Virtuality

When doing some disk clearing / archiving, I discovered an old MP3 format tune I made a couple of years ago. Thought I would put it online, in case anyone is interested.

The “sugar boat” is what I have heard it called. Apparently sunk in the ’60s. It is clearly visible from both sides of the river Clyde, Greenock and Helensburgh, and apparently from space, too.

Since Derek Murray posted about Google Map’s new satellite imagery of Paisley, I found that the inverclyde area is covered as well. Cheers Derek.

Flight simulators have always given me a great deal of enjoyment. I really want to begin learning to fly the simulators again - I haven’t flown simulators since before I came to Uni.

I always wanted to build a flight Yoke for the PC, but don’t really know where to start on such a project. My joystick is in mothball at my parents house, in Girvan.

Problem: I don’t have the money to buy a flight controller or joystick.
Solution: xBox controllers have 2 analog sticks, 2 triggers, 8 buttons and a 4-way directional pad.

Oh yes, I’ve heard it’s really a U.S.B. device.

The transferral was quite an ordeal - but of the kind that I really enjoy. Took 6 Hours. I’m tired now.

My selected challenges of the day:

Install and configure Wine (Subchallenge: Compile Wine for x86_64 Architecture)

Include mod_mono in my Apache2 installation, and develop a test ASP.NET web page.
