Today marks the first time that I have downgraded someone else's PSP, the process went smoothly enough for me being about half asleep through most of it. :P It worked out nicely though. I am certain that Kevin will enjoy his newly downgraded PSP quite well, and to anyone who actually reads this blog: I will downgrade any PSP free of charge but you must cover shipping and you can not hold me liable for any damage done to the PSP system. I do accept donations for the service (Kevin gave me $40 ^_^) that can be in the form of money or some old hardware you no longer want or need.
If you are curious about anything I have said in this very short post, drop me a line. My e-mail is ryokea(at)gmail(dot)com.

PSP
Amazing little thing if you ask me. I look around on the net and keep finding stories and posts of people finding all kinds of useful things to do with their PSP system. When I first received mine, I was an idiot and I updated mine so I could have the browser. But thanks to my impulsive decision to buy Lumines when it first came out quite awhile back...I was able to downgrade my PSP.
I have tried many of the custom firmwares because I missed having a browser, and I do not own Wipeout Pure so I couldn't use the hidden browser in the game. But now I have settled on M33's firmware. I used Dark_Alex's firmware and was satisfied but since he has left the homebrew scene, I am moving on to someone who is still actively developing.
With my PSP currently getting ready to update to M33's 3.52 firmware, I wonder what I am going to do now with it? GPS navigation is one of my top priorities when it comes down to it really. Also I would love to be able to use a programmable universal remote program on it. I do love IR Shell 3.1 and I am testing out another universal remote program.
We will see what the future holds. Till then, Game on.

Money
Ah yes...everyone's delima is they have no money. This is my case as well, so for now I am exploring all sorts of avenues of earning some dough in order to fund a trip to Texas. Currently I have at least one source of income, my job at McDonald's....ugh.
~EDITED~
Just some info that no longer needs to be put up.

Harddrive Woes
As the title says, this post is about harddrives. Particularly just one harddrive. The one that held my operating system for my desktop pc has completely been fried. Joy. This means that the little bit of posting I have done will more than likely come to a dead stop again due to "technical difficulties."
Well if this doesn't pan out like I wanted, if Shadow Underground never gets off the ground to make a company or something like that. This blog was a good idea none the less, and fun while it lasted.
Potential goodbye to any readers that dropped by. If no one reads this, I suppose it doesn't matter much as well.

Halo 3 Beta Leak
Ok, it seems someone has played the beta and released a video of it on Youtube. Anyone surprised? No? Yea, I wasn't either. I was actually waiting for something like this to happen. But since I currently am at school, it is difficult to watch videos since my bypass the filter deal isn't working at the moment. Damn crappy computer at home probably shut off again. Ah well, my recommendations to all Halo franchise fans....go to Youtube, and quick. I have noticed alot of the videos I used to watch have been disappearing because of copy wright issues. When I get the chance later tonight, I will do a search myself and post up the more interesting videos just as a quick reference.
Not much else to throw up here, other than the game F.E.A.R. for the Xbox360 is really damn cool. I can't wait until I can get Xbox Live back to try out the multiplayer. Another good game for the Xbox360 is Guitar Hero 2. Love the fact I have a second guitar controller for those head to head matches.

RIAA
Now, we all know about the RIAA. If you ask me, they are just a pack of extortionists who have nothing better to do than ruin the lives of people by placing large settlements on people so they won't have to go to court....or they go to court and get even bigger settlements placed on them.
This is the plight of a MIT student named Cassi Hunt. I know her story may be old news, but I consider it pertinent to now. I will post excerpts from an article here:
Cassi Hunt has recently been accused by the RIAA of being guilty of file-sharing. We all know what happens now: the RIAA will extort her for thousands of dollars (in Cassi's case, $3750) as a "settlement" to prevent her having to go to court. Or, as Cassie puts it in her highly entertaining and witty account: " Let us screw you over gently now, or with chains and whips in court."
Now, Cassi's remark is quite hilarious....and here is the RIAA's response:
But get this. When Cassi mentions she can't afford $3750, being an MIT student already up to her eyeballs in a lifetime's worth of debt, the RIAA helpfully countered: So? Drop out of school so you can afford it.
So the RIAA has shown it's true colors finally. Personally...I say the whole lot of them can go fuck themselves. They can't stop all of us, and they never will.

Apple TV Alternative
OK, last post was about the Apple TV. Now for those of you who know me, I love to visit Hackaday. In fact it is listed in my links over on the right of the page. Well they had this electronics hack that caught my attention. I love the idea and I may consider doing it seeing as I pirate some movies here and there.
The basic idea behind the hack is to take an old Divx player and attach it to a wifi router, preferably running dd-wrt, and hook it into your network so you can host up media files from it. Another added benefit to this setup is that you are able to update the Divx player without having to hook it into a PC. Check out the post on Hackaday for the full write up and links to the site with instructions.

Apple TV
Interesting idea by Apple. I like the concept though, download a movie and put it on your iPod...but what if you could just put it on your flat screen tv instead? This would make my movie watching experience all the better...nothing like watching a move gained by questionable methods on a big tv with hi-def capabilities. What makes it even better is the fact the Apple TV uses your wireless network to get the content. Bravo Apple. We adore convenience here in the tech world and you are on the right track. Oh...and it didn't take long for people to hack it either. Read up on the tv itself here and the website for hacking your Apple TV is here.

All is Well
I am going to work on the podcast myself since Steve and my schedule's make it nearly impossible for us to meet up at my house to record it. I may just have to figure out a decent way of phoning it in, if only my computer was able to run two instances of Skype at once. Ah well.
Let's see...news, oh yes. I heard about this interesting game disc that has it's own operating system, a linux distro for those of you who are curious. It sounds interesting for the fact is that it is trying to be an open platform gaming console for your computer. Apparently it was designed at a Nintendo conference. The system is called Gamix and here is a link to the website so you can request your own copy of the disc.
Other news, well, none off of the top of my head. I do recommend that you go and listen to some of the podcasts done by IGN. They are pretty interesting really. I have my PSP with a gigabyte stick in it set to download each new episode at six in the morning so that I have some form of entertainment during school.
Hmm...anything else. Well I think I have put quite a bit of stuff into this for almost one in the morning. Just think, I have a school day then a five hour work shift to do after all of this. Heh, lucky me and my poor judgement. Nah, it was worth staying up to play some video games and throw a quick post up. See you around on the net.

Delay
The podcast has been delayed due to illness (Steve) and some school competitions springing up. Now, I still plan on doing the podcast but I am waiting for Steve and myself to get a little free time in order to do so. Hopefully we will have time this Saturday or so. No promises are being made. I may be able to do crappy sounding podcast recordings on the go with my new toy. I have a Zire 72s PDA that has a built in microphone. The ironic part about this, I found it laying around on the ground. Not a bad find really. I have loaded games onto it and it looks like I can record around half an hour of audio with the small bit of memory left on it. The thing only has twenty-five megabytes of built in memory, but hey...I picked it up for free and it has support for SD, MMC, and I think one or two other types of cards. Not a bad find at all.
