As seen on boing boing. Awesome video of a single point in time during a shootout between cops and clowns.
Over on boing boing, this video was highlighted, as the first in a miniseries, the first two epsiodes of which cost just $500 to make. The cool thing about this is it’s being made using the Half Life 2 engine.
So apparently XBMC has released a PC beta called Atlantis. Downloaded both the windows installer and the Live CD.
(Update, the image on that blog post seems to load a pop up when viewing full size, so removed the click through)
Had problems getting the Live CD working on a whole host of dell and HP laptops. Mainly due to video card detection. In the end I got the windows binary to work on my Inspiron 6400. Works pretty well, but ran into the following issue:
- Doesn’t seem to support my LCD panel’s native res 1680×1050
- The playback UI seems to lag at times
- Video Calibration seems to be way off.
I know it’s been a while since I fired up my XBOX with XBMC, but this experience reminded me a lot about the time I tried Media Portal (a PC port of the old XBMC source code base). I guess it’s far easier to run a slick system on specific deidcated hardware, than generalist PC hardware.
It’s come a long way, and I’m incredibly impressed, but I don’t quite think it’s ready for the lounge room yet.

Emerson (album and tour to come soon) at work got me onto this habit of saying “O for Awesome” some time ago and I know everyone around me is wondering where it’s come from.
Well wonder no more.
My wife brought this ad to my attention recently. It’s the funniest ad I’ve seen in a while and is apparently actually an old ad. The last kid is the funniest.
