iRacing Setup Tweaking

slowry — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:13:15 +0000

A lot of times you have a setup and start turning laps. You don’t know what to change on the car to make it do what you want. I found this cheat sheet online somewhere for NR2003 and the tweaks work just fine for iRacing Oval cars. The light red are tweaks and you have from left [...]

Folding@home

The @home distributed computing method has been around for several years now. What is distributed computing? In short, it’s being able to break a large piece of work into smaller pieces and send them to computers around the world to work on in their spare cycles. Everyday folks like you and can download some software and [...]

12 Days of ChickenFoot

Ok so I haven’t been this excited over an album coming out in a very very long time. I’ll post a link to the podcast on the podcast page, or you can watch episodes of the 12 days of ChickenFoot here. The boys talk about all the songs on the CD and how they came about. There [...]

Back from Vacation

Well, it was a heck of a trip and when I have a little more time I’ll write up some of the adventures we had and there were plenty. 1200 odd miles in a 34′ RV that I’d never driven before was a heck of a ride. It feels good to be back in NWA and there [...]

NASCAR and iRacing.com

There was a lot going on this week in Charlotte, NC for the NASCAR All-Star event. One of the things that slipped through was an announcement from NASCAR and iRacing that there would be a sanctioned simulator division for 2010. Very cool in my opinion. I’ve been racing online for over a decade now and iRacing is [...]

A New Look

My wife, Stacey, has been doing a fair bit of Wordpress Theme creation of late. She finally got around to doing one for my personal site here. A few folks looking at my old theme mentioned that it lacked a little “attitude” and “style’ that I’m know for. I think this one represents me pretty well. Let me [...]

iPhone taken for a Ride

Now, I pride myself on being a pretty smart guy. Sure, I’m no rocket scientist but I do ok. Occasionally, I’m forgetful or if you are less charitable, prone to boneheaded moves. See here for a move where I ran my brand new laptop over with our Jeep Rubicon. This morning on the way to work, it [...]

Google to Buy Twitter

slowry — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:55:17 +0000

Funnily enough found on Twitter this morning a link to a news source mentioning that Google was in discussions to buy Twitter. It makes sense from a business perspective and would likely tie in nicely as did feedburner. Be very interesting to see what if anything comes of it and if Microsoft or Yahoo decide to [...]

Trouble with Twitters

slowry — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:29:04 +0000

A little bit of humour for a Friday ( or any other day you happen be stopping by ). Twitter may be the new hotness with Social Networking and there certainly are a bunch of folks talking about it. Heck you can follow me by clicking on the link above or in the side bar. Don’t [...]

Learn Electic Ladyland

There are times I wish I had certain affiliate programs. Guitar World is one of those. One of THE guitarist albumns of all time would have to be Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland. A bunch of well known songs that all folks should have under their fingers. I am incredibly time poor right now, but if I had [...]
