Finally some good news...

Oh yeah! finally gave the order for the thing i was mentioning about in the past blog entries. They said that it will take approximatley 10 days for the things i ordered to arrive. I am in no hurry. Yay!!


Well yesterday night havent slept at all was sitting and making the reference planes for the game and it took me the entire night and finally the road from santhome to parry's was referenced. It was 26 images and they will serve as the blueprint in the engine for us to further build upon.


My good friend sanjay was kind enough to tell me about this software called Dropbox. This is a sync software that helps keep files between multiple computers and a copy of the files are saved in their servers too. The good thing is that this is a folder in your computer and files can be pasted here and it will automatically sync. You dont need a browser open and wait endlessly. You can set the upload and download speed so that it doesnt affect your internet browsing. The free users get a storage space of 2GB which is more than enough for me and sanjay to send and recieve files.

The above link will take u to the site. If u need to send an invite for a friend to see the drop box u can send em to their mail and once they accept they can start sending and recieving files.


There are many others that provide this facility. When i bought my Asus laptop the G74SX there was some online application for storage provided too but never used it.


I think the first one i ever used was the Microsoft Skydrive, its still a really good one as it provides 25GB which is big and sadly it needs the browser open which is a drawback.


You can log into skydrive using your windows live ID, it can be hotmail, XBOX anything...
