X-Surfing
My four month old Mad Catz MicroCON XBox controller (yea i should have guessed by the name) is wearing out already, the rubber on the left hand joystick has worn through and split over the top edge! Naturally being a net junky i have been scouring around for a better alternative, although after doing this 4 months prior (managed to abuse an original pad until i got a faulty X (Blue) button), it soon became aparent that i wasn't going to find a good replacement.
Actually concidering a PS2 to XBox Controller Converter off eBay, certainly cheaper and possibly more reliable as i never managed to break a Playstation pad! If anyone has tried this kind of adaptor, or has a replacement controller suggestion, then contact me.
Along the way i also found some other XBox related tingz, if your in need of any help with your XBox then i strongly recomend you check the Unofficial Xbox FAQ by Boid, all good stuff. XBoxSolution.com have an informative site which also offers a X-Box Boot Screen, Skin and Logon for Windows XP PC's (free too). GameSeek.co.uk are selling Team Talk Headsets to allow your mates to put you off completely by talking utter crap about 'tactics' while your trying to concentrate, and if anyone is sad enough to buy/own a Sniper Scope Light Rifle & Shotgun then can i have a go please :]

Today's surfing has mainly consisted of looking for a replacement pool ball...
No, i haven't got a missing pool ball or even a pool table, but maybe a few missing marbles...
It's to make a pool-ball-gearknob for my car, although i have found a few companies that make them already it would be fun to make a DIY version.
If you have a black 8 ball, blue no.2 (spot) or blue no.10 (stripe) going spare then i want it/them!!!
