Book I read a long time ago

I remember reading a book where the protagonist was young and either her or her brother had diabetes. They carried lifesavers around with them. That's about all I remember. I believe it was popular/well known enough to be required reading in some scools.

Any clues?

Re: Nintendo Press Conference

You can't actually play the games from the memory card, you have to transfer the files back to main memory.

Basically I had the camera saving to c:\pictures, and then ran Ubuntu in a virtual machine on top of it, accessing c:\pictures via Samba. Here are the scripts. This first one takes 4 random pictures and stitche...

Looking for slideshow software with a twist

Is there any slideshow software out there that well let you add images to the slideshow after you've already started it? My friend has an idea for his wedding where he's going to have a camera going around and transmitting pictures back to a laptop. He's looking for some sort of slideshow software t...

Tag and Rename does this with MP3s. Tagtool does it in linux. Not sure what you're going to find that works on spc filess though.

Pretty cool, though they don't seem to really be following restrictions. I'm pretty sure Atari 2600 sprites can't have more than one color/line for example. EDIT: I just realized that it might have been common to "mexican up" the screens for the package, as was done with some NES games ca...

The restriction is part of NTFS, not Windows, though Explorer likely error checks:

Transfering PS1/PS2 games saves to PC

Does anyone know if this will work with a PC? If not, any suggestions? I don't really want to go through the hassle and expense of a dex drive, plus it only does PS1.

PSX Gems you may have missed

All of this talk about Parasite Eve 2 has got me thinking, what other PSX RPGs are out there that I've missed. Alundra springs to mind - everyone speaks highly of it but I never got around to playing it.

Any suggestions?

You can pick up a Sony XBR CRT that's a few years old for $300-$500 these days. When they came out in 2003/2004 they were among the best TVs reviewed... of course they cost well over $2k at the time. The colors and black levels are still untouchable. Most important to me however is that standard def...

It's not real CMYK (see here, or here for some good discussion on it). It is a dealbreaker for many people.
