Time to get working again
Ahhhhh.... Snow is melting, birds are singing, temps are warming,... spring is finally here. It's about time for me to stop hibernating and "finish" my car. I have a lot planned. Through the winter, I had many crazy ideas come and go. I'm still trying to make final decisions on what exactly I want to do with the carputer.
What I do know is what I don't like about it. I've had over 4 months of road time with the carputer I've come up with a laundry list of stuff I don't like about it. The biggest surprise is RR. I'm sure if I spent the time to code and make my own skin and stuff, it would be perfect for me, but I'm having difficulty finding time for anything nowadays, let alone this. I really only use it to play music off my hd, so I think I'll just switch to itunes. It's not ts friendly, but I'm familiar with it, and it is very good at what it does. I also need a new gps program. Street atlas 2007 is just as bad as 2003. I take that back. It's marginally better. But still not reliable enough and a pain to use while driving. It's failed 2 NYC test and I can't trust it in giving me directions. Wow. SD is looking really good right about now.
Other problems are more related to personal taste or unhappiness with the performance. The $65 800mhz Dells has proven to be a real bang-for-the-buck deal. It's gotten me this far. But that will probably get replaced soon. So will the screen and it's location. And hopefully the sub will also get a custom home. Plus, I have some loose ends that needed attention, but were put on hold because of the cold weather. That and much more (hopefully) is on the horizon.
