So I have started to get back into the grove of things and as such I will finally be able to make some mod videos for everyone. But first step, I need to get some tools tested so I know how to make the videos and get everything set and ready to go. Here is what I am currently testing:

Video Recorders:

1. Fraps

2.WeGames recorder

3.Taksi Video capture

4.ZDsoft Game recorder

5.CamStudio

6.Camtasia

7.GameCam

And for each I will be writing a review and making a demo video of some Counter-Strike: Source footage or Team Fortress 2 Footage. Yes I know I could just make Demo’s in both of these games but not all games support Demo record / Playback so seeing as I play a lot of these games I will test using them. If you have any other programs that I should test then please send me a email (zechtech@hotmail.com). I would be glad to do some testing for you. After I do the recording tests, then ill move to editor testing.

Have a great day and I look forward to getting some emails.

So many have forgotten about the click wheel ipods because the itouch and iphone is all the rage now days.

However a dedicated team of hackers have finally made some progress, the nano 2G can finally use rockbox to some very limited capability from what iv read, Rockbox is an alternate Firmware for you ipod that lets you use it for much more.

They are working hard and hopefully they will make even more progress, Go check them out!

I know I know there has not been any updates on here in a while and I apologize. Between moving and my trip to FL it has been a very hectic month. Soon I will be moving into an office or apartment not sure what one yet and then the site will resume to normal. Oh and if anyone ever has the option to get satalite internet over DSL or anything else… DONT!!!! IT SUCKS MAJOR ASS. Anyway have a good one guys

Ok so before I go to florida I have to put a new radio in my truck.

Currently I drive a 1999 Ford F150 with stock everything. Well the stock radio SUCKS.

So I am going to go out and install new speakers in the door and the back panel. Along with a sub and amp behind the seat.

I am also installing a head unit and possibly down the road some other fun stuff.

I am going to start this tomorrow and will take pictures of everything and explain how it was done.

Look for that post very very soon

Well everyone I have been wanting to do this since I moved to kentucky and it looks like I am finally going to be able to.

This weekend I am heading to florida for a week and am going to be going to the parks as well as spending some time with family

In this week time the posts will hopefully keep going but they may be a bit late depending on how tired I am when I get back to the hotel to sleep

In any event have a good labor day weekend I know I will.

Tip for everyone today will be if you get hugesnet then make sure to schedule your downloads around the normal unmetered hours of 2am and 7am central time.

Sorry moving sucks and prevents normal posting. It will get better soon…
