Who's Aston is that then?

monkeymax · May 2nd, 2007, 05:27 PM

Dan, where'd you get the camera car mount thing from? I'm looking to get something similar myself... going to be doing a few trips later this year I'd love to get some nice shots from!
I hope you've got the securing strap for it as a backup too!

That pic with the long poles - surely the middle one is going to be in the shot?!

Shadowness · May 2nd, 2007, 09:47 PM

Yeh the poles will be in the shot. I doubt you can get a shot without them in it, its all about being cunning when removing them ie. taking pics without them and 'pasting' them into photoshop.
I got it from a company called B-Hague Ltd. Google it and you should find it images/smilies/smile.gif

P.S. I have no idea who's the Aston is, its just an example shot of the rig in action.

Got it broken in and took it to a local dirt track, was working very well until the wheel fell off images/smilies/sad.gif

. I shouldn't have trusted the shop to bolt it together right, I checked the other wheels after and they were finger loose. Unfortunately I now need a new nut as it flew off somewhere into the bushes.

I asked Halfords to put new tyres in mine when they fixed it, they did but forgot to glue them onto the rim, I floored it when I got it back and well the result wasn't very nice..........

I R JAELOSS!

CyberMonkey · May 4th, 2007, 01:00 PM

Cool thingie indeed, shame it doesn't have a numpad :/ Which makes it not practical for a desktop and useless for a portable.

aye the numpad thing was a consideration at first but i rarely use it to be fair. If i do find myself missing one then its quite easy to get just a numpad on its own that can be hidden away discreetly when not in use images/smilies/smile.gif

matt2000 · May 6th, 2007, 04:10 PM

well i had this installed yesterday:

3 hours of Takeshi's Castle W00T!

chaos386 · May 6th, 2007, 04:44 PM

Just bought this about an hour ago:

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/5474/scanner1rv1.jpg

http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/4360/scanner2sd3.jpg

It's a Canon LiDE 25 scanner. It's thin, light, powered via USB, wasn't too expensive, and it works under Linux! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Well, sort of. Due to some bugs in Feisty's USB code, I can't use XSane to scan things; I have to use the command line. images/smilies/dry.gif

Just like my 8800GTS.

It works under Linux...If you know Linux as well as Linus Torvalds himself.

Oh Linux, will you ever work out of the box?

stuntfreak · May 7th, 2007, 02:34 PM

Now i can finally wirelessly play my games on my pc with a decent controller images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Buba · May 7th, 2007, 09:50 PM

You didn't get the pack, but it it separetly?
The driver still sucks, I can't get the 2 triggers to work as 2 separate axes... It does on the 360...

Adunaphel · May 8th, 2007, 06:50 AM

I bought it as a pack of course, but i couldn't find a shot of the pack anywhere on the interwebs images/smilies/smile.gif

I like it, i can FINALLY play LEGO Star Wars II images/smilies/mrgreen.gif
