Finally got my VGA :)

I’ve been away from my blog for far too long now. I’ve been waiting for my VGA for 4 weeks or so. (After I ordered it.) And finally I got it. I should have written this a week ago, but as any game addict, I installed some of the resent games and started playing them. All I can say about it.. “OMG”

First things first. I bought an Asus EN8800GT (512MB) VGA card. This is PCI-E 2 and DDR 3 supported card, which has the G92 GPU core.

My new com and my gaming life..

Hey guys.. placement sure sucks. Working is no fun at all, it seems. Not to mention the nice traffic in Colombo. It takes roughly about one and half hours to go 2 work, and another 1 1/2 to get back. A total of 2-3 hours per day. Add 9 hours of work (Well actually about 8 1/2 ) That leads to a total of 12 hours max. So if I take 8 hours of sleep (I need my sleep alot), that leaves around 4 left for my self.. Been a Sri lankan really sucks. But then again, its not like i have much of a choice. lol..

Well enough about that. This post is about my new com and my new currier choice.

How to create your own webcam feed

To day I’m going to show you all how to create a a cheap web cam feed from machine. This is quite easy to do if you follow the steps.

First of all I’ll start with the media servers. In oder to broad cast your video (any type) you need to have a media server which is the one which actually broad casts the video feed. For that you have various sorts of media servers. For example – Flash media server for flash video streaming, Helix server for real media streaming, Windows media encoder (acts both as server and encoder) for windows media player and so forth. from the above list the only thing which come in a truly low price is the WME (Windows media encoder). And the Flash media server costs around 7000$ (if you willing to pay that much can you send me a copy as well .

But since Microsoft is Microsoft, I’ll be using a separate media server, called the VLC media server. (all of you know VLC right? If not, you are either new to the internet or you are too old to use a com ) For those who doesn’t know about VLC, its completely free, reliable and is easy to work with. When installing make sure you install the Firefox plug in for VLC. All you have to do is to check the tick for installing Firefox plug in.
