  1. By the title I thought you were asking about Stay Frosty
  2. My dad's sisters refer to themselves as The Original Spice Girls.
  3. I have Sync as well and have had trouble "getting it". I suspect it needs more than the time I've spent(less than an hour) trying the various games out to understand what's going on. Maybe you should nominate Flow 4K for the HSC?
  4. Got back last night from the family reunion in Wisconsin. Weather was great, though all the Wisconsin folk were complaining about the humidity - while I was busy applying Burt's Beeswax to keep my lips from drying out Took a lot of photos with my new camera, a Panasonic DMC-TZ5A(the A means it has the blue case, which looks much better in person than the pictures of it). Besides photos it also takes videos, up to 1280x720. There's 7 movies scattered amongst the photos. The twins Mason and Logan were a handful - they'll be 2 next month on the 4th. I'm not sure how my brother & SIL keep up with 4 boys, though Justin(their eldest) helped out a lot. Brandin(nephew 2) was sporting a mohawk when I got there, so I got him some hair color for it. We were planning to get blue, but they were sold out so he picked green instead. It glowed quite vibrantly in pictures if the camera's flash went off. I picked up StarCraft BattleChest for Justin, and he's now addicted. He played on my MacBook while I upgraded their PowerMac G4 to Leopard. Had some issues with StarCraft on their system as StarCraft expects to be played on an Administrator account and Justin's on a managed account(parental controls). I figured out how to get it to work via sudo and wrapped it up in an Apple Script App so he can just double-click to start up a game. It took a while to figure out, so I'll be uploading instructions how to do it to my website later(I'm about halfway done with the page). By the time I left he'd finished the first 11 levels. We also played a couple games against each other. The flights to and from were not much fun. On the way up the 7 am flight from Houston was delayed by an hour as the flight crew arrived late the night before(FAA requirements for rest came into play). Because of the delay I had about 10 minutes to catch my connection in Detroit, and of course we arrived at the extreme end of terminal A and my connection was at the extreme end of terminal C. I high tailed it over and thankfully the departure was delayed, so I had 30 minutes to catch my breath The return flight out of Central Wisconsin Airport was on time, but I had a 3 1/2 hour layover that was extended another hour. Since I wasn't in a rush, I was able to take a video of the really cool Light & Sound show in the tunnel that connects Detroit's terminals.
  5. 10 I need to figure out how to get rid of the moire pattern from my new camera.
  6. A friend of mine wants a pair to "tweak with the peeps minds"
  7. it uses Driving Controllers, which came boxed with Indy 500. I suspect you'll have an easier time tracking them down separately nowadays.
  8. I've done mine - it looks this good: It also has stereo sound with the mod, which is why I made Medieval Mayhem with stereo sound.
  9. considering that Analog broadcasts are going away, it's entirely possible that the Atari will have to be AV modified to work on future TVs.
  10. While it's technically not cheating, the HSC rules do say :
  11. I dunno - how cool could it be w/out the dragon
  12. are you going to buy another Windows machine
  13. 28-2 Submit your first choice to Ze_ro - once that's been played you can submit your next one.
  14. I got to see The Planet's offices in Downtown Houston about a week ago. My friend's fiancée has been painting murals in their conference rooms based on the name of the room. She has a couple of them on her site - The Tank and The Hill. The Hill is a view of the location the offices are at, before the building existed - the 1930s, if I recall correctly. The Esperson Building can be seen in the background, it was built in 1927.
  15. Went with some friends to see it. Had a good time. The movie stopped playing at 1 point and we got to see the Windows start bar across the bottom of the screen for a brief moment before they got it going again. Audio was never out of sync though I was disappointed with the image; while it was clean, I could see scan lines! I get better a better picture on my 65" HDTV at home and it's only 1080i, not 1080p.
  16. Agreed, I got 225K in 40 minutes which comes out to about 3 hours. Not sure how I estimated 4 1/2 before
  17. 8K cartridges use F8 bankswitching, the hotspots in F8 do not overlap the NMI vector.

  18. The class changed - it's now jstella.applet.JStellaApplet.class
  19. 225,530. Pretty easy game, decided to turn in for the night and stopped playing with all my lives remaining. Took 40 minutes to get here, so I estimate about 4 1/2 hours to roll it. Don't think I'll spend the time to do so.
