1 down, 1 to go.

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

Just bought Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, so I have atleast 1 game for sure on friday. The game got quite some good reviews, but my main game will be Project Gotham Racing 3.

Now the only thing else I need is the Xbox 360 itself ;)

Xbox 360 Launched. eBayers go wild!

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

Today, the Xbox 360 launched in the US.

I just checked eBay to see what people would bid on systems. I’m stunned: some people are willing to pay over $2000! Just to illustrate, the two systems in the screenshot are now up to $1375 and $1802, with 14 minutes to go….

Glad I pre-ordered mine with a garuantee to get it on launch date. But if you really want to get it on launch date, and have 2000 EUR ca$h to spent, you can always contact me!

Lynx: Command Injection Vulnerability

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

Just found out that the good old lynx has a security flaw. WTF ?!

(yeah, IE has a zero day exploit as well today. but that’s not news)

World Wide Television

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

As I mentioned before, I sometimes “preview” episodes of TV-Series that are not broadcasted in the Netherlands for months. Biggest issue is keeping track of all the episodes, which you have watched and which you haven’t watched yet.

Today all my problems were solved when I found TVTAD, an RSS feed reader with support for unlimited feeds. It will automatically download newly released TV episodes that have been added to your favorites. Try it yourself!

Project Gotham Racing 3 on Xbox 360

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

While I still won’t be able to play most of my current xbox games on the Xbox 360, I noticed the first reviews coming in for 360 launch titles. Seems my personal favorite is becoming the overall must get title. The only game with a 10 sofar.

If you’re getting only 1 game at launch, this should be that game…” See you online in Xbox live on december 2nd!
