer. Uncertain yet.
I do have other cases in the garage, but I kind of want to save those for the custom mod cases I will be doing pretty soon. but that case is very heavy. Has to be over 30lbs.

You tell me, just vote yes or no if I should give the computer away in a contest here on the tech review.

Low Cost Website Host

Posted onAuthorTruXter1 Comment

I Use Powweb Domain and Website hosting. ( in that link, Scroll to the bottom and see what the cost is. [$95 bucks two years].)
Simply because the cost is very low, and the storage is UNLIMITED . When they say unlimited, they mean it. I have well over 40 gigs worth of work online. My friends and other web designers who share tips and ideas with me, download and upload files files from my servers ftp channels, all of the time, at no extra cost to me or to them.
When you first register, the cost is half of their regular low price. I recommend you sign up for two years of the web host service from powweb. One year of service is very low, but after that year is gone, you back to the regular price of (not specific or 100% correct) just under $130 a year. So you register for two years and you come out dirt cheap for two years. and won’t have to mess with your domain updating for another year. Plus, search engines love websites that look like they will be around a while. Click the Low Cost Webhost link and just look at the cost.
It’s near impossible to beat that price. Unlimited emails,unlimited php scripts, Ftp logins you can build as big of a website as you want, with no limitations. You can build your website or have someone build your website for you, and never once be told that you can’t do something. You are fully unlimited on powweb.
This isn’t any Go-whatever Website with spammy banners. Don’t want banners? Fine, don’t make them.

If you have any questions of how to build your website Feel free to see my Webmaster tools Use that and come back as often as you need. I have many tips for website building.

 

Sopa Bill in Route

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Sopa Censored

Sopa Censored

A bill is being passed to change the way you are allowed to use the internet. this bill,law will prevent you from being able to warn people of what you witness.
Stop Online Piracy Act (sopa) bill is in route to be passed or dismissed. This bill will allow companies to make claim that another company’s website has items on their site that infringes their copyright. In turn, the accused site is required to remove said items, and the time frame to do so, is not much at all. Also to be shoved through at the same time is the bill for Net neutrality’s debate.
People are calling this a Censorship sweep. Internet communism, the beginning of NWO.
There are hacker groups talking about going on a huge hissy fit in the real world, while others are already digging up personal information of the people backing the bill. They want to see how they are connected to other events going on, and how involved they are in this passing of confinement laws.
If that is the case, I think I would quit working for those companies, or lead a group going on strike, just to prove I am not worth ruining the life of.

I myself am on a rickity fence. I see what some are trying to pass this sopa bill for, but I also see that the backers of the Sopa are near sited and not looking at the big picture of what the full potential outcome will be. They just see “ok good stuff for me, must mean success” but the end is one more confining scam that will silence people who need to speak.
I myself run a couple review sites. This one in fact. If I write about a company that seems to be doing people wrong, I should have legal open rights to warn others of what I had happen to , and let them test it out and see if it happens to them also. but by mentioning said company’s name I have stepped on their copyright and could face time in prison if the issue does not get resolved in a short time.
I know you are thinking that it should be slander, libel and many other regular laws. but you are missing out on YOUR side as the consumer. You are being a defeatist and saying that a company should have more rights than you. A company should be allowed to sell you items that are known to break easily, at a price that is regular with it’s competitors who might be of better quality.

We deserve the right to speak.

SOPA is a scam and will lead you into a consumer concentration camp of “tell me what I can enjoy next” maybe you are too near sited to see your lifetime that way. and probably don’t care for your children’s future. But someone needs to.

4 Chan Goes Down

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Internet bad boys of 4 chan are looking for a new place to go while their home site keeps popping off of the internet.
Many claim it is the act of rumored different hacker groups. Yet no one has come forward and claimed responsibility for the activity. Most likely no one will take the credit for it, and just leave the internet’s largest number of frustrated teens, to be frustrated. Downside is, this will probably lead to lots of different groups getting blamed and E-lynch mob

Moot, the creator of 4chan claims there is a ddos attack going on, and says it is coming from 1… yep 1 single user. This was posted across all pages of the site yesterday, in between crashes.

Most likely place to house the 4chan users, will most likely end up being Reddit. but count on the illegal conversations, ceasing.

Let’s see how creative the users of 4chan can be and how instinctive they are to realize if they are being duped into slaughtering each other, other groups who have similar activity, or end up congregating in a temporary spot that turns out to be a trap/sting. I believe the wise ones will not accumulate anywhere that saves data of the users. Not many places like that on the web though.

GTA V On Xbox 360 PS3 and PC

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

(This post was written in 2011, so Rockstar has made a couple changes)
Go to GTA5.com
you will be redirected to
http://astore.amazon.co.uk/jjteknetwork-21
Is where you find GTA5 on pc, 360 and ps3.
(That link is what the GTA5.com link redirects you to.)
The domain name gta5.com is registered to rockstar games The domain name has been registered for ten years.
As seen here you can see that GTA5.COM is registered to Rockstar games

This says that Grand Theft Auto five v has a chance of being produced for the pc. We all pretty much already know that gta v will come out for the xbox 360 and the PS3. Without a doubt. We can also assume that we will not be seeing gta v on the Nintendo Wii or the Wii U.

So.. The question is kind of answered. Will GTA V come out for the pc? I want want GTA v on the pc. You be the judge by just looking at the facts.

GTA V Audio Analysis

Posted onAuthorComputer Tweaker2 Comments

Working on Analysis of the Audio track of GTAV

Here is the Audio Track
Used 7Zip to compress. Should open fine with Winrar

For those of you on the GTA Forums website and all of the others
who are just wanting to know what sounds they can hear in the gta v
trailer and see what they can detect as locations or hidden gems
in the next coming grand theft auto. I stripped the audio best I
could with what little software I have.

at 8 seconds in, I hear a dog bark in the left channel.

at about 22 seconds you hear seagulls in all channels. at about 23 seconds on the right channel, you hear what sounds like an injured dog. almost a yalp, but more like a whimper. This could mean there is more than one audio recording of a dog included in GTA V. Meaning that a dog could play some sort of role in GTAV. What this role might be, I can not imagine.
If anyone can filter the audio for this track a bit better and break off the next bit of 18 seconds audio, please leave a link here and on the gtaforums site for everyone else to find, so they too can listen and see what they can find hidden for the game in the sound bit. I will gladly download and serve up as an alternative server.

One thing for sure, this video game, will not harm, kill or hurt near as many animals as PETA kills in a month. In fact, I can say that this game it’s self will not harm a single animal.

Comparison Video San Andreas vs GTA V

Posted onAuthorTruXter

In this Comparison Video San Andreas vs GTA V, the guy who put this video together, did lots of work and must have gone through plenty of edits, and mods or something to get this video just right.
You will see that he compares buildings, locations, scenes, signs and textures.
Excellent video.

So, compare for yourself. What do you think? big changes? not enough?
