Cheap LCD displays?

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any cheap color LCD’s which have a resolution of at least 160×144 pixels and can do at least 16-bit color. It would be nice if the aspect ratio is close 160:144 (which is almost square.) I found some LCD with touch screen over at rftechworld.com but it’s 240×320 pixels and comes with an extra touch screen which I wouldn’t need. It also costs around $14, and I was hoping to be able to find something useful for cheaper! :)

P.S.: Is there even any interest for FPGABoy to have an LCD? I know one or two people have said it would be cool. Perhaps it can be an “optional” add-on, with VGA or NTSC as the alternatives. I have a few pretty neat ideas which will make FPGABoy much more than a boring Gameboy clone, but will wait until they are at least partially implemented until I rant about them. Hehehehe. :)

Site landed on suspicious IP?

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Been a while since my last post, but someone pointed out and I also noticed on my own that it seems like the current IP  address of this site seems to have been used in the past for suspicious activities (spam, piracy, … I don’t know exactly what?) I  talked about it with my admin and he submitted the IP to be cleared from blacklists now that we have control of it and it’s not being used for anything illegal. However, it does not seem to have changed anything? (at least Check Point still tells me the site is “suspicious.”) Does anyone else still see this?

Now that I think of it, it might just be that the domain name is rather new and Check Point ZoneAlarm just likes to complain. Regardless, this site runs on a vanilla WordPress and there is nothing (as far as I know!) suspicious about it or its content. I don’t even have ads.
