Seems like the blog is not reading the site setting for time.

Ill fix this quick

Site is looking good so far Dae

Dont compliment me, compliment maxxis, he made it

I'm just putting up the content like pics and so on, so if you like THAT stuff, thanks

Big update guys. Been working my butt off. The site is almost done. One or two things i still need to do, iron a few things out, but it's almost done.

I've posted a full description on all my mods, as well as links to my sponsors and the first modding guide is up. That guide is a more detailed version of the one that will appear in the August PCFormat.

Have a look and let me know what you think so far please

DAEJAVOO.com

the site is looking great so far

DJV, site is taking shape and looking really really great. congrads.

PFS*

Who should I congratulate the most?

DaeJaVoo or Maxxis?

great job both of you!

Cool man, sites looking good!

Thanks Guys

jcd, you should congratulate maxxis for the site itself, and me for everything ON the site

Dae ja voo. Your led mod guide is good, but you need to specify the LED voltages, as well as the resistor values. Saying you need 2 resistors in parallel and one in series is completely arbitrary - you could just as well use one resistor if it had the desired resistance! Rather say, 'because I only had resistors with value X, I connected 2 in parallel and 1 in series to achieve the desired resistance Y'.

I actually went and found out ALL the exact specs of the resistors and LEDs that i used, and it IS in the guide moses

1K resistors, 3.5V LEDs.

Oh, I saw it now! Yeah, good enough. I suppose your guide is aimed at the layman, but it probably wouldn't hurt to mention that a single 1.5k resistor would also do the trick!

LOL!! How am i supposed to know that!?

Are you sure about that though? Can i add that to the guide?

Yeah! That combination you used is equivalent to a single 1.5k resistor. Test it with a multimeter! Measure across the whole section, should be 1.5k. Two 3k resistors in parallel would also be equivalent to a single 1.5k resistor.

Theory:

two resistors (X and Y) in series are added like this:

X + Y (eg. 3 + 3 = 6)

two resistors (X and Y) in parallel are added like this:


1/(1/X + 1/Y) eg. 1/(1/3 + 1/3) = 1.5

Yup, it is 1.5K

What moses is trying to say is this:



And then after you added the values to your right you swop the top value with the bottom one to get R

Wow, i actually did all of that crap in school, never thought i'd implement it in real life (not that i did, you guys did it for me )

Thanks Moses, i'll add it now. Check again in 5 minutes

Hey dudes!

Just thought I'd let you know - my website has undergone a complete upgrade! I've spent a lot of time on this update, so please do check it out.

I decided to go with an upgrade now, as modding is really, really taking off for me. I'm doing big projects (NAG) and I've been offered even bigger sponsors now (Dremel), so I really feel like an upgrade is necessary.

Please go ahead and visit the site and let me know what you think. I'd love it if you guys could test some stuff for me too. Post some comments, link to facebook/twitter, etc, let me know if everything is working fine

A little screenie:

Very nice dude, huge upgrade that!

Neat!

Thanks guys! Play around with some of the stuff if you have time, please

Some of the pictures on your camera are blurry, maybe check the lens for oily spots. Is it a canon or sony ericsson?

You mean depth of field? Its intentional.

Do sony ericsson make SLRs?

Anyway, yeah, the Depth of Field is intentional. The aperture on the first Atari shoot was way too open though, I know.

I don't understand why people find depth of field so appealing. It ruins the pictures but thats my opinion. Anyway, good luck with you web site

Cool, thanks man
