Haha, no it doesn't have any relation to my username (well it might have after the incident), but that's a whole 'nother story. :p

 

Short version: Porsche Club weekend at Road Atlanta, damp track, borrowed car, exceeded the power>grip ratio and backed it into a tirewall just past turn 3. I was doing quick lap times and got the nickname of Flash Gordon, until the incident and someone said something like "needs to change his name to Crash Gordon" and I thought it was funny and embraced it. :D

 

You know they have Xbox Ones now so you can do that at home with Forza.

It's a ghost. It's a character used to promote breakfast cereal. That's about it.

 

 

Big cereal fan I take it?

 

I probably should have made this topic "Explain your Username and/or avatar". If an overlord .. I mean mod is reading this, you can do that.  :laugh:

Mine used to be an old Neowin logo from a green version of the site, but something happened (can't remember what) and I lost it, now its just blank.

 

The name is a longer story. I was testing some bit of code (don't remember what code now) and needed an alternative username from my usual of rstat1. The 2008 version of the Visual C# express edition had a green splashscreen (where the green in the name comes from) and C# spelled out is C Sharp (where the Sharp comes from), so I combined the two and used the resulting word Sharpgreen as the username.

Mine is pretty self-explanatory, I think. I need to make a clearer version of it, but so far couldn't be bothered.

 

It's clever and still makes me giggle even after all these years, so I've never changed it. Plus, that song is so darn catchy.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
