The Harley of graphics cards

21st April 2008, Technology0 Comments

So the graphics card that came with my Precision 390 was a rather noisy NVidia Quadro. So I upgraded. £600 later I’m the proud owner of a Quadro FX 3500. Yes, renders those heavy duty games really fast and clear but my God what a noise. It’s like a hoover constantly in the background, to the extent I’m going to downgrade to another card just to shut the computer up.

While searching for the problem i came across the below, couldn’t have put it better myself.

Move or Copy?

Great to see this old fuck up of Microsoft’s persists even through XP and make it to Vista. I’m sure I first saw this last century:

It’s wonderful to know that even with their army of coders, you can always be sure the process machine will always let you down in the most human of ways. For the record, the question gets asked when you try to drag files over a network VPN. The bottom line is you can only copy, not move.

The answers are right, the question woeful.

Going mobile

I’ve been knee deep in the web for as long as I know. Abandoning my graphics and Flash projects for the semantic web and standards driven CSS. But the proliferation of Flash Lite onto most phones has got my head turning again.

I think my first project will be to port retro classic Manic Miner onto my phone. That should teach me the ropes. More soon.

Take, take, take

This breaks my heart. Mark has created a wonderful piece of software which has revolutionised the forum as we know it. He’s tried and failed to make money from it so has tried a couple of links and stuff to see what that generates - and from the sounds of things he’s getting cussed for it. This is a sad thing to witness. I’ve experience negative attitudes while contributing the GoogleMapDirectory and you have to wonder who these baddies are? They never seem to contribute just moan. Grrr.
