This weekend has been more productive than usual as far as computer projects go (I have an associates degree saying I’m skilled in the field so I might as well put it to practice). I’ve played around on my laptop out in the living room and managed to get a few service to work with Chromecast through Chrome, except for Hulu because for some reason there is no web function for the device or Chrome. I couldn’t go all out because the app for Chromecast is only compatible for Windows 7 and up, but at least the Googlecast extension made things easy. Another little project I wanted to try was getting Steam Big Screen but since Vista SP2 does not react to Toshiba machines very well that function is kind of out of the question. Another issue that stopped me from playing Steam on the projector TV was trouble finding the VGA cable we had before. So in short Steam TV is on hold.
One project that was a success was getting Minecraft to work and save on a flash drive. I might add Technic to the drive since my friend likes to play a modded server from time to time. Not sure if the script for the batch file will be different considering that the launcher boots up different mods. But if I do get this to work then I got something better than a Gameband. This would have been cool if I did this in college, or if the majority of the classes weren't stereotypical adults...
That’s about it for the weekend. Birthday is coming about and I better prepare for the battles ahead.
It seems Minecraft works on or with anything. I see kids in the library every day playing it in a browser.
I'm surprised the kids at the library don't have their own devices that plays Minecraft.
A Middle School is right across the street and they come in after school and take up all the computers playing Minecraft with each other. It's pretty funny really.
I guess it wasn't so different when Runescape hit the scene. Hell, when the Internet was accessable at my school I spent my study hall hours in the library.
I don't think I was ever in the computer room at High School. I went in one in college though, but it was just for computer programming majors. I don't think there were ones in the library at the time for free use. I thought about it the other day as I went into the library for my regular computer time. I only come in there to use the computers. I hardly ever go to the book shelves. But then I also do my book loans through the computer, so I have the librarians go get the books for me. Ha ha.
I never got into Minecraft. Tried it... it was cool but not for me.
Happy birthday man! Mine is coming up on Wednesday!
Happy birthday.
I actually rarely play Minecraft but I'm trying to get back into the habbit.
