*UPDATED AGAIN*
As the title says, I have updated my raffstar bot. Made some little tweaks here and there:
**!I think I fixed the problem where it wouldn't close out of IE!**
*Checks and waits to see if the timing is off and you need to wait a few more seconds to get a another ticket.
*Fixed some clicking errors
*other clicking and timing stuff.
If you win anything please let me know. I would also like to know where/what the other bot or bots are. If you know anything please send me an email.
I've read some stuff on raffstar that they have implemented "security measures" to prevent cheating. So far my account has NOT been flagged, as far as I know. It could be my bot runs like a normal person or because I don't use it religiously. If I'm using my computer I will cancel the bot. So I miss quite a few tickets. I'm still usually in the top 50 of the amount of tickets I have. And have had the chance to win a prize. I just didn't claim it in time. Either way it doesn't seem to be detected (yet)
Updated the raffstar bot...again
Another shirt and links!
I've created another shirt! I can tell by the way you are reading this, that you are very excited. So, I'll stop rambling on and present the link to the glorious garment.
I like Penguins
As you should be able to notice, its based off the I like Turtles shirt, but using my 3D penguin. But then it makes it I like Penguins, because, it has a penguin on it instead of a turtle. Get it?
If anyone out there has bought any of my shirts I would love to see some pics of you wearing it. I didn't mean that to sound as creepy as it did. I'd just like to see my work out in the world.
Also here is a list of some of the random sites I visit everyday:
more of the same shirts
I opened up another store at printfection.com. Just testing it out and see if its any better than cafepress. It seems they do have more options and more colors.
Here's my link for the turtle shirts
UPS customer service awesome
This is one of the few times where someone is going to say something good about a company:
I sent in a friends Xbox to Microsoft. I was supposed to get it back on Thursday, but I was at work. So they left a note and everything and was going to try and deliver it on Friday. Well I called and tried to make pickup arrangements but the driver wouldn't be back to the pickup office before they close or I got off of work. So they ended up giving me the driver's name (Travis) and cell phone number so I could meet up with him after I got off of work. Everyone on the phone was really nice and helpful and they were very personal (as in they called me back a few times after trying to setup different arrangements). Needless to say I met up with Travis at a gas station on my way home (after going to the wrong gas station) and picked up the package. Everyone was REALLY nice and helpful and I just wish I would have thought at the time to offer to buy him lunch or something.
Fall 2009 Dashboard Update
I went to play COD4 tonight and low and behold it started to download an update. Apparently I was selected to participate in the beta test of the new dashboard update. Overall it looks pretty much the same. Most of the changes are minor. I have a new "channel" called Xbox Preview. In there lists the new features which are:
- Party Reconnections
- Streamline Party Invites
- Gold Member veterans-your gamer card shows how long you've been a gold member
- Subscription notification
- fixing invalid windows live ids
- better account recovery
- avatar props-it seams you unlock these from games
- avatar marketplace-you can buy clothes for you're avatar. some look pretty cool, they're 80mp for say a pair of steampunk glasses. which I HAD to buy, but thats IT, damnit.
- Avatar awards- it seems you'll be able to unlock clothing and the props from getting certain achievements in games. Which seems a lot better than having to buy the damn clothes.
- watch netflix in a party
- browse netflix content faster based on previously watched
- better playback
- shows what you are watching in the Friends channel
- ability to override display formats for dvi and hdmi
- user ratings for all game content
- Games on Demand-xbox originals, and it sounds like they may have xbox360 games to download. also game manuals for games on demand on xbox.com
- DRM stuff- seems you still can take your profile to someone else's xbox, buy a game, then recover your profile on your account and redownload the game and you both can play.
- community games are now called indie games
- launch a game from the achievement browser
- achievement tracking- an all games view which shows a summary of achievements from all games played
- better achievement browser
- more "links" for common items such as, downloads, redeem code, auto sign-in, create profile and recover gamertag
- warning if no audio when sending a voice message-small feature but definitely will keep me from looking like a dumbass.
- time stamps on memory area-such as for saved games
- friends list sorting by activity, gamertag, or online status
Downloaded episodes not playing correctly on Xbox360
For episodes you download from groups DOT or XII, re-encode them with GotSent so they play correctly on the Xbox360.
For about a month now, some groups have been releasing tv episodes that were encoded differently and they do not play correctly on the Xbox360. When playing one of these videos it will play about 2 mins then the video stops but the audio continues. The only way to fix this problem is to either wait for another group to release the episode, which usually doesn't happen, or re-encode it. I've FINALLY found a REALLY easy solution for Xbox re-encodes. GotSent
You can use other methods for better control over quality and all that, but this is SUPER fast and really easy. Handbrake was taking 30 minutes for a 45 minutes show, and it still didn't work or looked horrible. GotSent took less than 3 mins and looks like the original and plays fine.
New Shirt
Just a quick little shirt:
If you can't tell, this is a SkiFree shirt; the old Microsoft game. Got the idea from joking around with Chey and thought I would actually make it.
Game can be downloaded here.
And I still need someone to fix my layout ;)
And a way to hack an IBM thinkpad 760xl bios password without an eeprom or sending it away, preferably for free.
Mame roms
Nifty Psx to Parallel converter
TrackerChecker-Checks to see if private trackers are having public registrations.
Just awesome-and my current project...sort of.
