PROJECT: Green Dragon | major delay | Updated 10/2

Me uses floppies!

 

hehe well i probably won't use it much... since I have a 128 mb memory stick and a 512 mb mp3 player. But I'll insert it anyway, in case I need it on my next mod I wont have any..

 

Still looking good mate.. Shame about that full back on the leds. Num nuts. Will keep an eye out on how things go

 

I've been having "technical dificulties of PC nature"
But, I'm back!

Keep it up, it really looks great.

Cheers,
Mike

 

I DO!!!!

theyr great for small file transfers

 

Ahum
ever heard of a USB memorystick?

 

Those require drivers on anything 98 (1st edition) or below, Don't think they work on NT either.

Believe me, we use floppy disks at work a lot due to this reason

Looking nice

 

maby you can suggest to run win 2k?

ontopic: Whens the next update?
its taking to long
WE WANT MORE!
WE WANT MORE!
WE WANT MORE!

 

Too expensive to legally upgrade every computer in the building to 2k.

And with a vague attempt to get this back on topic:

FrozenCPU seems to be a pretty reputable store, I've never heard of them doing anything quite this stupid. Maybe you should just ask for a refund and get the LEDs somewhere else.

 

update please... I would like to see the project come full circle. Everything is outstanding so far.

 

thanks a lot everyone.. but I am affraid you have to wait till friday for any updates... because I have homework up to my neck! I'm a little behind in C++ so I have to work like a jackass to make the deadline. besides, on friday, my mon arrives with my parts from norway

 

I WANT IT TO BE FRIDAY!!

darn didnt work

 

Fridays tomorrow


Cheers,
Mike

 

so do you hug your mom then ask for your parts or do you just knock poor mom over to get to your parts???

 

Update time

Hi guys, I promized you an update on friday, and today it's friday...



my mom arrived earlier today with the parts I ordered. but I am quite dissapointed, but quite pleased as well

Dissapointments:

First.
I had ordered (at least intended to order) one meter of 1/2" (id) tubing. but due to a mistake i made, I got a meter of 3/8" tube. I'm probably sligthly retarded because I had written "1 meter of 1/2" (id) 3/8" (Id) tubing". now I wonder why i wrote 3/8" id also... I think I was going to write the OD.

Second.
NEVER buy corepad (a mousemat) it simply sucks!! I read a couple of magazines and reviews about the corepad. and it was best in test many places (beat icemat), so I decided to buy one. I had a one year old ice mat, and it was starting to be kind of worn out, so why not buy the one that was best in test?
i tried it for about half an hour, and decided that it wasn't worth aother minute. it is very inaccurate, and the pointer kind of mikes some small jumps when you move it. I also think the surface gives a more rough feeling when you move the mouse over it (even with mouse skates).

Now over to the Good thing

First.
I really like the display! i like the design and I like the gadget feeling i get when I look at it

(now showing the temp on my 3D card after a hard round of generals, and my hard drive (to the right)


yesterday, I cut away one cm of one of the edges of the "frosted" plexi, that is going to be attached behind the dragon door. i had to cut it because I wasn't able to close the door with the plexi inside.


I have also bought a supply of mesh for my next mod


That's it for now tomorrow I am going to snowboard in a indoor slope in the netherlands. so I won't be able to answer untill the evening.

 

Mmm, nice temp display, simply and clean, i love it

Btw. where are you going to snowboard in the netherlands ?

 

it's a huge building near or in Brunssum, I'm not too strong in netherland geography .

 

Ah..the power of IKEA

Edit: What's the product name for them? I didn't see anyone when I went to IKEA last...

 

looking good (verry good). I gona keep my eye on this thread. And coming back on the (who use's floppy's in this era), Floppy's are so fu@*ing usefull i will alway's have one in my PC. Keep it up dude and how was your trip here in my homeland?

 

hi cool to see you haven't forgotten my project well, today i actually did something on it. i just sprayed the edges of the top panel, and the floppy (now that you mention it), and two inverters.

the trip to snow world (in the netherlands) was great! i have been there one time before, but this time the "fun park" was open we filmed a couple of jumps, but it looks kind of awkward.

I have been in Rome the last 4 days so I haven't had time to do anything on my case till now. In Rome I saw something i found amusing, and I will post a pic in the next update.
