    Blackjack
    I went to the Blackjack Festival on Saturday night
    The bands were as follows

    Mötley Crüe
    Mötorhead
    The Living End
    The Casanovas
    Fireballs
    Day of the Dead

    All I can say is..........Motorhead are Awesome
    My ears are ringing and my neck is sore (I am
    getting too Old for this headbanging shit)

    Motley Crue also rock and for an Encore Motley
    Crue bought back Motorhead and they played
    Anarchy in the UK..........Excellent

    So hopefully by the end of the week I will get
    my hearing back and I can remove the neckbrace
    Hahahaha

    End of College for the year
    Well I am now half way through my TAFE College course
    and I have managed to pass all my exams
    WooHoo

    Now I start 2 months of Holidays and I start
    back at College on the 6th of February

    I am determined to finish my MAME Cab over these holidays
    but this weekend I am off to the Blackjack concert
    here in Perth.......Motorhead and Motley Crue are playing
    It should be Fucking Awesome........

    And my New Years resolution is that I will write
    more in this journal....A bit early I know but who gives

    Its been more than a while.........
    Today I finished my first term at
    TAFE College. I had 5 exams to
    finish the term with and I made
    them piss....Passed all with flying
    colours.

    So now I have a week and a halfs break
    and I am determined to complete my
    Mame Cab....All the parts are now here
    I just have to complete the holes in the
    control panel. I have put together the
    computer that is going inside the Cab
    specs are as follows........

    Semperon 2500+
    Asus A7V400-MX Motherboard
    512MB DDR400 Ram
    16x DVD player
    Radeon 9250 Graphics Card 256MBRAM
    80GB Harddrive

    I know that the specs are a bit high for
    Mame but I also want to play some PC games
    on the Cab and use it as a Juke Box.
    For sound I have decided that I am going
    to get a Car Amp and some decent speakers
    all hooked up to a separate PC power supply.
    I will have to see how it goes.
    Photos will be posted here and on YakYak
    when it is all done..

    Its been a while
    It has been a while since I up dated so here I go

    I applied and have been accepted into TAFE College
    for a 1 year full time course...the course is
    Certificate 3 of Electro-technology (Small Computer Systems)
    Seeing as I already fix and build PC's hopefully this
    course shouldn't be too hard.....Famous last words
    The course starts on 18th of July....but tomorrow
    I have to go and meet some people at Mission Australia
    and hopefully they will pay for this as it is
    more expensive to do than I thought...

    Gib and I bought a couple of things on E-bay
    I bought an arcade bench seat that attaches to a 50" arcade
    rear projection monitor....I should be able to convert it
    to a mame setup but I will use a 68cm TV will be interesting
    to see how it works...It only cost me $40 so what the hell...
    But first I will have to work on the Cab
    Gib bought an old Outrun stand up Cab with no board or monitor
    in it but it will make a nice Mame Cab

    Thats it for today

    Slept in until 9:30 so I had to leg it to get
    my deliveries. Finished it by 6:00pm I am glad
    that I only do it 2 days a week.......

    Got home and watched the fourth episode of
    Dr Who...Fuck me it is getting better and better

    The rest of the night will be spent surfing
    the net and I may watch a movie or some retro
    gaming

    First Entry
    Ok then here I am doing my first journal entry

    Well today I bought a bench chair for a 50 inch
    arcade game, I don't know what I am going to do
    with it but it does look cool :)

    I also Bought an MP3 player for my sons 15th
    Birthday on Sunday...I hope he likes it..Fuck
    he is 15.....I am feeling old

    I am working on my Mame Cab at the moment....
    surfing the net for info I found out that
    ozstick is now getting in a mini-pac so I can hook
    up the controls to a PC it seems better than an
    I-pac so I will wait until they have them in stock
    I don't know what to do with the Monitor should
    I use the 20" monitor thats in the cab or should I
    use the spare 19" computer monitor I have....It is
    the cheaper option...It will cost $200 for the
    arcade VGA card and VGA amplifier...I will have to
    think about it........
