The Florida Meets Thread

[rijndael]

holy **** John...my first day back on the forums and i see you almost bit it...im glad to see you're alright. i noticed everyone on the original thread talking about it saying "speedy" recovery...lol...i just thought that was funny....you know...cause cars...and....ahh forget it...lol

recover quickly John...hope to see you at the next meet.

no offense to everyone including myself, but with all the past car pc meets we had, only like one or two cars (one is a truck) would be imo able to "pass" for a show vehicle. Every one that has shown up to one of the car pc meets, including myself, are pretty much "work in progress".....

Now, I am not saying get mirrors to put under car and velvet rope to put around your car, just that I think we (meaning people coming to the meets and myself included), need to hunker down and actually finish our rides first.

I would love to see some more, ahem, "finished car pc".

LOL that is true, mine was actually in the car (you saw it when i drove you to the bathroom), but now its out again. Even more of my dash is taken apart, and although I have my passenger seat back in (drove without for almost 5 months), I now have a gap in the 2 nd row were the car pc now rests and the finally finished center console will go. Its all up to IEI to get me my new MoBo.

At the same time though.... going there with half a$$ed cars may actually be a good thing. People will be more then willing to give there input on things we can do to improve and finish our cars. I also think the fact that we are putting PCs in our cars will impress people enough that they dont really look at anything else.

In Florida here and I would love to go see some instals some of you have done.

So far the best places that have had good turnout of people for meets are:
Broward, Tampa, WPB, Miami, and Labelle in that order.

Hiya John,

Thought I'd throw this out there... If the five locations above have all worked out well in the past why not just alternate the meets between ONLY the five locations that have worked. (Alternating the meets between Saturday and Sunday would be cool too)

Saves you tons of planing because it’s in a location you already used and makes it easier for regular attendees as they have already been there.

John would you be referring to myself and Hivoltage yep.....both are rides are pretty SWEET. Only thing is that damn Hivoltage and his manly and truck makes my little rice box like a frigging chick car (makes me feel like I should be wearing lipstick and a skirt)

YO...Rijndael and HiJackZX1 BIG What UP!!!! how you boyz been. Ohh Rijndael I know you have the 15" sub up and running right .

P.S

Hiya John,

We have been doing that over the years, read some of the florida meet threads.

Alternating the meets between Saturday and Sunday would be cool too

We tried a few saturday meets and it did not work because the majority of people did not or COULD not show up until after 6pm because people work more on saturday then sunday.

John would you be referring to myself and Hivoltage yep.....both are rides are pretty SWEET.

Yes they are sweet, and no I was referring to another vehicle.

(makes me feel like I should be wearing lipstick and a skirt)

whatever you do on Friday nights is up to you........

Hey guys,

Well I don't care where the next meet is but I am definitely going this time (Please don't be in december because I am leaving for the holidays). I have a finished Car PC install and I have been dying to get some feedback on it from other car pc lovers...

Oh and John sorry about the bad luck but hey at least now you have an excuse to get a new pimped out ride!

[john1701]

johnwpb was testing an bunch of new plugins for Road Runner.
One is a new plugin RRTT (Road Runner Time Travel) when he miss calculated his re-entry into West Palm, where in fact the truck was suppose to be 8.5 feet due north of its actual location using RRTL(truck locator) plugin ver1.0.4.6B, causing the accident.... then using RRA (ambulance) plugin, to get the firmware for RRH (hospital)plugin ver5.01, and he forgot to use RRAPD (anti police detector) plugin, which hopefully he was using plugin RRGMNT (Give me no ticket).....the end result was that some of the plugins still need to be worked on before they are finally released.

All joking aside, glad he is ok.

[JohnWPB]

@ Lok: Yea, still looking for a new ride.... hopefully will come up with something soon.

@John1701: That's it, no more beta testing the RRTT plugin! I have just one plugin now that still has some "minor" glitches, and I am working on perfecting... Will be the RRTA when completed. (Road Runner Truck Avoidance) You up for beta testing John? I can make a CF version!

[john1701]

lol, that would be great. Just make it for RR, im switching back to RR as of today. CF has very poor support for their product. I just need to get used to listening to the same songs over and over with RR....needs support for mp btw.

[JohnWPB]

Ok, if I told you once I have told you at least 10 times now....

Install the RR media database for RR. When you then browse at the very top of the browser lists is [Entire Collection]. Click that and either press play select, or click it and choose add to disk. That's it! You will NEVER hear the same song twice until every song you have on your system plays.

If you add them to a disk, you can change what you are listening to, search for a song and listen, select an album and play ect. When you go back to the disk, it will pick up on the last song you were listening to.

If you don't want to hear them in album order, click "Randomize" and it will shuffle the list of songs, and play them from the very first song, to the very last song in the order they are randomized in the list, one after the other....
