 Welcome
to Tweaks & Reviews
There are many fine products that could be great if not for some
little annoyance or something that just doesn't work as well as it could. Here
we'll find simple ways to fine tune the products to enhance their
performance. We'll try to keep the enhancements as simple as possible so that
anyone with a few hand tools can perform them. If a product has been fine tuned,
the review will be done after the product has been modified. The fine
tuning guides and overviews may specify technical information to enhance the
article, but the reviews will be based on everyday experience. So a video card
review, for example, won't have specs on polygons or fill rates, but it may give
the frame rates achieved in a game. If it can be reliably overclocked, it
will be tested that way. If there are 2 or more similar products that have been
popular or highly rated, a shoot-out type of review will be done to try to
determine which one is best.

Most of the How-To articles have captions when you put the
cursor over the pictures. I like to use a lot of pictures in these articles but
am always afraid the pages will take too long to load. It's hard for me to judge
because I'm on cable modem. So the picture quality is a trade off between
speed and resolution.

The
camcorder page has updated sound clips for the mics I'm testing. Nady Systems
has sent me a CM-2S stereo mic for a review I'll be writing shortly. After some
preliminary testing, this mic looks promising.
August 9, 2005
I've
added a couple more articles. One of them has been done for a year, but not
published. It's a tutorial on how to program RBJoy for Doom3 for joystick and
trackball support. It'll walk you through it and once you've got it figured out,
you can make a template for most games. With RBJoy, I even added a slow walk
feature that's not in the game. If you're still playing First Person Shooters
with a mouse and keyboard, you don't know what you're missing. To find the
article, look under MISC. then Doom3.
The
second article is in the Audio/Video section and it's about some hand made
camcorder accessories. (LCD hood, microphone shock mount and windscreen.) I
expect this article to continue growing, so it may never be completely finished.
