The XIM has arrived

My XIM kit finally arrived (and no problem from customs too ). I’ve played Halo 3 briefly with it and all seems to be working quite well. I need some time to tweak it obviously but it seems promising. More update on this later…

Back from Singapore

Finally got back from SG. Overall, a pretty useful and technical training, I’m sure it will be useful on current and future projects. Special thanks to Ajon n Ajun for keeping me company while I was there, thanks guys

Goin' to Singapore...again

I will be departing to Singapore for company training this Sunday. I don’t know if I’ll have internet access on the training site or not, so if I don’t reply to your e-mails for the next 5 days, this is the reason. I’ll be back to Jakarta on Friday evening

Version 1.7 delayed

Seems I have to delay the release of version 1.7. Found a problem with speakers/headphone switching method in Vista, but it shouldn’t be too hard to overcome

Back to work

Back to work, after quite a long holiday. Let’s see what I’ve accomplished:
- Finished Halo 3 on normal
- Upped XFMC to version 1.7, still a little bit more testing
- Redone the website
Not too bad…

Car broke down

This turns out to be a really bad day . Just tried to start my car and there’s no indicator light, nothing, everything went dark, even the horn does not work. Call in the mechanic and he said it’s a broken alternator and possible battery too. Damn, this is going to cost me

XIM Kit is coming... but not fast enough

Just ordered my XIM kit, shipping is supposed to be today or sunday at the latest. Add another 6-10 days to that before it finally got here, arrgh. I’m still waiting for the XFPS Pro too, but it should be here by monday. I can’t wait to try this. If this works well, I’ll give Gears of War another run on insane and those Locust horde will get the kicking they deserve
