To xbox or not to xbox

I have been persuading/debating with Tom at work over getting an xbox 360 for a while now and today we went into game to check them out. It looks like we could pick up a pr0 pack with GOW for about £300 and the nice chap there said he would include another remote and PGR for free... which was nice. The idea of playing online with Tom and some other friends that have them was cool, however it was only when I saw, and then watched some info on GRAW2 that I got really excited. It took me back to my SOCOM days on the ps2 which were awesome, and playing with people I know would only make it even more fun. Especially now I'm not living with a load of other gamers and game nights are quite hard to arrange, plus COD2 at work is getting a little old and work more stressful. So if you have any advice let me know as I could do with the finial push... as I'm teetering over the edge...

Having done quite a bit of work in Flex recently it came to the point when putting it in SVN was getting more and more important. However it wasn’t as simple as I thought it would be. It appears that when you compile in flex builder many of the files are moved around into temp folders [...]

Mac Mini HDMI output nightmare

This weekend I have spent far too much time trying to get my mac mini to display on my HDTV. I have a Philips 32inch HD ready tv which works fine when I plug it into my MacBook Pro. Just plug it in and there it is. When I plug the mini in there is no picture [...]
