Wow, too much coffee on an empty stomach... which is sad because I've only had half a cup all day. But soon it will be lunch time and I can put something in my tummy so that I'm not so jittery.
I bought an xbox, and ordered a modchip. But there were problems with the mod-chip order, and it said that I hadn't ordered anything even though I got confirmation of the order. So I called and the guy said there was no problem and that it should ship the next day. So the next day, and the day after, still no update on his site and no email to the effect that it had been shipped or cancelled. So I figured it was cancelled, and decided to flash my TSOP instead. So I went to the video store and rented James Bond, and went out and bought Action Replay for xbox (not bad, it has a USB dock for memory cards, and it comes with an 8meg card), so I could transfer the exploited saved game. TSOP modding a v1.5 xbox is actually pretty easy.
So I've been playing with that the past couple days, and then yesterday I got an email saying my mod-chip had been shipped. oops, so I reflashed my TSOP with the origional bios, and am now waiting for my modchip to arrive. Good thing I got that email before having to return James Bond. hehe
I've done a little dabbling in the open source world. I modified a version of the BitTorrent client to disconnect once it's done downloading, between that and a simple bash script I wrote I can now say 'getall' and download all the torrents in a directory without having to watch and see when they finish. Eventually I'll change it so that it will only quit after I have a certain share ratio.
Welp I'm back to work now that this file is done downloading... peace
