Hi people. I decided to start this blog mainly due to my lapsed typing skills. The other day I saw helping out a family member with typing up an assignment on the computer, and in doing so realised I was making a TON of typing errors. I can still type at a really fast speed but at a high error rate. So here we are.
I'll use this space for talking about video game related things, comic book things, movie things etc etc. Since I've got into making videos; I'll post them up too. I think I can embed youtube vids on here since this place is also owned by google (to my surprise! when my college teacher used this page as a bulletin board, it was not google owned as I recall!)
Speaking of videos, to record I use a kodak 14mp digital cam that has HD video recording features (I cannot afford a DVR). Trouble is it eats batteries. I can't use normal rechargables with it as it will drain them in about 3 mins (even 2700 batteries). It takes a li-ion battery though which does last about 15 mins recording video. It is a third party chinese make kind of one, and I read that the offical kodak ones last allot longer. Trouble is though they are expensive.
What I would like to do is power it by mains adapter when using it at home. There is no adapter to power it and then use it while it is powered. What I was thinking is an empty battery shell with a wire coming from it, then that going to a mains adapter. I have googled 'till the cows come home but not found anything like that. The only way would be to make one myself. I have spare standard connections power adapters that run at various voltages. The li-on is 3 volts according to the label, power adapters are around 5 volts, so I would need some resistors and whatnot. No idea whre to even start. I'll ask on some forums perhaps.
Do I get achevemnt points for my first blog post? what this is not xbox? ohhhhhhhh nevermind then.
Thanks for reading.
