I need one of these for Genesis emulation. I always look for them, but never see them here. I know you can order ones made to look and feel exactly like the 6 button Sega controller... may order one so I can play some MK3 and more.

Turns out I don't actually have the console. Wish I knew that before I declined the receipt. Waste of $7

I bought a pair of shoes last day.

^ Nowt like walking out ya front door feelin' fab in new shoes.

A challenge at every turn. All of the extension cables for Project Catacomb have arrived. All work... EXCEPT for the 25' VGA cable which has one or more faulty-wired pins.

The US seller has 53,500 items sold, over 11,000 of which were this specific cable, and 99.2% positive feedback. But every now and then you get a dud. For $5 and free shipping it was worth the gamble.

I'll stay on schedule if I can secure a working cable by Saturday. It'll all be worth it once the project is complete.

A Magic: the Gathering card

I went on a web shopping spree recently. Really uncharacteristic of me, but here they are...

USB 3.0 individually-powerable port hub. Now that my server is 25 feet below me, a single active repeater cable is my only USB connection in my office. This will remedy that problem nicely.

And finally, I queued up the discography of Hidden Orchestra for an evening of reading in bed last weekend and upon revisiting the Night Walks album I was instantly reminded that it is a record worthy of owning in three dimensions. A gent in Germany was happy to send me an original pressing straight away that night. I'll have it shortly.
