WordPress 3.0 gave us the capability to add our own custom post types and to use them in different ways.

So how can this help you?

* Speed up your development work!
* Get you started, code!
* easy to add to plugins/themes

The reason this page was made was for the sheer hell of it, & simply because I was board and needed something to wind away a nice quite Saturday night, (mind you the bottle of vodka helped)

This will simply create the code you need to add custom post type to your wordpress install.

I thought I would share it, enjoy.

Shortly after arriving & getting through the pre-paid tickets gate we decided to get something to eat, I tried to buy a bottle of Irn-bru and a couple of bacon rolls, But, Did the English company, burger van sell them? NO… how much was my 2x bacon rolls and a bottle of juice, I hear you ask..? well to my utter disapointment it was £8.40… I know!! bloody hell.

I just cant understand why oh why, at the Scottish Motorcycle show for 2012 in Edinburgh, we would find so many south of the border companies selling and trading along with an English FMX Stunt show, (BrokeFMX) although they were amazing at what they did, they too where from south of the border not that I have anything against them, I would just like to know WHY!

Scotland has a massive amount of talent all around the country, including burger vans, stunt shows and traders, Why did the organisers do this? I just cant understand the reasons for hiring companies so far away, when local companies and groups could have benifited. (rant over)

Microsoft’s Major Nelson let slip in a series of tweets that the Star Wars Xbox 360 Kinect bundle will land on April 3rd. The set, which was first unveiled, fittingly, at Comic Con, is dressed up like R2-D2 and ships with a C-3P0-themed controller, a white Kinect sensor and the games Star Wars Kinect and Kinect Adventures. The 320GB system will run you $449 (around £299), so start saving up those Galactic Credits now.

I love the snow and everything that comes with it, like sledding, skiing and skating. Truth be told, I often get a little sad when it becomes obvious that the last flakes have fallen. It means I need to wait another year to feel the wind in my face as I fly down a hill, only to run back up, breathless and ready for my next ride… well this year I wont have to wait…

Welcome our friends over at Rockboard, who have taken boarding to an all new level with the totally never before seen ”Descender”, the very first of its kind! It’s not a sled, its not a skateboard and it features some innovative high-performance treads never before applied to the boarding experience, this unique cross-over board bridges the gap for summer and winter outdoor sports enthusiasts and enables riders to “surf” down grass and all-terrain hills.

With its four treads wrapped around triple sets of wheels, designed for maximum traction and power, The Descender extends the fun of snowboarding and surfing into every season. The Descender officially measures to be 31” x 10” x 5” and it can hold riders up to around 200 lbs.

So not only does the “Descender” LOOK amazingly different than anything you’ve ever seen, it opens up a whole new world of exciting downhill opportunities. I guess spring doesnt seem so bad after all, since thats when The Descender will be available, so watch for it in a store near you… its gonna be big. Woo-hoo!

You might not need an electric streetbike in the near future, but it’s still cool to know that the prototype is complete. CRP Racing has just introduced the Energica at the EICMA motorcyle show in Italy.

The Energica slides an all-electric powertrain with 100kW of power into a classic Italian-style two wheeler the is capable of speeds up to 220 km/h, 16kgm of torque, and 150km of range on a single charge, features OZ forged aluminum braking discs and a power train efficiency around 95 percent. The niftiness is only compounded by front double caliper radial mounts, a single rear fixed caliper, digital multifunction LCD dashboard and LED headlights. Pricing begins with a deposit of €1,500 ($2042 US) and doesn’t include VAT. Of course, the Energica is still in the development phase, so final pricing and specifications might change. Still, if an electric streetbike isn’t at least as cool as a penguin in a freezer, then something’s wrong with your freezer.

Thanks to the longstanding hardware exploit, it only ever takes a few tweaks here and there to get the latest iOS releases tether jailbroken on most devices. But here’s the 5.0.1 version, using redsn0w.

As usual, this version doesn’t include the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, but it’s a start for anyone who’s been having enough battery issues with iOS 5 to be craving 5.0.1′s improvements, or just wants to get their hands on the new gestures for iPad without losing their jailbreak apps. [RedmondPie]

This years 25th MAG Farmyard party was swamped with over 9000 bikers and party goers, along with some rain, which didnt stop this party…

The Hotrod

Once again the little town of Helmsley was flooded with a wash of bikes, trikes, and all things biker-ish… friday 17th until the 19th June 2011 seen this quite little town explode with a mesmerising amount of motorbikes that every person can appreciate & drowl over, I know i did, the amount of work and skill used in each and every machine that passed me,  captivated the imagination and passion these guys these guys put into each build…

This year, again I took the journey with my bro ShugTech, along with a few old faces & I mean Old :) also a few farmyard virgins to which they had an amazing time & nothing bad happened to them or there tents :P, (note to self: dont get to pissed and forget about the virgins :P )

The ride down for us, was just a haze, one minute we were in Glasgow then burger king appeared at Scotch corner, which was a welcome stop, then we were there unpacking (PARTY TIME)…

Bothwell Services - Glasgow

The bands & entertainment this year was excellent, for me the highlights were, as always, the dance tent, bike show, the massive streetfighter big-top tent where we seen the sugar bullets along with quite a few other bands, although being as drunk as i was, totaly forgot the names.

The Sugar Bullets

Over in the Back Street heroes tent we had a chance to see Limehouse Lizzy, a fantastic ThinLizzy tribute band which to some was their highlight, to finish of the weekend the annual stripper made her appearance, but I missed the whole thing (due to over endulging)… fortunately we have friends in very close proximity with a nice little HD cam, (video soon)…

my only disappointment this year (along with the weather), was the lack of rodeo bull :) All I wanted to do was beat my 1:05 time from last year…(UPDATE: Now I’ve been told that the Bull was there, Dam Vodka, making me miss that…)

Just a few pictures this year

The following tutorial will take you through the simple process of communicating with a Benq VAD6038 DVD Drive using Jungle Flasher and an X360USB PRO adapter.

Requirements:

• Xecuter X360USB Pro
  
• DVD Drive Power source (the tutorial uses an Xecuter CK3 Pro)
  
• Sata Cable (Supplied with X360USB Pro)
• USB Cable (Supplied with X360USB Pro)
• Latest version of Jungle Flasher
• X360USB PRO Windows Drivers
• Windows XP / Vista / 7 – 32bit or 64bit

Warning

AUX Power Cable

The X360USB PRO comes with an AUX Power cable. This is NOT to be used unless it is required. Your X360USB PRO will function with no problems on 99% of USB ports as they have a 500ma output. A tiny amount of USB ports only carry 100ma. The AUX Power is supplied as a worst case scenario for those instances (you would plug it into a USB capable power supply unit such as the iPod’s power brick). DO NOT use the AUX Power cable if your computer supports 500ma as you may cause damage to your X360USB PRO. The best way to test is it just set everything up to see if drivers install, jungle flasher detects the drive etc.

There are two firmware versions of the Benq VAD6038, the 64230C and the 64930C. This guide covers both models. To find out which version of Benq drive you have simply look at the label and you will see “FW Ver.: 64X30C”

Here is an example of the Benq VAD6038 DVD label. As you can see we have highlighted the F/W version – in this case it is the 64930C.

Before you connect everything you first need to install the X360USB Pro Drivers. These are signed and work in Windows XP / Vista / 7 both 32bit and 64bit. Download the small driverpack and plug in the X360USB PRO USB Cable. When it asks for the drivers simple point to the files you saved and they will install with ease. You are now ready to hook everything else up.

It’s very easy to hook up your Benq VAD6038 to your PC. Simply connect the DVD power supply (in this case the Xecuter CK3 Pro) to the DVD drive (take care to make sure it is fitted the correct way – the wrong way can damage your drive) and to a molex power cable from your PC or from an external Molex power supply. Then connect the SATA cable from the DVD drive to the X360USB Pro, and then connect the USB cable from the X360USB Pro to a USB port on your Netbook/Notebook/Laptop/Desktop computer.

OK we are ready to begin:

1. Load up Jungle Flasher and…

(1) Select the MTK Flash 32 Tab
(2) Make sure the I/O Port is set to 0×000
(3) The X360USB pro should be detected as Primary Master and the Firmware version will be displayed (in this case it is Ver 0.17)
(4) The Benq VAD6038 should be detected and ready to work with

2. Now we need to put the drive into Vendor Mode.

(1) Click the Benq UnLock button
(2) The drive is now in vendor Mode

3. Now to read the firmware from the drive. Simply click on the Read button.

4. You will be asked to save the firmware file. I just created a directory called FW on the C: drive and saved it there.

5. The following part of the guide is solely to show 3rd party tools working with the X360USB PRO. You must own any game that you backup and we do not condone any kind of piracy and this is purely for educational purposes only. We do not provide any of the LT Plus firmware files and they are not provided or included with Jungle Flasher so do not ask for them. Once the drives firmware has been read Jungle Flasher will ask you if you want to auto-load the Benq iXtreme firmware. Click Yes.

6. Everything is now loaded into Jungle Flasher and you are ready to go. lets explain whats happening on the screen at the moment.

(1) The source buffer is loaded with the firmware from your Benq drive. It shows here that it is 64930C Stock Firmware
(2) This is your DVD key – always keep this safe !
(3) This is the iXtreme LT firmware auto loaded into the target buffer

7. Now you are ready to program your drive.

(1) Select the MTK Flash 32 tab
(2) Click the Write button

8. After writing, Jungle Flasher also reads and verifies every sector to make sure that the drive programmed correctly. Once everything is completed it will say “Write Verified OK!”

9. Success ! You can now click the Outro / ATA Reset button to take the drive out of vendor mode

This guide will allow you to install your USB drivers on a windows based machine.

X360USB PRO Install Guide

1: Download the latest drivers from http://www.x360usb.com/downloads.html

2: Extract the driver files from the .zip file

3: Make sure the switch on the X360USB is set to the OFF position (ON = bootloader mode, used for updating the X360USB)

4: Connect the provided USB cable to the X360USB and your PC

- The extra AUX power cable is only to be used if your USB ports do not output 500mA
- In this case, you use both cables to power the X360USB
- 99% of computers operate at 500mA so it will be very rare to use this cable.

Some of the driver files will now install automatically. Once finished, the remaining driver has to be installed manually.

5: Open device manager, Right-Click on X360USB PIO, and choose Update Driver Software…

6: Browse your computer for the driver files you extracted in step 2

7: Click Next

8: Ignore the Windows security warning, and choose to install the driver software anyway

9: Double check in Device Manager, to see that the driver installed correctly.

Have fun
