New Monitor - LG 29EA73 29 inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor

Image
I don't normally do reviews on just products themselves, but thought i'd make an exception. I was in the market a few months ago for a new monitor and as the last time I bought one was over 5 years ago much had changed (both how I use a computer and what is available). I mostly multitask between coding, emulators, emails, web and chat which means I need a lot of screen real estate to avoid alt-tabbing every 2 seconds. The monitor I had at the time was a 24" Acer monitor which was fine, but was VGA driven and I have a Macbook Pro Retina  which required converting from DisplayPort to VGA. For reference, I have two brands of this converter, the official Apple one and a 3rd Party. Both are terrible and are prone to flickering and general crappiness. This more than anything coupled with not enough screen pushed me to get something different. So, after a few weeks of research I settled on the LG 29EA73 With it's super wide aspect ratio at 21:9 vs my old 16:9, I c...

How To Capture Audio/Video Content From A Console

Image
I posted this on my Uni's website and thought it was worth posting here as well. This howto concentrates on doing this with an xbox 360 using a composite connection. It can also be done with a S-Video connection but won't be covered. Composite: S-Video Step 1: You will need to have a video capture card or a graphics card with a built in VIVO (Video-In Video Out) system or a similar system. My graphics card (GeForce 4 4200) has a built in VIVO connection and came with a cable which allows the connection of a composite video connection (The yellow connector in the left picture above) or a S-Video connection (Pictured on the right). I've seen other graphics cards just come with a Composite Video-In connection, this will work just the same. Step 2: The VIVO system does not handle sound and neither will any graphics cards. The other two connectors on the composite connection (red and white connections above) are the left and right audio. You will need a cable which takes two co...

Scottish High School League Table 2021 Mapped

It's that time of year again when The Times , a news organisation, ranks all the high schools in Scotland. It has done this for a few years now, and it would seem that this years results could be quite controversial. On account of the exams not being sat in the same manner as previous years. Instead, exams were replaced with teacher estimates. Whether you agree with that or not, this is where we are. That aside, how does this work? Schools are ranked by calculating the percentage of pupils (students) who attain 5 or more Highers for that year for that school. It's not clear to me if you need to have received specific grades for those Highers, but on the surface, it would seem it doesn't matter. Simply the number of Highers rather than at which grade.  Apparently this is Nicola Sturgeon's "Gold Standard" but my quick look around Google couldn't find a quote on this. Have a source to share? Drop it into the comments. This "Gold Standard" however ha...
