Downloading the latest ATI Catalyst drivers now.

If you don't hear me soon, it might be that the upgrade once again messed up and made Windows unable to boot at all...

Not quite, but near enough.

April 11th, wednesday, the cooler fan of my Ati Radeon X1900 XT died, stopped, went silent, whatever else you can describe it as.

When the fan was working correctly, the temperature of the card could be around 60 °C after several hours of Oblivion.

Currently the temperature is at 84 °C when the computer is idle! If I go to DxDiag's Direct3D test, for example, it still goes at 999 fps (or more, the limit of Fraps is 999), but after the test Catalyst Control Center shows that the temperature is 96 °C.

It's still okay, as the drivers give me warnings when the temp goes over 110 °C, and even still it is not letting the smoke out (everybody knows that it does not run with electricity, it runs with smoke and as the smoke gets out it stops working).

Well, I ordered myself a new Zalman VF900-Cu cooler from only4pro.com. If everything goes well, it should drop in to the local post office after 15 hours from the point I have posted this blog entry. Until then it's no gaming for me; I don't want to fry up the rather expensive card (hey, I am a student with very little income!).

Another subject then. There has been some problems with the popup script for EventScripts I have written. I committed two additional releases tonight, I hope the release 5 (the current one) is a properly working one...

The link of the night today will be... Ati Catalyst drivers RSS feed, for all you Ati lovers

PS. If you did not notice, you can click on the temperatures on my post to see Google convert them into Fahrenheits, in case you understand those better.

You might live in west, but I live easter than you.

My knees hurt from this position I am sitting in, so I will not type out a long message tonight and let myself sleep.

Popup Abr3 was released earlier, btw, if anyone knows what that is.

The link of night shall be sneak peak to Logitech QQ FPS Xfire event which will happen 363 days ago: http://www.xfire.com/cms/xf_event_logi_qq/

I'd so like to follow the match between Team3D and Verge.

I have to somehow remotely start video stream capturing on my computer 200 km away. (That's what the blog title refers to)

The link of the night goes with the event: http://www.eglnetwork.com/stride/

I managed to release second beta version of Popup library.

I also improved LS forums, now there are different categories and also subcategories of unlimited depth

Night #2 of Xfire Blogs for me.

I have been very busy coding a popup library for Mattie's EventScripts since the day ES 1.5 (codename Artichoke) will be released is very close.

Still, I have to do my university studies and give over the priority to them. Making a nice code for free to an awesome community will not make up my grades, but doing the boring excercises do.

Good thing though it is Easter holiday after this last study day.



The link of the night this time shall be my little site: http://godjonez.dyndns.org/

Don't be angry if it does not work 100 %, it uses my own LS language to generate the pages. If you visit it, please express yourself in the "forums".

I am fairly sure someone is reading this very soon and some people a big time later if ever.

But that does not matter, as according to Kevin I might be bored as I am typing this thing up here.

Anything to comment, feel free to.
