    For anyone new starting the game...

    Useful web sites/web tools

     

    3rd party tools

    • TrackIR - the standard for PC head tracking device.  Bit pricey at MSRP.
    • EDTracker - a gyro sensor based head tracking device.
    • TrackHat - A TrackIR alternative.
    • VoiceAttack - Speech/voice to keystroke/mouse action software.
    • HCS VoicePacks - Voice packs to use with VoiceAttack.  Pre-built commands for E:D with voice feedbacks.

     

    I'm forgetting few things.  I'll add more as I remember them.

    I use VoiceAttack with voice packs from HCS VoicePacks and they are nice, though they can be bit fiddly to setup initially. Truth be told, it's quicker for me to just use the buttons/keys on my HOTAS rig.  Aside from the specific throttle settings (e.g., 0%, 25%, etc.), I've got everything bound to setup with the exception of ship lights, orbit lines, and rotation correction (which is always on, anyways).  The only reason they're not bound is because I almost never use them, and if I do need to use them, I can just use my keyboard.

    With that said, random quips from Verity can be entertaining at times.

    On lunch break from a Robotics Tournament at Andrew's High School.  His team started out great (because they were paired with an awesome team), top "alliance" of two teams in the competition.  They've settled down now to about 10th out of ~45 teams, still pretty good since they are all newbies.

    And this is more fun than I thought it'd be.....

    That actually sounds fun.

    I finished, hopefully, the last round of leaf raking/blowing this morning.  It wasn't terrible, but not fun either.

    Sorry to hear of your power outages, Todd.  I'm hoping this winter won't be too bad in that regard since we are on one of the lowest priority streets as far as my power company is concerned.

    We'd scheduled for the utility company come today since we had a day off (Election Day).  My wife and daughter had somewhere else to be, so I stayed home hoping they'll show up early (8am-1pm was the time range they gave us).  Turns out they'd messed up and didn't have one scheduled.  At least I got some cleaning done around the house so the day wasn't a complete waste.
