Inno3D GeForce GTX 275 OC Graphics Card Review

Posted in Video Cards on December 27th, 2009 by Admin

The funny thing about the GTX 275 is that it does kill a bit of the value for the GTX 285, which ultimately means that it’s not the best model for NVIDIA. For the user, however, it’s a different story. What you’re able to get is performance similar to the GTX 285 without having to [...]

Study: Logo computer language enhances creativity

Posted in Motherboards on December 26th, 2009 by Admin

An academic study published by the American Education Research Association found a significant improvement in creativity in students learning the Logo computer language.

The study, authored by Douglas H. Clements, tested 73 eight-year-olds before and after “treatment.” The treatment consisted of 25 weeks of 1. Logo computer programming; 2. non-Logo creativity lessons; and 3. no similar lessons, a control.

The results: “After 25 weeks of treatment, the Logo programming group had significantly higher scores than either of the other groups on the total assessment of figural creativity, and both the Logo and comparison group had significantly higher scores than the control group on verbal creativity.”

The Logo computer language was developed at MIT to teach reasoning to kids. It does a great job! Teachers know what a marvelous teaching tool Logo is. And now homeschoolers have the opportunity to use this for their kids! Logo Adventures, a MotherboardBooks.com curriculum, specifically sparks creativity and reasoning in kids aged 8 to 12.

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2

Posted in Motherboards on December 25th, 2009 by Admin

I bought DDR Hottest Party 2 a week ago because I really liked its predecessor and was looking forward to the new songs.  I didn’t have a chance to play it until today because I got sick that evening, but I did have plenty of time to read through the manual between bouts of violent puking, so I was looking forward to it. :)

After playing the game for one day, I’d rate it as “ok”.  There are some improvements over Hottest Party, but so far my overall impression is that it’s slightly worse.  The nice changes I noticed include new songs (obviously!), more detailed stages (with fancy lighting), shorter dead times after finishing a song, it saves your settings, and new moves for the characters.  It also has a few music video backgrounds (replacing the normal animated dancers). Things I don’t like so much are the audience sounds and the dance mat.

Having it save settings is fantastic.  I play with the hand markers off, and with Hottest Party I had to change that option every time I played.  Hottest Party 2 remembers my choice.

The idea of an audience cheering is good, and it could have been done well.  The problem is that as far as I can tell there is only one recording they use every time.  During the actual gameplay it’s ok because you’re busy actually dancing, but after you finish a song, you get to hear the same cheer repeated a few times (when you finish, on the screen indicating that you’ve unlocked a new character, on the screen indicating that you’ve unlocked a new stage, etc).  It would get annoying when watching a friend play too.  I recorded one song as an example:

Just the cheer sections

The whole song (~2 minutes)

I haven’t found a way to disable the cheering.  Maybe I find it more annoying than most people do, but it really bugs me!

I had a lot of trouble with the new dance mat.  I bought the version that came with a new mat because my old one does occasionally miss steps (it’s rare, but when you’re going for a full combo it matters) and it’ll be nice to have an extra around for multiplayer.  The new mat is missing a ridiculous number of steps – it seems like it won’t record a step if I’ve been standing on the arrow for a few seconds before trying to quickly step on it (I have to keep my weight off the arrow for a good chunk of a second).  After about 15 minutes I got tired of it and switched back to my old mat.  I’m not sure if the foam in the new one is slow to expand, or if it hasn’t been out of the box (i.e. unfolded) for long enough, but no matter what the problem is, this would make for an unpleasant Christmas morning for a child.  Hopefully after I leave it sitting flat and play on it a few more times it’ll start working better.

Some of the covers are pretty unfaithful to the originals, so there’s no guarantee that you’ll actually enjoy playing songs you like (e.g. Don’t You Forget About Me).  Some are pretty good and retain the feel of the original (e.g. Obsession).

There were a couple other changes I noticed.  The navigation in circuit mode is strange.  You spin some sort of cylinder thing, and the different stages cycle around it.  After you clear one level, you move up to the next level.  I don’t understand if each of these stages has a single challenge or a sequence… it’s just odd.  It doesn’t affect gameplay at all.  The other thing I noticed: I had a slightly hard time seeing some of the gimmicks during gameplay.  I may just not be used to picking them out yet, but it’s frustrating to miss a foot missile because you just didn’t notice it.

Beginners Guide: Computer Repair (Part 3)

Posted in Hard Drives on December 24th, 2009 by Admin


www.geeksontime.com

To junk some of your unused files and clean the Windows registry, you have to grab yourself a cleaner software program. Once you have this program, just close all of your applications and open the software. Click on “Clean Now” and you will see that the program will remove almost all of the temporary programs or files in your machine, which are normally the cause of many common problems. Then you will see the result on the screen on how much files were removed.

Then, click on the “Repair Errors” button. Click “Scan for Errors,” and when the process is complete, just click “Fix Errors” and it’s all complete. Restart the machine and if the problem is not yet fixed, you already have a more serious problem which needs a technician to troubleshoot it for you.

CPU failure

Posted in Hard Drives on December 18th, 2009 by Admin

pctt4.jpgIf you experience frequent CPU failures and get feedback from the store that the power supply has blown. Try to get a larger capacity or higher rated power supply. You might have too many devices hooked up to the power supply (internal and externally) both of which take power from the same power supply if they have no individual power adapter. Say if you have a 300 or 400 watt power supply, try getting hold of a 500 watt or higher model and try to get the bit pricy one so it would last. Repetitive power supply failures can cause damage to the internal parts of your CPU and even the board itself which has built in fuses to protect the Microprocessor unit itself from such damage. If the board has also failed, you would have to get another board to transfer the cpu onto.

The Apple II Gets a Music Keyboard

Posted in Sound Cards on December 17th, 2009 by Admin

When I started this blog, I imagined I would be focusing almost exclusively on software/programming, a) because I don’t have the skills to attempt my own hardware hacks and b) because I wanted to explore what has/could be done with an Apple II that was not enhanced with expansion cards (outside of the pretty standard 64k aux memory card).

Well, I was wrong.  Or rather, I discovered that while a) and b) are still true, I am also c) VERY interested in enhancing the Apple II with hardware when it comes to sound.  Inspired by the 8 bit Sound and Fury site, I acquired a Mockingboard and started looking around for a more complex set-up that would include a music keyboard I could use to make real-time synthesized music on the Apple II.

Several weeks ago I bought a set-up that realizes this wish.  It includes the Passport Designs Soundchaser keyboard and accompanying interface card and software, and the two Mountain Computer Music System cards that actually do the music synthesis.  I also picked up a Decillionix DX-1 Sound Sampling card at the same time.

Here you can see the Music System cards (connected to each other by their alarmingly thin white ribbon) in slots 4 and 5, and the Soundchaser interface card in slot 7 (behind the Music System cards you can see the Mockingboard and the DX-1):

Here’s the Soundchaser keyboard with its software running in the background.  The rainbow ribbon in the lower left runs from the Soundchaser interface card into the keyboard.

The Soundchaser’s software interacts with the Music System cards to play two sounds simultaneously whenever you hit a key.  The two sounds (oscillators) each have separate envelope parameters (attack, decay, sustain, release) that can be tweaked in real-time, and there’s also a Low Frequency Oscillator effecting both sounds that likewise can be tweaked real-time.  In addition, three basic waveforms (one for each sound + one for the LFO) can be separately edited.  All of that means there’s quite a lot of flexibility and fun to be had in playing around with the various settings to produce different sounds.  (This seems in stark contrast with the software that came with the Music System cards – its default sounds are horrible and tweaking them seems fairly laborious — it seems like the Soundchaser folks did some careful thinking about how to get better sound out of the Music System than the Music System’s original creators did.)  Once you have tweaked a particular voice to your liking, you can save its settings to disk as a Preset to be recalled again.  10 Preset voices (default or your own) are loaded at any one time, and you can switch between them while playing.

The DX-1 Digital Sampling card, which I hadn’t rabidly wanted like the keyboard (I almost didn’t get it), ended up being quite versatile.  It can hold up to 8 digital samples at once (the total depends on the size of the individual samples), and comes with three sets of example samples on its accompanying disk.  It actually has a very clean sound and responds great to real time, musically-pitched playing (triggering) via the Soundchaser keyboard. I haven’t tried sampling an original sound yet, I need to buy a proper cable for that.

The following example recording is a sloppy mess, but it gives you an idea of some of the sounds the Soundchaser and DX-1 are capable of.  This was mostly recorded one track at a time, with a little double-tracking on the Apple II via the Soundchaser software’s 4-track recording feature.  The drums are the DX-1 in ‘rhythm mode’ (ie, a loop) – occasionally played backwards (a DX-1 feature), and the bass line and first (and sporadically recurring) lead are both DX-1 samples being played in real-time via the Soundchaser.  All the other sounds are produced by the Soundchaser software via real-time playing of the keyboard.

(Download ‘The Awkward Party’)

Anyway, with this fun new gear, I hope to produce a new bit of Apple II music every month for the Mozomedia Music Podcast, starting with the June episode.
