Whats been happeng the last few days? well ive been VERY busy.. its just days to go now til we get married and fly to Spain 😀 Ive been workin everyday as the other chap on my dept has been in Turkey..so Sat was my first day off! So.. I spent a couple of hours with my old friend PHP and came up with 15 lines of the coolest code!
Its going to be a map/mod download script for the online FPS gaming community but it could be used for basically any downloads that change date..

for example you have a DIR that you release your maps/mod updates into..you open the script in that DIR and it automagically shows you the latest file..its filesize..gives you a link to download it..and even starts the download after 5 seconds!! Also the script shows all the other files in the DIR with download links incase you need an older version or another map.

I’m not quite sure of a name for this script, its early days yet..just the core at 15 lines of code :O I’m open to suggestions about improvements or integration into other scripts/sites. I’m going to release it as an early alpha.

So I installed it again! Why? Well ASUS decided to release a beta bios update which was reported to solve the problem i was having with my second geforce card. Before Vista would just give a code12 error which means it cant spare resources for the second card..bummer, but the new beta bios update soves it so i just had to try it!
So now i have 100% workin SLI graphics 100% working sound…and even my printer/scanner work OMG! so thats it im going to shrink my XP partition and migrate to Vista 🙂

As a side note PCLinusOS2007 test release4 is due out tonite, ive been using TR3 and its VERY nice and it has a really good liveCD well worth trying out if you have never had the balls to try anything other than Bills crappy software.

I found this posted posted in the nvnews forum its funny 🙂

Whenever people talk about The Ten Commandments, a film I made 50 years ago with a fellow named Cecil B. DeMille, they go on and on about the impressive “special effects.” So let me take this opportunity to set the record straight: I performed all my own miracles in that picture, so if you’re going to praise someone, it should be me.

Looks like Microsoft released an update for DirectX9c then suddenly removed it from their servers for no reason…anyway I found a mirror http://www.filehippo.com/download_directx/ This version is dated April 2007. I installed it and so far have found no issues.

Well an updated version was released by the author overnight which included it producing valid XHTML so…gutted!
