New White 3×3x3 Speed Cube and Averages

April 7th, 2009 Chris Brown

Hello,

I’ve received a few cubes since the last time I posted. I have some black and some white “old” type 1 (A) cubes. They are great as I indicated in another post.

I’ve also received a type 2 A cube (or is it type A 2?). Read the rest of this entry »

Memorizing PLL algs, F2L on Bottom, Cross on bottom

I took about 2 weeks to really know them all and now I’m still getting faster at recognition and execution. Here and there I mess up and have to start over on the LL… it’s becoming less and less… I’m starting to feel them.  I’ve also been gaining skill with cross on bottom and F2L on bottom.

DIYCUBE type A 1 and Cubesmith Textured Tiles

March 21st, 2009 Chris Brown

Well, it’s been a while since my last cube update… a few weeks I suppose. I have a lot to talk about.

My cube4you order finally came… it took over a month with air shipping. I made another order and used EMS so those cubes should be here in the next week or so.

The diycube type A (old or type A 1) definitely lives up to the hype! My old sanded/lubed store bought felt so great but now it feels like a garage sale cube. If I were you I’d hit cube4you.com and order a few of the old type A’s right now. Read the rest of this entry »

Fedora 10 / Toshiba Laptop: Working headphone jack!

March 10th, 2009 Chris Brown

The headphone jack on my laptop wasn’t working in fedora 10 so I did a little bit of reading today and found this solution:

add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-digout

by the way, the soundcard is an intel HDA
